    JUSTIFIEDCONFIDENCE5/5

    KALU is down 20.7% after reporting adjusted EPS of $1.89 versus a $2.36 estimate, while sales were merely in line. The nearly 20% earnings miss is a concrete, material catalyst that explains the sharp selloff despite year-over-year earnings growth.

    WHYDown 20.7% is large, but broadly in line with a nearly 20% adjusted-EPS miss and no sales beat.
