Kaiser Aluminum price target raised to $183 from $170 at KeyBanc

KeyBanc analyst Samuel McKinney raised the firm’s price target on Kaiser Aluminum (KALU) to $183 from $170 on a higher 2027 view, while keeping an Overweight rating on the shares. Following Kaiser’s Q1 earnings results, the firm is increasing its 2026-2027 estimates on further end-market confidence in Aero/HS, where the second half of 2026 comparable sales should be much easier, and Packaging, where the new roll coat line Warrick is expected to average 80% utilization this year in a growing-demand/constrained-supply market.
