HWM trade ideas
somewhere in the box it can see buying pressureThis area is key because it needs to be filled around the mark where I drew the box for obvious reasons. Still, you can also see that stochastic, as well as others, are very much oversold, which is also a clue of forward-moving bullish behavior.
11/5/24 - $hwm - One to buy on dips, solid biz11/5/24 :: VROCKSTAR :: NYSE:HWM
One to buy on dips, solid biz
- tryin' to get ahead of rest of EPS pile today/tmr
- this one reports Wed AM (after we learn which fruit pie won at the county fair)
- i digress
- this thing is such a solid biz. genuinely feel life i've missed "the move", b/c at 2.2-2.5% fcf yield growing HSD-low doubles, and 33x next year PE, there's not too much on the valuation side that's giving me that great R/R
- on the converse, dips will likely be bought hardcore and "space" is a theme not going away and these guys have solid margins, a nice niche (lightweight metal mfg for key parts/ components), no stock based shenanigans like tech bro co's... it's a great biz
- a warren buffett stock, let's say
- so while i'd probably be tempted to buy a dip if say today we dive into the close on a risk-off situation (and it's flows related)... i might just have to sit this one out and wait for more of a macro pullback where the tide dunks all boats for the time being.
- that gap in the 70s would be "obvious" buy. but honestly, if we get there something's probably wrong. i think low 90s is good value and in the 80s is a solid place to get busy with a 1% stake. so setting my alarms accordingly and will monitor for the day, otherwise will report back if/when.
- congrats to the longs

BREAKDOWN HIGHLY ANTICIPATED until signs of stabilizing currentThe trend is exhausted. It has stopped moving due to increased price stability. Buyers have slowed, but the pressure of selling hasn't come in quite just yet. There is a divergence between the MACD being bearish and stock bullish, candles also fading, may see a drop of 6-10 points, possibly picking up from 95 range.
RETRACE TO 99 on the trendline before continuationThe market has seen perfect bullish sentiment movement to the upside. It is still following the trend. The DOJI is resistant. Other indicators have room to run. The market is closing in on highs.
Room to run to 100 with all the momentum on its sideLooking for signs of a reversal. Doesn't seem to have exhausted further options; we see a retrace and a continuation.
do see a clear path ahead, not a reversal in sightTwo boxes in green could follow the same direction as the previous box prior to earnings did. From a technical standpoint, the indicators are nowhere as near as close to a shift in the stock until I see this I don't have a clear sign of a reversal.

notice the death cross on the MACDGaps galore. Once the bubble bursts and the hysteria dies down, I'm looking to rent in the mid-80s. The MACD does seem to be closing, which I am monitoring.
double top opportunity could speak volumesIt has been on a very exciting run in the past few weeks, looking for a higher area of new highs; otherwise, the top could be in, denying it a further run.
Howmet Aerospace Surges 15% As it Leads the S&P 500 GainersHowmet Aerospace's stock soared early Tuesday, breaking out as the company reported strong earnings, optimistic guidance, and significant hikes to its dividend and buyback program.

Revenue rose 14% to $1.88 billion, topping analyst projections of $1.834 billion.
Robust Earnings and Revenue Growth
The strong financial performance in Q2 was driven by a 27% jump in commercial aerospace revenue, fueled by strong travel demand and an aging aircraft fleet. Howmet Aerospace CEO John Plant highlighted the "extremely high" backlog at aircraft original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as a key factor, noting that these manufacturers struggle to deliver jets consistently.
Defense aerospace revenue also increased by 11% for the quarter, while commercial transportation revenue saw a slight decline of 4%. In addition to Boeing, Howmet Aerospace supplies to RTX unit Pratt & Whitney and Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II.
Upgraded Outlook and Shareholder Returns
Reflecting its strong quarter, Howmet Aerospace ( NYSE:HWM ) has raised its 2024 adjusted earnings per share guidance to $2.53-$2.57 from the previous $2.31-$2.39. The company now expects 2024 revenue between $7.4 billion and $7.48 billion, up from the prior guidance of $7.225 billion to $7.375 billion.

Moreover, Howmet Aerospace ( NYSE:HWM ) increased the midpoint of its 2024 free cash flow guidance by $70 million, to $870 million. For Q3, the company anticipates EPS of 63-65 cents on revenue of $1.845 billion-$1.865 billion, ahead of analyst views of 60 cents EPS and $1.81 billion in sales.

CEO John Plant remains optimistic about the future, stating, "The outlook for commercial aerospace continues to be robust, with strong travel demand and an aging aircraft fleet, leading to an extremely high backlog at the aircraft OEMs." He acknowledged challenges in the consistent delivery of aircraft but emphasized that the company has raised guidance for all metrics due to the strong quarter.

Howmet Aerospace Holds a Lot of PotentialNYSE:HWM Howmet Aerospace holds a lot of potential. They manufacture components for jet engines, fasteners, and titanium structures for aerospace applications, and forge aluminum wheels for heavy trucks.
Aluminum products are an excellent choice to help achieve higher energy efficiencies due to their lighter weight. Just to give you an example, aluminum alloy wheels are 30% lighter than steel wheels.
Higher inflation wouldn't affect this company much. In fact, during their last earnings call, I believe they said that 95% of their costs can be passed onto their customers.
The financials have been great since the split from Arconic Inc., but of course, you need to wait for the fundamentals and the technicals to align before you make an entry.
I made my initial purchase the day of the earnings gap. Now that I have a cushion, I added more during the pullback. I believe this earnings gap pullback shows relative strength; it hasn't even come close to the breakout candle.
This stock is a market leader. It's already up 63% in the last 6 months. Hopefully, I can get a nice swing out of this one. What stocks are on your radar right now?
$HWM Earnings Gap StrengthThe earnings gap strength displayed in NYSE:HWM is very impressive. I expect this one to be a market leader.

The only thing about this price action is I would wish for a larger pullback. The entry here is above 13ema, despite the momentum.
Volume support is lower and starts around 41.30.
I'm going to take a small aggro position if we get a breakout, due to the overall ITA sector strength, but I would like to get a more conservative entry. I would like to enter between the 13 and 21 propulsion dots.
