Description: HWM Howmet Aerospace September 26, 2025

Howmet Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:HWM) designs and manufactures high-performance components for aerospace and transportation markets across North America, Europe, and Asia, operating under four business segments: Engine Products, Fastening Systems, Engineered Structures, and Forged Wheels. The company traces its roots to 1888 and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, having rebranded from Arconic Inc.

In fiscal 2023 the firm reported roughly $5.2 billion in revenue, with the Engine Products segment contributing about 45 % of sales and maintaining an EBITDA margin near 12 %. The Fastening Systems line, a key supplier to both commercial jet OEMs and defense contractors, has benefited from rising aircraft deliveries, while the Engineered Structures segment leverages its titanium and nickel capabilities to capture higher-margin defense contracts. The Forged Wheels business, although a smaller share, serves the growing heavy-duty truck market, which is sensitive to fuel-efficiency regulations.

Key economic drivers for HWM include the global jet-engine fleet renewal cycle (estimated at 2-3 % annual growth), defense spending trends that boost demand for titanium airframe parts, and macro-level supply-chain constraints on specialty alloys. A material-cost exposure to aluminum and titanium prices adds volatility; recent spot-price spikes have pressured margins, but the company’s long-term supply agreements mitigate some risk. Investors should monitor OEM inventory levels and the pace of commercial aircraft deliveries, as these are leading indicators of segment-specific revenue trends.
