Alcoa Corporation, represented by the ticker symbol AA-N, has recently come under scrutiny due to its connections with the materials sector, particularly linked to demand from China. The sentiment expressed by various experts indicates a strong aversion towards investing in materials stocks that are heavily influenced by Chinese economic conditions. This hesitance stems from ongoing uncertainties regarding China's economic recovery and trade relations, which have left many investors wary. As a result, there is a general consensus that stocks like Alcoa may face challenges in achieving robust performance in the near future. Investors are advised to carefully consider these factors before making decisions related to Alcoa shares, as the current market sentiment is notably pessimistic.

COMMENT

The question was on Aluminum companies. He considers Alcoa the obvious one to consider. The stock is cheap but earnings are declining. The FMV is over 55% higher than where it is today.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This integrated producer of aluminum and the world's largest miner of bauxite is a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings support a 30% ROE and cash reserves are growing, while the company buys back shares and retires debt. It trades at 10x earnings compared to peers at 21x and is valued at 1.5x book. We recommend placing a stop loss at $31, looking to achieve $60 -- upside of 25%. Yield 0.8% (Analysts’ price target is $78.64)

PARTIAL SELL
Are benefitting from high aluminum prices, driven by the Russian war. Lots of ups and downs. Take profits or exit, if you own. Eventually, shares and aluminum prices will decline.

DON'T BUY
Inflation will be transitory. Alcoa is hitting 2018 resistance, and won't move much past $62.
non-base metal mining
DON'T BUY
Minerals have had a huge run. How sustainable is this underlying demand? He thinks there will be a pullback, as with BHP. Don't buy something top of market. If you've made money, take some off the table. At these levels, stay away.

BUY
Continue to own this into earnings.

COMMENT
They report Thursday. They reported a great quarter last time. However, many cyclicals have peaked. Aluminum goes into everything, and the rising cost has squeezed gross margins of a lot of the buyers.
non-base metal mining
HOLD
Would hold but not buy more. Aluminum names might top base metals. So important in light weighting vehicles. EV is also a tailwind. There is consumer product demand too which is cyclical. Diversify in the base metal space.
non-base metal mining
SELL
He thinks will rollover. It's been far too high up along with other commodity stocks.
non-base metal mining
BUY
They're not getting credit for delivering a great quarter. This is not the Alcoa of old.
non-base metal mining
DON'T BUY
Sold this over a year ago. It has gotten ahead of themselves. There are better values in less cyclical businesses that will have long term earnings growth. It is exposed to commodity prices. It is probably too late and the rebound has already happened.
