Alcoa posted sharp sequential declines in EBITDA and Net Income for 2Q2025, deepening the significant uncertainty surrounding potential increases in U.S. tariffs on aluminum imports. Valuation multiples are attractive and debt is manageable, yet my DCF model shows the stock is trading near fair value with limited upside at current prices. The biggest risk is the unresolved US trade policy, which could squeeze margins and trigger a global recession, hurting aluminum demand and prices.

In a market landscape marked by fluctuating commodity prices and geopolitical uncertainties, Alcoa Corporation‘s AA recent financial performance offers a glimpse into the evolving dynamics of the aluminum industry.

There is a lot of noise in the stock market, distracting investors from what really matters: the fundamentals. There is no use in trying to follow the sentiment and optimism when the S&P 500 index is trading near its all-time high levels, since this is typically where underlying drivers become more sensitive and vital, making it harder for portfolios to perform properly.

Alcoa's Q2 FY2025 results showed revenue beat, but significant EPS decline due to lower alumina prices and sharply higher U.S. Section 232 tariffs. The primary issue is the massive impact of U.S. tariffs, which are expected to surge from a $95 million cost in Q2 to $215 million in Q3. The doubling of Section 232 tariffs to 50% will likely cause margin leakage and demand disruptions, posing long-term threats to Alcoa's U.S. market share.

The stock had dipped near noon along with the broader market. The day’s trading has been dominated by reports that Donald Trump was looking to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. After Trump denied the reports stocks rebounded. Down 25% Year-to-Date 12:25 pm by Eric Bleeker Alcoa is down 25% year-to-date while other materials peers have performed relatively well. For example, Century Aluminum is up 8% year-to-date. Constellium SE is up 30%. That’s not to say that all materials stocks have done well, but Alcoa has also rebounded less from its decline that began during tariff rollouts than other comparable stocks.
