Analyst estimate revisions
| 30-day change | -2.9% |
|---|---|
| 90-day change | -3.4% |
| Forward EPS estimate | $11.72 |
Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect CENX to earn is drifting lower (-3.4%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A fiscal-year roll fell inside this window: the forward horizon moved on to the next financial year, which shifts the earnings figure without any analyst changing their view. That step is excluded, so the number above covers the rest of the window rather than all of it.

Century Aluminum Company (CENX): score, valuation & FAQ
Century Aluminum Company (CENX) is an Aluminum company that scores 62.2 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A), PEG (A) and Rev (B+). On valuation, CENX sits about 111% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 30% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten.
Is CENX a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores CENX 62.2 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by P/E (A), PEG (A) and Rev (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Century Aluminum Company's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does CENX score 62.2 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on quality at 71.2 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 50.0 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. CENX earns its highest marks on P/E (A), PEG (A) and Rev (B+). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so CENX is measured against Aluminum peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is CENX overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $36.76, CENX sits about 111% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 30% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 6.3x P/E (graded A). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in CENX?
Down 48% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Beta 2.08 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return.
