While volumes faltered, pricing dynamics worked decisively in Kaiser’s favour. At the end of December 2025, the global aluminium prices on London Metal Exchange reached USD 2,968 per tonne, potentially up by 13.6 per cent than the early September level. This strong aluminium prices translated into Kaiser’s positive net sales of USD 929 million in Q4, up from USD 765 million Y-o-Y.
