Hi Mitch,
This week Alcoa (AA US) reported results for the second quarter 2024 that demonstrated sequential increases in revenue and earnings on higher alumina and aluminium prices, along with continued progress on profitability improvement programs – in other words, all was good.
- Revenue increased 12% sequentially to $US2.9 billion, though the numbers had largely been pre-released, so the stock was only mildly higher on the news.
Overall, a solid result by Alcoa (AA US) and we like the stock ~$US37 but like most metals at the moment Alumina is in the “naughty corner” and we can see further downside short-term.
