- Friday, April 5, 4:58 PM Alcoa (AA) confirms EPA approval of a ~$243M cleanup plan for the Grasse River in northern New York, where Alcoa Reynolds Metals had discharged PCBs into the river. The plan requires dredging and capping of contaminated sediments in a 7.2 mile stretch of river. Comment! [Commodities]
- Monday, March 25, 6:45 PM An increasingly vocal campaign is arguing for a go-slow approach in allowing U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas. Industrial firms such as DOW, HUN and AA fear that exporting LNG could hurt the U.S. by driving up gas prices. But an XOM exec asks, "Why should the U.S. government discriminate between a... project to liquefy natural gas and a chemical plant to solidify it into plastic pellets? Both create investment, both create thousands of jobs." 16 Comments [Energy, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, March 11, 11:13 AM Kentucky state lawmakers are set to decide whether to let Century Aluminum (CENX -3.7%) buy power on the open market in its bid to save its money-losing smelter from closure. The bill could have implications for the U.S. aluminum industry, as high-cost electricity for aging plants has challenged producers to seek more efficient operations with aluminum prices dropping ~30% in two years. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, March 7, 10:30 AM Sumitomo raises its forecast for a global aluminum surplus to the highest level in two years, saying demand from China won’t be enough to absorb new capacity. Supply is projected to outpace demand by 866K metric tons this year from 760K tons in 2012; China alone will have a surplus of ~510K tons after years of smelting capacity expansion. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Thursday, January 17, 11:49 AM Alcoa Inc. (AA) declares $0.03/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 1.34%. For shareholders of record Mar. 15. Payable Apr. 01. Ex-div date Mar. 13. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Tuesday, January 8, 6:21 PM Alcoa (AA) announces that William F. Oplinger will become CFO effective April 1, succeeding Charles D. McLane, Jr. who plans to retire after a 40-year career with the company. Oplinger has been COO of Alcoa's Global Primary Products business unit since December 2011, and also serves on AA's Executive Council. 1 Comment [Commodities]
- Tuesday, January 8, 4:20 PM More on Alcoa's (AA) Q4 results: Says it ended 2012 in a strong liquidity position, with record results midstream and downstream. Sees global aluminum demand growth of 7% in 2013, up from 6% in 2012 and ahead of the 6.5% required to meet its forecast of a doubling in global aluminum demand between 2010-20. Shares +0.6% AH. 1 Comment [Commodities, Earnings]
- Tuesday, January 8, 4:06 PM Alcoa (AA): Q4 EPS of $0.06 in-line. Revenue of $5.9B beats by $0.29B. Shares +1.6% AH. (PR) 7 Comments [Earnings, On the Move]

- Monday, January 7, 5:35 PM Notable earnings after Tuesday’s close: AA, APOL Comment! [Earnings]
- Friday, January 4, 5:19 PM As is tradition, Alcoa (AA) kicks off earnings season next week, and a minor uptick in aluminum prices should help the Q4 bottom line after struggling to stay much above breakeven in recent quarters due to weak prices. But RBC Capital doesn't see improvement anytime soon in the aluminum market, which will continue to suffer from significant excess inventory and capacity. Comment! [Commodities]
- Wednesday, December 26, 2012, 6:48 PM Can artificial scarcity continue propping up the aluminum market in the face of a production glut? Barclays predicts stockpiles will grow to 8.67M metric tons by the end of 2013. But with about half of all inventories possibly tied up in financing deals, many buyers are having trouble procuring supply, and analysts polled by Bloomberg expect prices to rise 14% next year. The EC recently said it's discussing the issue of premiums caused by financing deals. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, December 24, 2012, 1:25 PM Mining companies plan to spend ~$24B during 2012-16 - including Vale's (VALE) $8B expansion of its Carajas mine - to boost production of iron ore, bauxite and other metals found in Brazil's Amazon rain forest. But environmental concerns aside, some investors bemoan the miners' bad timing, as prices of the metals have plunged from their heights on concerns about slowing growth in China. 1 Comment [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Thursday, December 20, 2012, 3:56 PM Alcoa (AA +0.4%) signs a long-term agreement with Siemens (SI) to supply blades and vanes for a range of industrial gas turbines; financial terms were not disclosed. AA parts will be used in, among others, the Siemens F-Class turbine which generates enough power to supply the energy needs of a city of 300K residents. 1 Comment [Energy]
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 4:23 PM Moody's places Alcoa's (AA) Baa3 senior unsecured and Prime-3 short-term rating under review for downgrade. The ratings agency says it does not see a material, sustainable improvement in aluminum prices over the next several quarters and expects AA's earnings performance and debt protection metrics to remain challenged. Shares -0.8% AH. Comment! [Commodities]

Ghosts of Kariela: Dividend plus using options to generate income can make it a decent holding even while the stock stagnates. Long term potential is huge. -
Ghosts of Kariela: Just buy closer to that 8$ support, and use options for income. Downside seems to be a bit limited.
