The stock had dipped near noon along with the broader market. The day’s trading has been dominated by reports that Donald Trump was looking to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. After Trump denied the reports stocks rebounded. Down 25% Year-to-Date 12:25 pm by Eric Bleeker Alcoa is down 25% year-to-date while other materials peers have performed relatively well. For example, Century Aluminum is up 8% year-to-date. Constellium SE is up 30%. That’s not to say that all materials stocks have done well, but Alcoa has also rebounded less from its decline that began during tariff rollouts than other comparable stocks. Alcoa (NYSE: AA) reports earnings after the bell. The company’s stock is down 25% year-to-date headed into earnings, so the question on investors’ minds is whether today’s report can turn the slide around. We’ll be updating this live article after Alcoa’s earnings hit the wires shortly after 4 p.m. ET, so leave this page open if you want continuing analysis. What Wall Street Expects from Alcoa Here are the key figures to watch when Alcoa reports tonight. Any immediate movement in the company’s share price will likely come from three key factors: 1.) the company’s EPS last quarter relative to expectations 2.) revenue relative to expectations and 3.) Updates provided for Alcoa’s full-year guidance. Second Quarter Wall Street Expectations Revenue: $2.95 billion EPS (Normalized): $.39 EPS (GAAP): $.31 Gross Margin: 2.1% Cash from Operations: $354.2 million Full Year Wall Street Expectations Revenue: $12.74 billion EPS (Normalized): $3.35 Key Storylines To Watch Alcoa’s Q2 earnings have a few key storylines to watch if you’re invested in the company. Tariff Impacts: Look for adjusted EBITDA to be impacted by the U.S. Section 232 tariffs, with a projected unfavorable performance in the Aluminum segment of approximately $105 million due to increased tariff costs and operating expenses associated with the San Ciprián smelter restart. Revenue guidance: Alcoa expects to maintain strong performance in the Alumina segment, while the Aluminum segment may see a decline due to tariff impacts. What forward guidance and commentary Alcoa provides on its conference call will have a large impact on where the stock trades after-hours. Margins: Once again, tariffs are front and center. Tariffs on Canadian aluminum imports will pressure profitability. This quarter will give additional insight into how Alcoa’s margins will be impacted by tariff uncertainty that can force companies to ‘eat’ unexpected costs.
