Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

Alcoa's performance has been under scrutiny as aluminum prices have declined for three consecutive weeks, raising concerns about the company's fundamentals. The overall sentiment in the market is leaning towards skepticism, particularly as Alcoa is categorized as a material stock closely tied to China's economic activities. Given the current geopolitical and economic climate, investors appear reluctant to engage with stocks in this sector, leading to a bearish outlook for Alcoa. The consensus from various experts indicates a cautious approach, highlighting the challenges faced by the aluminum industry and the potential repercussions on Alcoa's financial health. As such, attention should be paid to broader economic indicators and sector performance as they could further influence Alcoa's market position.

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.
