Century Aluminum stock closed at USD 35.03 on Nasdaq on October 16, 2026, up 2.43 percent from the prior close of USD 34.20. The move leaves the aluminum producer trading on a valuation multiple that is materially below the level of two large listed peers.

Valuation stays at 6.06

Century Aluminum had a P/E ratio of 6.06 and a market capitalization of USD 3.5 billion on October 16, 2026. The multiple gives the stock a clear numerical position within the aluminum group, although the comparison does not by itself establish a valuation conclusion.

The company produces primary aluminum for industrial customers and operates smelting facilities in the United States and Iceland. Its business therefore combines exposure to aluminum prices with the operating costs of energy-intensive production.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The Nasdaq price stood USD 35.40 below the 52-week high of USD 70.43, a distance of 50.26 percent, on October 16, 2026. It was USD 9.63 above the 52-week low of USD 25.40, or 37.91 percent. The two figures frame a wide trading range for the stock.

The last completed Nasdaq session also showed a high of USD 36.59 and a low of USD 34.60. Century Aluminum opened at USD 34.64, while volume reached 2,251,202 shares against an average of 1,935,532 shares.
