Alcoa, Inc. (AA) Reports So So Earnings

Alcoa, Inc (AA) reported inline earnings expectations tonight depending on where your numbers were at for the quarter. Alcoa Inc stock ran up to about $12.50 in afterhours which is better then the $12.20 close. However, I view Aloca stock as potentially dead money over the next 3-6 months. By early April 2011, we could see Alcoa exactly where it is today.

Quarterly results were impacted by lower London Metal Exchange (LME) prices and negative currency impacts. These were partially offset by higher volumes in Alumina, Flat-Rolled Products, and Engineered Products and Solutions and the continued benefits from Alcoa’s Cash Sustainability Program.
