Century Aluminum reported Q2 2026 results on August 6, 2026. Earnings per share were $2.46, ahead of the $2.33 estimate by 5.43%. Revenue was $752.1 million, about 8% below the $817.1 million estimate. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS rose from $0.30 to $2.46, about eight times higher, and revenue rose about 19.7% from $628.1 million. The $2.46 is the highest quarterly EPS in the table.

Earnings have climbed after a run of losses. Century Aluminum lost money in Q3 2021, Q3 and Q4 2022, Q1 and Q3 2023, and Q1 2024. Annual EPS was $0.24 in 2022, $0.31 in 2023, $1.10 in 2024 and $2.47 in 2025, and the first half of 2026 alone adds up to $4.09. Revenue has moved less: 2025 revenue of $2.53 billion was about 9% below 2022's $2.78 billion, and the quarterly high in the table is still Q2 2022 at $856.6 million. The company beat the EPS estimate in 15 of the last 20 quarters.

Century Aluminum reported Q3 results between November 3 and November 8 in each of the past five years. That points to early November 2026 for the next report, which will allow a comparison with Q3 2025's $0.56 per share.
