Howmet Aerospace Inc (NYSE: HWM)
Howmet Aerospace derives the vast majority of its revenue supplying specialty metals to the aerospace and defense end market, although it has a smaller presence in certain other end markets as well. Despite emerging from an aluminum-centric parent company, only 20% of its volumes are aluminum products. Instead, superalloys constitute roughly 60% of volumes and titanium products account for the balance. Key value-added product lines are frequently used in applications that require stress tolerance as well as corrosion and heat resistance.
A quick look at the price chart below for Howmet Aerospace shows us that the stock is down 28% in the past twelve months. We currently have the stock trading on an Acquirer’s Multiple of 8.23, which means that it’s undervalued.
