Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 50 days.
The thesis — published October 7, 2025
Alcoa looks set up for a rebound as it trims capacity and interest in the stock is improving. Lots more people are buying than usual, and the recent average price is rising. The company confirmed the permanent Kwinana closure, which brings one-time costs now but may help future profits. Many see the shares as priced below fair value. In a friendly market, careful entries could benefit over the next 3 months if metal prices stay firm.
Primary drivers
- Buying interest picked up more than usual, signaling improving demand
- Closing the Kwinana plant reduces supply, which can support aluminum prices
- Several views say the stock looks cheaper than its underlying value
- Overall market tone for metals has been favorable, helping related stocks
