On May 1, shares of Howmet Aerospace jumped 6.8% after the company raised its 2025 adjusted EPS forecast to a range of $3.36 to $3.44, up from previous guidance, despite ongoing tariff headwinds. The stock surge was driven by stronger-than-expected Q1 2025 results, including an adjusted EPS of $0.86 and revenue of $1.9 billion. Investor sentiment was further bolstered by the company’s ability to pass on higher costs amid strong demand fueled by increased jet production. Additionally, Howmet secured between $20 million and $30 million in new orders.
