Constellium SE (CSTM - Free Report) continues to gain momentum, with the Automotive Structures & Industry (AS&I) segment playing an important role in driving its overall growth. The segment’s shipments totaled 202,000 metric tons in 2025, supported by a strong demand environment.
Revenues from the segment increased 10% to nearly $1.6 billion in the year, supported by strong volumes of shipments and metal prices.

Aluminum has become an attractive investment over the past few years with growing popularity for lighter and energy-efficient electric vehicles, recycled aluminum and rechargeable batteries.

As a result, global aluminum prices have increased, benefiting major industry players such as Constellium.
