Kaiser Aluminum Announces $75 Million Stock Repurchase Plan and a 33 Percent Increase in Quarterly Dividend

Kaiser Aluminum (NASDAQ:KALU), a leading producer of fabricated aluminum products, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $75 million in the company’s common stock.

The Board also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share on the company’s outstanding stock, which represents a 33 percent increase over the prior quarter's dividend. This dividend will be payable on August 15, 2008 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 25, 2008.

“While we continue to aggressively pursue initiatives for the long-term growth of the company, we are pleased that our shareholders will also be able to participate in the company’s profits through increased cash dividends as well as any share repurchases under the plan approved by our Board,” said Jack A. Hockema, chairman, president and CEO of Kaiser Aluminum. “The Board’s decision to authorize these initiatives underscores our confidence in the company’s financial strength and prospects for the future.” Repurchase transactions will occur at such times and prices as management deems appropriate and will be funded with the company's excess liquidity after giving consideration to internal and external growth opportunities and future cash flows. Repurchases will not commence until after July 6, 2008, and it is expected that the authorization will be utilized over approximately 18 months, subject to market conditions. Repurchases may be in open-market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions and the program may be modified, extended or terminated by the board of directors at any time.

“Our $244 million organic growth program provides additional capacity to address growing demand for aerospace and high strength plate products and will leverage new efficiencies in several of our value streams,” added Hockema. “Our strong financial position allows us to create long-term shareholder value through organic initiatives and acquisitions while also rewarding our shareholders with increased dividends and share repurchases.” Kaiser Aluminum, headquartered in Foothill Ranch, Calif., is a leading producer of fabricated aluminum products, serving customers worldwide with highly-engineered solutions for aerospace and high-strength, general engineering, and custom automotive and industrial applications.

KALU...These guys were probably scratching their heads as to why the stock was so cheap...(like we were doing recently). I see no reason for the price per share disconnect at the moment. Seems to me that the street punished KALU for making too much on their FX hedging and derivatives activity.

Re: #109: @OptionMonster - BA's earnings report may help KALU today..They supply

OM,

Kaiser currently has a descending triangle pattern. A descending triangle has a flat lower line (66.68)and a falling upper trendline, and is considered to be bearish. The resolution of this pattern will take place when the pattern is broken decisively. A pickup of volume is important, especially if the breakout is to the upside as you expect. If this happens, the target would be the vertical height at the triangle's widest part (on the left) and project that distance from the point where the breakout actually occurs on the falling upper trendline.
