Alcoa (AA-N), a key player in the materials sector, is currently facing significant challenges, primarily influenced by its exposure to China. Experts indicate that sentiment towards material stocks is bearish, particularly due to geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties related to China, which has led to a cautious outlook among investors. The reluctance to invest in such stocks is evident, as there are concerns regarding demand and supply dynamics, especially as they pertain to the global economy. As a result, Alcoa's performance may be negatively impacted, with analysts urging caution for those looking to enter this sector at the moment. This backdrop suggests a challenging environment for Alcoa moving forward, necessitating a reassessment of the stock's potential for growth amid these external pressures.

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.
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.
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.
SELL
He thinks will rollover. It's been far too high up along with other commodity stocks.
BUY
They're not getting credit for delivering a great quarter. This is not the Alcoa of old.
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.
