Century Alum Co reported a strong EPS figure, significantly beating expectations, but the stock fell nearly 7% in response. Investors may be concerned about the lack of revenue data and future guidance, which could indicate uncertainty about the company's performance going forward. The stock reaction suggests that while the EPS beat is positive, it wasn't enough to offset concerns about overall revenue and future outlook.
