Analysts: Alcoa's Earnings Outlook Boosted by Market Disruptions

Deep News03-31

According to Jefferies analyst Christopher LaFemina, Alcoa's earnings could see meaningful upward revisions as aluminum supply disruptions in the Middle East drive metal prices to a four-year high. LaFemina stated, "Furthermore, given the significant challenges in shipping alumina through the Strait of Hormuz, additional supply shocks for aluminum could lead to a sharp price surge." He noted that as one of the world's largest aluminum producers, Alcoa stands as the biggest beneficiary among the companies he covers. However, he added that the company's stock is not immune to recession risks, and operating costs may rise due to increasing energy prices. Shares of Alcoa fell 1.4% to A$92.07 in Sydney, giving back some of Monday's 8.6% gain.
