Investing.com - Jefferies has raised its price target on Howmet Aerospace Inc . (NYSE:HWM) to $220.00 from $210.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The aerospace giant, currently trading at $190.16 with a market capitalization of $76.84 billion, has demonstrated remarkable performance with a 144.86% return over the past year. According to InvestingPro data, analysts maintain a Strong Buy consensus on the stock.
The adjustment follows Jefferies’ analysis of the aerospace fastener market after the loss of Precision Castparts Corp’s (PCC) Jenkintown facility, which removed approximately 10% ($400 million) of annual aerospace and defense fastener capacity from a $4 billion per year market.
Fastener activity, which was at 109% of January 2023 levels before the Jenkintown fire, fell to 100% in June 2025 due to the incident, representing an 8% decline from pre-fire levels or a $328 million annualized impact.
Excluding the Jenkintown facility, overall market activity increased 2% ($94 million annualized), with the Jenkintown situation creating a net impact exceeding $400 million.
In June, PCP’s operations excluding Jenkintown showed a 2% increase compared to pre-fire levels, while Howmet Aerospace demonstrated slightly stronger performance with a 3% increase.
