    ATI Back in the Black, Fueled by Post-Strike Aerospace Recovery

    Written by David Schollaert

    Allegheny Technologies Inc. (ATI) reported profitability for the first time since Q1 2020, three months ahead of schedule, company executives said on Thursday’s earnings call. The third-quarter net income of $48.7 million – up 35% against second-quarter results – was fueled by an improving aerospace market and a post-strike accelerated recovery.

    ATI said that production at its hot rolling and processing facility (HRPF) in Brackenridge, Pa., surpassed forecasts as strike recovery efforts sped up in September.
