Alcoa Corp (AA) reported third-quarter net income of $483 million on revenue of $3.7 billion, driven by a 15,000-metric-ton sequential increase in aluminum production and the restart of the Alumar smelter. The company also agreed to sell part of its Massena East site for up to $315 million in cash.
The production gain and asset sale follow a $2.6 billion debt financing completed earlier in the quarter. Alcoa said the moves are part of a broader strategy to improve cash flow and reduce leverage. The company operates across bauxite mining, alumina refining, and aluminum smelting in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Spain, and the U.S.
Alcoa carries an Alpha Score of 71 out of 100, labeled Moderate, reflecting a balanced risk-reward profile in the Basic Materials sector. The score is based on the company's financial strength, valuation, and momentum relative to its industry peers.
The Massena East sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter, subject to standard closing conditions.
