CENXCentury Aluminum Company
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: cheap against its own history and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for ~6% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 5% a year.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 5.4 vs a 15.9 median over 16 quarters (−66% vs median).
Sector median 17.6× across 53 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
Unless marked, from derived, as of Jun 30, 2026.

Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
