🟢Market: OPEN

Century Aluminum Co (CENX) is currently trading at $43.40. There is a divergence between signals — underlying fundamentals rate "Buy" but technical indicators lean "Strong Sell". Notable factors include a robust Altman Z-Score, exceptional Return on Equity (43.0%) and a bearish Death Cross on the long-term moving averages. The stock looks compelling on valuation, with multiples below sector averages across P/E, P/B, and EV/EBITDA.
