Dow Jones10-30

0414 GMT - Aluminum Corp. of China's shares are likely to be weighed by some profit taking in the short term following its disappointing earnings, Citi Research analysts write in a report. Net profit for January-September period fell short of Citi's estimates by 31%. The 3Q gross profit also fell sequentially. However, Citi retains a buy rating on the stock, noting bright spots in the sequential rise in aluminum production and sales in the third quarter, and its strong free cash flow. Citi trims its target price for the company's H shares to HK$8.89 from HK$9.09 after revising down its 2024 earnings forecast by 12%. (kimberley.kao@wsj.com)
