There's nothing more than reports and rumors right now, but watch to see if management addresses these reports over the weekend -- that could give them credence, or leave them in the unconfirmed rumor mill. Now what Buying on a rumor is risky, and that's what will keep me out of the stock today. But Constellium is in a good market serving aerospace customers, and with shares trading at about 10 times forward estimates there could be value for buyers. But don't be surprised if the stock falls if management says they aren't considering an offer, because all that's driving the stock higher today is rumors. 10 stocks we like better than Constellium HoldcoWhen investing geniuses David and Tom Gardner have a stock tip, it can pay to listen.
