Shares of Kaiser Aluminum climbed above a buy point Wednesday, just days after the company issued a bullish quarterly report, and as the stock stands out among peers. With an IBD Composite Rating of 98 and a three-month Relative Strength Rating of 82, Kaiser Aluminum has emerged as the leader among aluminum stocks. In last month's earnings report, CEO Keith Harvey said the "underlying story is increasingly one of stronger customer demand, improving market conditions and strengthening business fundamentals."

Century Aluminum is Thursday's IBD Stock Of The Day as the largest U.S. aluminum producer is humming like rarely before thanks to Trump tariffs and fallout from the Middle East conflict. The good news has legs, which is why CENX stock continued to rise within buy range even amid a report that U.S. and Iranian negotiators see eye-to-eye on a potential 60-day ceasefire. Aluminum prices climbed 0.8% to a four-year-high $3,650 per metric ton and have climbed around 18% since the conflict began Feb. 28, according to CME Group data.
