The analyst stated, “We were wrong on CENX as its cost cutting initiatives.” The analyst continued to state that the price of aluminum was better than they had expected and contributed to the jump in CENX's stock price. In addition, the analyst is raising 2014, 2015, and normalized earnings per share estimate to $0.32, $1.00 and $1.50, from (0.02), $0.45 and $0.75, respectively.
