Century Aluminum (CENX) Q2 Revenue Jumps
Century Aluminum (NASDAQ:CENX), a top producer of primary aluminum with operations in the U.S. and Iceland, released its second quarter results on August 7, 2025. The biggest news: GAAP revenue for Q2 2025 beat expectations, totaling $628.1 million versus the analyst forecast of $611.35 million. Adjusted earnings per share (non-GAAP) for Q2 2025, however, fell short of consensus at $0.30 versus the $0.34 estimate. Management pointed to strong aluminum shipments, improving regional pricing, and support from U.S. tariffs as positives, but bottom-line results were weighed down by increased raw material costs and several unique charges. Overall, Q2 2025 demonstrated revenue momentum but continued to face margin and cost challenges.
