Once the recesession is over and the economy gets back on its feet, this will be one of the companies that you will want to own.

Just recently exceeded expectations and price should increase as supplies of Aluminum decrease.

After posting 3 consecutive quarters of operating losses that totaled over $2.3 billion, AA finally earned $98 million in operating income for the 3rd quarter of 2009. Alcoa generated $4.6 billion in revenue for the 3rd quarter of 2009. Alcoa generated nearly $7 billion in revenue for the 3rd quarter of 2008. Worldwide aluminum inventories are depleted and Alcoa will have a significant role in resupplying those depleted worldwide inventories. Revenue for Alcoa should return to the $5-7 billion level as demand from the Chinese auto industry increases. Alcoa’s gross profit margin was 15.75% for the 3rd quarter of 2009, while AA posted a gross profit margin of 18.97% for the 3rd quarter of 2008. The bottom line is that an extra 1 or 2 billion in revenue helps cover fixed plant, property and equipment costs. AA should outperform the S&P 500 with increased operating income.

AA is no place to go but higher. This is a solid company.

aluminum is a main economic component. As the supply is diminished and with rising demand, the price will only go up, and so will alcoa.

Super-competitive manufacturing powerhouse with huge R&D budget ... this should be a 3M-style defensive play that will rake in profits in time to come!
Recs
Upthumb. Negative cash flow. Low 5 year growth rate. Ok quick ratio and debt ratio. Idling production resources until demand recovers. They'll make it. Very high short base.

Long time stable blue chip.. should be able to stay afloat.. commodities price increasing
Recs
I dunno... I thought Alcoa made dog food?
Recs
A much needed commodity that will ultimately increase in demand as manufacturing picks up. Patience coupled with building portfolio over time will likely pay off big.
Recs
Another solid company making a comeback from depressed price from over active negative marketplace.
Recs
Will prosper with economic recovery and when we replace things build as apart of the New Deal that should have been replaced by now
Recs
Two of our suppliers are telling us that lead times have doubled on extruded and milled Aluminum over the past 10 weeks, which may be an early indicator of a supply shortage.
Recs
Demand for commodities is starting to pick up. Alcoa will benefit from the cost cutting it has done over the past year.
