Reported an earnings beat in its Q4. Earnings of 4 cents per share on revenues of $5.25 billion topped the 3 cents per share and $5.2 billion, respectively. This marks Alcoa's first earnings beat in the last 3 quarters.But this was huge:
A bigger development for down the road, however, is Alcoa's decision to split into 2 separate companies: Alcoa, which will continue to deal in the raw materials side of the business; and an as-yet unnamed company that will take over the Aerospace and Automotive side. This business would include the $9 billion in airline contract orders announced by CEO Klaus Kleinfeld. The split is expected sometime in the second half of calendar 2016.Zacks says "4 cents is a beat" but in fact that's what was posted over the weekend: analysts forecast 4 cents. I would say Alcoa met expectations. Which is a whole better than missing. LOL.
Tomorrow, I will be interested in:
- CSX: after market close, analysts forecast a profit of 46 cents
