AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Alcoa (AA)

Alcoa Q3 2026 net income rises to $483 million; revenue falls 7% from prior quarter

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Alcoa reported third quarter 2026 results on October 15, 2026, with net income attributable to Alcoa of $483 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, up from $407 million in the second quarter. Revenue fell 7% sequentially to $3.7 billion, and adjusted EBITDA excluding special items declined to $789 million from $901 million, so shareholders see higher reported profit alongside weaker sequential operating measures. The company also reaffirmed its 2026 production and shipment projections and said it closes the AliGroup acquisition in the first half of 2027.
