Neal West, the Executive Vice President and the Chief Financial Officer of Kaiser Aluminium, sold 5000 common shares worth USD 609,000 on February 23, 2026.
Multiple transactions took place with prices ranging from USD 120 to USD 126 per share and an average sale price of USD 122. Following the sale, the stock price rose to USD 132, showing a 93 per cent increase over the past year.
Post transaction scenario represents West directly owning 18,960 shares and indirectly owning 12,775 shares through West Family Trust. Currently, the stock is trading above its estimated fair value. In Q4 FY25, the reported earnings of Kaiser Aluminium outshone the Wall Street expectations, achieving a rate of USD 1.53 per share (10.07 per cent more). Eventually, this led to revenue of USD 929 million against the predicted amount of USD 902 million.
Despite the price strength, institutional ownership decreased by 5.47 per cent (28 owners) in the last quarter, indicating some institutional investors may be taking profits or are cautious about the future outlook and market conditions as the company continues to experience several key complexities regarding valuation, debt and operational performance.
