Jefferies trims Howmet Aerospace price target to $350 while keeping Buy rating

Jefferies reduced its fair‑value estimate for Howmet Aerospace to $350 per share, down from $370, after the stock fell 17% over the past six months. The broker highlighted the company's 22% revenue increase over the last year and stronger‑than‑expected third‑quarter earnings of $1.46 per share on $2.7 billion of revenue. Despite the lower target, Jefferies maintained a Buy recommendation, noting continued demand in aerospace and industrial gas turbines.

The lower target may temper investor expectations and could weigh on the share price, even though the Buy rating signals continued confidence. The adjustment reflects Jefferies' view that the stock is now overvalued relative to its recent performance.
