Constellium SE CSTM is scheduled to release first-quarter 2026 results on April 29, before market open.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Constellium’s first-quarter earnings has increased 8.8% in the past 30 days. The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the consensus estimate thrice in the preceding four quarters, while missing once, the average surprise being 112.6%.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.45 billion, indicating growth of 23.8% from the prior-year quarter’s figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at 62 cents per share, indicating a 138.5% increase from the year-ago quarter’s number.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for CSTM this earnings season.
Factors to Note Ahead of IR’s Results
Constellium’s Packaging & Automotive Rolled Products segment is anticipated to have performed well in the first quarter, driven by significant orders for packaging rolled products in North America and Europe, as well as automotive rolled products in North America. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues is pegged at $1.49 billion.
The Aerospace & Transportation segment’s results are expected to benefit from solid growth in orders for transportation, industry and defense rolled products. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues is pegged at $540 million.
Increase in metal prices, stable shipments and higher shipments of other extruded products are likely to have augmented the performance of the Automotive Structures & Industry segment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues is pegged at $411 million.
However, CSTM’s bottom line is likely to have reflected the impact of high raw material and consumables costs in the first quarter. Rising selling and administrative expenses due to an increase in labor costs are expected to have dented its margins and profitability.
The company has considerable exposure to overseas markets. Given its substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have marred its profitability.
