Howmet expects 2026 commercial transportation demand in Forged Wheels to remain low, although a modest recovery began in the second quarter and is expected to continue through the second half of 2026. The outlook is subject to volatile aluminum metal pricing and energy-related, economic, and regulatory uncertainty in North America. In Fastening Systems, modest commercial transportation recovery is likewise expected to continue in the second half of 2026.
