The demand for aluminum and its price are rising with the reopening of industrial activities and we think Constellium (NYSE:CSTM) is well-positioned to benefit from the industry tailwinds. However, with supply chain bottlenecks remaining a concern, we think fundamentally weak Alcoa (NYSE:AA) and Century Aluminum (NASDAQ:CENX) are best avoided now.

With the reopening of industrial activities, surging aluminum demand has pushed aluminum prices up to 10-year highs. The metal has climbed almost 80% in price from May 2020, and analysts expect the global aluminum market to grow at a 5% CAGR of 5% between 2021 - 2026.
