Howmet Aerospace delivered strong Q4 results, with 15% revenue growth and 29% EBITDA growth, but remains fairly valued after a 24% stock surge. HWM's premium valuation—29.1x EV/EBITDA—reflects broad-based demand, but near-term upside is limited unless operating leverage and double-digit growth materialize. Guidance for 2024 includes $9.1B sales, 30.1–30.5% margins, and $1.6B free cash flow, with incremental upside from the CAM acquisition if capital intensity remains low.
