Century Aluminum shares closed up 1.98% at $33.47 on volume of about 3.08 million, despite two potentially bearish news items. The company filed an automatic shelf registration (Form S-3ASR) covering several types of securities for future sale, though no pricing or terms were set, raising the possibility of future dilution. Separately, UBS trimmed its price target to $50 from $55 while maintaining a Buy rating. The stock's gain suggests the market largely looked past the dilution overhang and the lower target, but the shelf filing could cap upside if an offering is announced.
