The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AA’s second-quarter earnings has been revised downward by 10.9% in the past 60 days. However, the company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the preceding four quarters.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for Alcoa this earnings season.
Alcoa’s second-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from higher shipments and pricing in the Aluminum segment. Increased shipments for value-add products are likely to have driven total shipments in the segment. Higher shipments and pricing are expected to get reflected in Aluminum segment revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Aluminum segment’s total sales (third-party sales + intersegment sales) for the second quarter indicates a 20.6% jump from the year-ago reported quarter’s figure.
Strong third-party pricing and higher shipments are likely to have aided the Alumina segment’s performance as well. The consensus mark for Alumina segment total sales (third-party sales + intersegment sales) suggests a 41.5% surge from the second-quarter 2021 reported number.
However, increased raw material and energy costs are likely to have hurt Alcoa’s bottom line in the second quarter. Persistent supply chain disruptions might have also impacted the company’s performance.
