Core Viewpoint - Century Aluminum (CENX.US) announced a partnership with Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) to build a new plant, leading to a decline in stock price due to market concerns regarding the project's short-term implications and funding dynamics [1] Recent Events - On January 27, 2026, Century Aluminum and EGA announced plans to construct a primary aluminum plant in Oklahoma with an annual production capacity of 750,000 tons. The total investment is expected to exceed $5 billion, with EGA holding 60% and Century Aluminum holding 40%. The project is set to commence construction by the end of 2026 and be operational before 2030. This collaboration aims to reduce U.S. dependence on aluminum imports and benefit from domestic aluminum premiums due to U.S. tariff policies [2] Stock Performance - Following the announcement, Century Aluminum's stock price dropped by 8.4% on the same day. Analysts from Montreal Bank noted that market concerns about high capital expenditures and cyclical risks in the aluminum industry, particularly amid uncertainties in tariff policies, contributed to this decline. While the partnership is expected to benefit capacity expansion in the long term, short-term risks related to financing and construction progress need to be monitored [3] Funding Situation - On November 15, 2025, the largest shareholder, Glencore, sold 9 million shares at $30.65 each, raising approximately $276 million. This sale led to a nearly 14% drop in stock price, interpreted by the market as a sign of concern regarding Century Aluminum's profitability, increasing selling pressure. As of February 10, 2026, the stock price was $51.96, down 4.42% for the day, but had increased by 9.32% over the past five trading days, with a year-to-date gain of 32.62%. The announcement of the partnership may have prompted some investors to take profits at high stock levels, resulting in a short-term pullback [4] Future Development - The partnership project is expected to increase Century Aluminum's equity capacity by 300,000 tons, combined with the full production plan of the Mt. Holly plant in June 2026, potentially doubling total capacity. The 50% aluminum import tariff in the U.S. and tax credits from the IRA act are expected to continue supporting domestic aluminum premiums. Attention should be paid to aluminum price fluctuations, the EU's CBAM carbon tariffs, and the progress of project financing [5]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant information provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Aluminum prices fluctuated within a narrow range during the day, with significantly lower volatility compared to the previous period. The main contract 2603 closed at 23,515, down slightly by 0.3%. The import window remained closed, with a theoretical loss of -2,300 yuan/ton for spot imports at the close. The cast aluminum alloy followed the trend of Shanghai aluminum, with a negative AD - AL spread of -1,395 yuan/ton at the close. Alumina adjusted oscillatingly during the day, temporarily remaining above 2,800. As centralized maintenance ends, the industry's operating rate is expected to rise again. Attention should be paid to domestic policies and political disturbances in Guinea. There were limited changes in the electrolytic aluminum supply. Downstream industries have basically entered the holiday period, with the operating rate of processing enterprises decreasing. The social inventory of aluminum ingots increased to 857,000 tons on Monday, with the inventory accumulation rate exceeding the seasonal level of previous years and reaching a three - year high. As the long holiday approaches, funds tend to be cautious, and the volatility of the non - ferrous sector has significantly decreased. The demand is in the off - season, and the high prices have suppressed demand, resulting in insufficient support. It should be treated as a short - term adjustment. As the long holiday is approaching, it is advisable to observe more and act less, and pay attention to macro - pricing and the realization of post - holiday demand expectations [7] 3.
