Constellium NV (NYSE:CSTM) is based in Netherlands and specializes in the design and manufacturing of specialty aluminum products for the aerospace, packaging, and automotive industries. Following a lengthy decline, which started in June 2014, the stock seems to have found a solid bottom at the $5 level and has been wobbling around it for the most part of 2016. Shares are currently trading at $5.10 per unit, down by 33% since the start of the year. Constellium has recently appointed Jean-Marc Germain, who briefly acted as Executive Director, as Chief Executive Officer, replacing Pierre Vareille, who announced his retirement earlier this year. “Thanks to its talented people, strategic assets and leading technology, Constellium is well positioned to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities for growth and innovation in the aluminium industry. I look forward to continuing to shape a successful future for Constellium,” commented Jean-Marc Germain.

At the end of March, roughly 35% of Constellium NV (NYSE:CSTM) common stock was held by 30 elite hedge funds, up from 28 registered at the end of December. Phill Gross and Robert Atchinson‘s Adage Capital Management held the largest stake among the fund tracked by Insider Monkey: 9.65 million shares, down by 6% during the quarter. Brian Taylor‘s Pine River Capital Management also held a sizable stake in the company, having amassed 2.75 million shares by the end of March, up by 20% over the quarter.
