As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">Election Week 2024</a> is upon us, Wall Street is geared up for sector-specific shakeups, with JPMorgan's Bill Peterson spotlighting a decisive split in potential stock moves.
With a Democratic win likely to power up the clean energy sector and a Donald Trump victory poised to boost steel, the stakes are high for investors in metals, mining and clean tech.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Harris Win: Green Light For Clean Tech Rally?</h1>
Should Vice-President Kamala Harris take the White House, expect a boost across clean tech stocks, especially those linked to electric vehicles (EV) and hydrogen.
Peterson points to EVgo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>), ChargePoint Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHPT#NASDAQ">CHPT</a>) and lithium players like Lithium Americas Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAC#NYSE">LAC</a>) and Piedmont Lithium Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLL#NASDAQ">PLL</a>) as likely to benefit from sustained clean energy initiatives.
Stocks like Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLUG#NASDAQ">PLUG</a>) could also rally, riding on investor confidence that government spending won't dry up for sectors heavily backed by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Win: Steel's Comeback With A Dose Of Protectionism</h1>
A Trump victory could be a bullish setup for the steel sector, especially for domestic players like Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>), and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>), which would benefit from protectionist policies supporting U.S. steel pricing.
Peterson highlights that Trump's stance against the proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel Corp (OTCPK: NISTF) could keep the spotlight on domestic operators, while Trade Expansion Act Section 232 tariffs could make U.S. steel prices attractive.
Kaiser Aluminum Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) stands to gain over Constellium SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>) if more tariffs come into play, thanks to Kaiser&#8217;s U.S. footprint.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rare Earths &amp; Base Metals: Supply Security Takes The Stage</h1>
Regardless of the outcome, Western supply chain security remains a hot-button issue, favorably positioning rare earth and graphite players like MP Materials Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) and GrafTech International Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAF#NYSE">EAF</a>).
For base metals, names like Alcoa Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>) and Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>) may see an impact from intensified China tariffs, with pricing ripple effects dependent on global stimulus responses.
With the election outcome set to shape market dynamics, these sectors have distinct paths forward. For now, it's a wait-and-see game for investors in metals, mining, and clean tech.

Insights Ahead: Kaiser Aluminum's Quarterly Earnings

As every investor knows &#8212; a stock is cheap, and in decline, for a reason.
Over the last 12 months, the NYSE-listed shares of global aluminum giant Constellium (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSTM#NYSE">CSTM</a>) are down 12%, while rivals like Alcoa Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>), Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) and Century Aluminum Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CENX#NASDAQ">CENX</a>) are all up. Alcoa is up 55%. CENX is like crypto aluminum, up 155.8% in a year.
Its price-to-earnings ratio is not bad at 12x, and it has a new <a href="https://www.asminternational.org/constelliums-muscle-shoals-facility-receives-department-of-defense-grant-to-increase-casting-capacity/">$65 million investment</a> in a new aluminum plant being built in Alabama, though that is not expected to be operational until the second half of 2026.
What's the problem?
As some in Washington might say – it's Russia's fault.
That's sort of true. Constellium makes aluminum products that it casts from aluminum sheets, some of which it <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/constellium-keep-buying-aluminium-rusal-executive-2022-09-15/">imports</a> from Russian-based aluminum company Rusal. Prior to the war in Ukraine, the Europeans loved Russian aluminum – especially Rusal aluminum – because a lot of it is made in factories powered by a hydroelectric dam. This means it is deemed <a href="https://www.alcircle.com/press-release/rusal-achieves-100-green-aluminium-production-111484">low-carbon friendly aluminum</a>. But Rusal aluminum is facing restrictions and that means Constellium is now paying more for primary aluminum than a year ago and is focusing more on European and U.S. production. European producers are in worse shape as they have reduced primary aluminum production by about 30% over the last five years, likely due to environmental regulations.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Constellation: A Victim of Geopolitics</h3>
In April, the U.S. Government imposed a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-takes-action-targeting-russian-aluminum-copper-nickel-2024-04-12/">200% tariff on aluminum</a> products if they contained aluminum sourced from Russia, even if the finished product was made elsewhere. Since March 10, 2023, Washington already had increased tariffs on Russian aluminum products up from the Sectio to 200%, up from the roughly 25% in the Section 232 aluminum tariffs imposed globally by then-president Trump in 2018. The supply of Russian aluminum to the United States is currently zero.
U.S. importers have turned to the Middle East for alternatives, <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/aluminum">increasing prices</a> by an additional $200 per ton from those sources due to U.S. demand.
Europe is <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/10/17/europes-tough-choice-sanction-aluminium-or-proceed-with-climate-goals">thinking of doing the same</a>. This weighs heavily on Constellium shares for the near term, at least until the European Commission decides on what to do about Russian aluminum imports.
A March 4 <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/europe-battle-with-us-aluminium-if-eu-opts-russian-ban-2024-03-04/">article</a> by Reuters put it this way: "The loss of Russian metal would leave Europe with a shortfall of around 500,000 tons. Middle Eastern suppliers will not be able to fully substitute Europe&#8217;s shortfall quickly."
A small group of EU countries keep pushing for <a href="https://www.mining.com/web/aluminum-group-steps-up-call-on-eu-to-bar-imports-of-the-russian-metal/">tougher measures</a> against Russia, led by Poland and the Baltic states. They want U.S.-style restrictions on aluminum imports. Some EU economies are blocking this move, most likely Germany and France, which rely on imports at least in part to manufacture cars and aircraft.
Restrictions on aluminum could pose a threat to domestic industries, which are already losing out in competitiveness to Asia, according to Chris Weafer, the Chief Executive of Macro-Advisory , an investment research firm and consultancy focused on emerging markets with offices in Washington DC. The EU relies on imports for over 90% of its aluminum needs, with 8-9% coming from Russia.
"The EU is walking a tightrope between the need to increase the sanctions pressure on Russia while at the same time…keeping its own economy and domestic enterprises afloat," Weafer wrote in an <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/10/17/europes-tough-choice-sanction-aluminium-or-proceed-with-climate-goals">op-ed</a> published by Euro News on Oct. 17.
If there are new sanctions, Weafer said in a report to clients last month, there will be some further Russian imports this year because of residual contracts. But after that, Russian imports "eventually fall to zero for the foreseeable future," he wrote. If there are no sanctions – which is still possible if big industry in Western Europe get their way – then Weafer thinks Russian imports will fall gradually as more European companies will either choose domestic production or be pressured to import from elsewhere.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Call To Reveal More This Week</h3>
Constellium will have their earnings call on Wednesday, Oct. 23 before the market opens.
Investors are likely to wait and see what Europe does about Russia. Constellium's long-term prospects, meanwhile, seem okay.
The company's stock survived the Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in March 2018. Constellium's share price ended the month at $10.85 per share and hit $12.15 per share in May 2018 despite the higher prices associated at the time with the tariff. Constellium today trades closer to $15.
Alcoa stocks rose last week after an earnings beat. JP Morgan <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/alcoa-analysts-increase-their-forecasts-after-upbeat-earnings/ar-AA1ss6dg">raised</a> its price target from $36 to $39.&nbsp; That call is too late for investors now. Alcoa has already surpassed that target and was trading over $41 on Friday.
Constellium could see similar fortunes.
Aluminum is one of the metals required for the energy grid and for new EVs and solar. Global demand is set to reach 85 million tons in 2030, up from 66 million tons in 2020. Given tariffs as they are now, it is clear the U.S. sees aluminum as a critical sector worth protecting, so Constellium's Alabama project should find plenty of demand locally. Longer-term buyers may be rewarded. For now, out of the four big aluminum companies – AA, KALU and CENX – CSTM is the worst performer. Still, it has a better profit margin than Alcoa at 2.35% versus negative 5.14% for Alcoa and Alcoa just got an upgrade.

Why Edwards Lifesciences Shares Are Trading Lower? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Thursday's Mid-Day Session

Kaiser Aluminum shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q2 financial results.

Kaiser Aluminum Expects FY24 Conversion Revenue To Be Flat To Up 1% And Adjusted EBITDA Margins To Improve 50 To 100 Basis Points Over 2023

Kaiser Aluminum (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>) reported quarterly earnings of $0.65 per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $0.91 by 28.57 percent. The company reported quarterly sales of $773.400 million which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $773.650 million by 0.03 percent. This is a 5.00 percent decrease over sales of $814.100 million the same period last year.

Kaiser Aluminum Q2 2024 Adj EPS $0.65 Misses $0.91 Estimate, Sales $773.400M Miss $773.650M Estimate

Kaiser Aluminum's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NYSE">KALU</a>) short percent of float has risen 22.73% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 654 thousand shares sold short, which is 5.94% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.7 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Kaiser Aluminum has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Kaiser Aluminum's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Kaiser Aluminum's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.03%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Price Target

Benchmark Maintains Buy on Kaiser Aluminum, Raises Price Target to $100

In the world of aerospace, when a giant like Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) hits turbulence — the shockwaves are felt far and wide. One such ripple effect has landed squarely on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/short-sellers/24/06/39338181/kalu-analyzing-kaiser-aluminums-short-interest">Kaiser Aluminum Corp</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALU#NASDAQ">KALU</a>).
Kaiser has a long-term contract with Boeing. Kaiser supplies sheet and light gauge aluminum plate for use in Boeing commercial aircraft products.

Boeing&#8217;s plight in recent months has led investors to cast a doubt on its suppliers&#8217; prospects. A prime example of this is seen in Kaiser Aluminium&#8217;s stock. Kaiser&#8217;s short interest has surged to a 12-month high, according to JPMorgan analyst Bill Peterson&#8217;s latest Short Interest Tracker.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">High-Flying Concerns</h3>
As of the June 28 settlement, Kaiser Aluminum&#8217;s short interest had rocketed 23% to 4.2% — a significant leap from its one-year average of 2.9%. The reasons? Mounting concerns over Boeing&#8217;s de-stocking and an overstretched stock momentum have investors on edge.
Numbers That Speak
<ul>
<li>KALU's short interest: 4.2%, up 23% in two weeks, 25% over four weeks</li>
<li>Stock price (as of July 10): $90.19</li>
<li>Analyst rating: Neutral (N)</li>
<li>Price target: $85.00, indicating a 6% downside</li>
<li>Price movements: +2.2% over one week, -2.1% over one month</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Boeing Effect</h3>
Peterson points out that the catalyst for this spike in short interest is the increased risk surrounding Boeing.
As Boeing grapples with its own set of challenges, the ripple effect has not only impacted its stock but also put suppliers like Kaiser Aluminum. Boeing&#8217;s de-stocking fears have made investors wary, prompting them to bet against Kaiser Aluminum stock in anticipation of further declines.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Short Sellers In The Cockpit</h3>
With the average days-to-cover falling to 3.3 days from 5.1 days, short sellers are clearly in the cockpit. They are clearly navigating this volatile landscape with heightened activity. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KALU/short-interest">jump in short interest</a> is a stark reminder of the cautious sentiment pervading the market as investors brace for potential fallout from Boeing&#8217;s woes.
In the ever-turbulent skies of aerospace investments, Kaiser Aluminum finds itself in a precarious position. As Boeing battles its own demons, the reverberations continue to unsettle its suppliers, making Kaiser Aluminum a focal point for short sellers betting on further instability. 
Whether this turbulence will lead to a smoother landing or more rough skies ahead remains to be seen.

Boeing's Turbulence Sends Kaiser Aluminum's Short Interest Soaring To 12-Month High

(KALU) - Analyzing Kaiser Aluminum's Short Interest

SiteOne Landscape (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/site#NYSE">SITE</a>) has acquired Cohen &amp; Cohen Natural Stone, thus expanding its capacity to provide a full range of hardscape products and landscape supplies to its customers in eastern Canada. 
Cohen and Cohen Natural Stone provides a range of natural stone, concrete, masonry and landscape accessories. It has one location in Ottawa, Canada and is an authorized dealer for brands such as Unilock, Best Way Stone, Porcea Stone and Banas Stone. Cohen and Cohen also provides in-house fabrication services, such as ripping, cutting and coring, to ensure that every piece of stone is tailor-made to the client&#39;s specific requirements. 
This is the fourth acquisition for SiteOne Landscape so far in 2024. Earlier this month, the company announced the acquisition of AC Florida Pavers, LLC, which operates under the trade name Hardscape.com. This buyout will expand SITE&#39;s ability to provide hardscape products to its Florida customers and is a significant addition to its existing premium hardscapes offerings nationally. 
On Apr 29, 2024, SiteOne Landscape announced the acquisition of Eggemeyer, a wholesale distributor of bulk landscape supplies.&nbsp; It caters to the greater central and south Texas market from a location in New Braunfels, TX. This addition strengthens SITE&#39;s position as the leading bulk landscape distributor in the rapidly growing central Texas region.
On Apr 30, the company announced that it purchased a majority stake in Devil Mountain Wholesale Nursery, LLC (Devil Mountain), with the option to purchase the remaining interest in future years. Devil Mountain is the largest wholesale distributor of landscape trees and plants in California. It has eight wholesale nursery distribution branches and six growing facilities across the state.
In addition to the 11 acquisitions completed in 2023, the company&#39;s recent buyouts reflect its ongoing expansion strategy to broaden its presence across various markets.
As of the end of the first quarter, SiteOne Landscape had more than 690 branches and four distribution centers covering 45 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces. Despite being the industry leader and three times larger than its closest competitor, SITE currently holds only a 17% share of the $25 billion wholesale landscaping products distribution market. Backed by its solid acquisition pipeline and strong balance sheet, the company has the potential to capture a larger share of the market.
In the first quarter, the company&#39;s net sales increased 8% year over year to $904.8 million. Organic daily sales increased 1% compared with the prior-year quarter due to solid demand. However, pricing declined 4% as double-digit deflation in commodity products like fertilizer, seed and PVC pipe more than offset modest cost increases in other product lines. SiteOne Landscape reported a loss of 43 cents per share against a loss of 10 cents in the year-ago quarter as higher net sales were offset by a lower gross margin and increased SG&amp;A expense.&nbsp; 
SiteOne Landscape anticipates prices to be down approximately 2% in 2024. However, improved volumes will reflect solid end-market demand. The company thus expects organic daily sales growth in the low single digits. SITE expects EBITDA margins to improve aided by operational initiatives, SG&amp;A management and contribution from acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $420 - $455 million.
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
Shares of SiteOne Landscape have lost 14.9% over the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 11.3% decline.
