The company has a dull earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in only two of the preceding four quarters, while missing in the other two. The average miss was 201.6%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Alcoa this earnings season.
Alcoa’s second-quarter performance is likely to have been hurt by lower shipments of alumina and aluminum. Reduced refinery production is expected to have weighed on alumina shipments.
An anticipated weakness in shipments due to lower trading activities and weak volumes from the Canadian smelters is likely to have hurt Aluminum segment’s third-party sales. Higher prices of aluminum and lower raw material and production costs might have partly offset the adversity.
While alumina shipments are likely to reflect softness, higher average realized prices and strong volumes are expected to have driven the segment’s third-party sales. Lower raw material and energy costs are also expected to have aided the unit’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
