The stock moved +6.5% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with Constellium’s completion of the €30 million Singen investment, adding specialized foilstock capacity for European battery markets and on-site solar generation of about 760,000 kWh annually. With shares trading above the 200-day MA and near the 52-week high, investors previously rewarded this project, but past divergence on other positive news suggests that sentiment can shift quickly if execution, demand, or macro conditions weaken.
