Event summary
JPMorgan upgraded Alcoa (NYSE:AA) from Underweight to Neutral and raised its price target to $68.00 due to a 12% rally in aluminum prices following a conflict in Iran, which sparked supply risk concerns. Despite the upgrade, the firm noted downside risks include elevated energy costs, pressured alumina pricing, potential demand destruction, and macro-economic downturn. Alcoa has also announced a cash dividend, plans to sell curtailed sites, and appointed a new EVP and Chief External Affairs Officer.
