Alcoa Q4 Earnings Preview: All Bets On An Aluminum Market Turnaround, Green Energy Transition
Portfolio Pulse from Surbhi Jain
Alcoa Corp (NYSE:AA) is set to release its Q4 earnings on Jan. 17 with expectations of a negative 78 cents EPS and $2.63 billion in revenue. The company, a leader in aluminum production, may benefit from increased aluminum consumption in the green energy sector, potentially leading to a market deficit. Analysts are focusing on Alcoa's ability to navigate demand fluctuations and its alignment with market supply-demand dynamics. The material sector, including Alcoa, is highlighted by Fidelity as one of the top sectors for 2024. However, Alcoa's stock price may not see much upside according to recent analyst ratings, with a consensus price target of $43.16 and current trading at $29.55.
