Context and risks

Verdict: Hold; the valuation is cheap and the aluminum deficit supports prices, but the high earnings growth is unsustainable in the long term.
Main risk: The main risk is the cyclical nature of aluminum: the current 146.8% earnings growth could reverse sharply if aluminum prices fall or demand weakens.
