Company & revenue

About Alcoa Corporation

Primary reporting period: 2025-12-31 · Research updated Oct 12, 2026. A research update is not a new financial filing.

Who they are

Alcoa Corporation operates an integrated upstream aluminum business with bauxite mining, alumina refining, and aluminum smelting and casting. Its FY2025 Form 10-K reports two segments: Alumina and Aluminum, rather than three separate reportable segments. Alumina includes bauxite mining and refining, while Aluminum includes smelting, casting and most energy production assets.

How they make money

Alcoa sells bauxite, smelter-grade and non-metallurgical alumina, and primary aluminum products including ingot, billet, rod and slab. The Alumina segment also supplies its own smelters; the Aluminum segment sells metal mainly to external customers and traders. Revenue and margins are sensitive to aluminum and alumina benchmark prices, input costs, energy and currency movements.

Products & services

Alcoa mines bauxite, refines it into alumina, and smelts and casts aluminum. Bauxite supplies its own refineries and outside customers; alumina is an input for aluminum production. The FY2025 reporting segments are Alumina and Aluminum, not three separate product segments.

Brands & revenue mix

Sustana

Alcoa’s primary umbrella brand for low-carbon and recycled aluminum solutions, covering its most advanced sustainable products.

Separate brand revenue is not available in this research.Source

EcoLum

Part of the Sustana line; low-carbon primary aluminum produced with less than 4.0 metric tons of CO2e per ton of metal.

Separate brand revenue is not available in this research.Source

EcoSource

Part of the Sustana line; the world’s first low-carbon alumina brand, focusing on reduced emissions intensity during refining.

Separate brand revenue is not available in this research.Source

EcoDura

Part of the Sustana line; aluminum products containing at least 50% recycled content.

Separate brand revenue is not available in this research.Source

Revenue share is not unit sales or a best-seller ranking. Parent brands and included sub-brands can overlap; do not add overlapping rows.

Product / operating segments

No reconciled product or operating-segment revenue breakdown is available for the current research period. Company-wide revenue remains separate from segment disclosure.

Geographic revenue

No reconciled geographic revenue breakdown was confirmed for the current research period.

Customer types

Customer categories were not separately identified in the reviewed source set.

Disclosed major customers

  • Aluminum Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba)Source

Customer concentration

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, Alcoa reported that its aluminum products are sold to a variety of external customers and traders, with no single customer publicly disclosed as exceeding the 10% revenue threshold in its primary financial filings. Approximately 28% of group revenue in 2024-2025 was derived from third-party alumina sales to other smelters and refineries.

Business relationships & partnerships

  • ELYSIS — A technology partnership with Rio Tinto to advance carbon-free aluminum smelting technology, with the first industrial-scale demonstration planned for production by 2027.Source
  • IGNIS Equity Holdings, SL — A joint venture partnership to support the continued operation and strategic restructuring of the San Ciprián aluminum complex in Spain.Source
  • Statkraft — Long-term electricity supply agreements to provide renewable energy to Alcoa’s Lista aluminum plant in Norway.Source
  • Woodside Energy — A domestic gas supply agreement for Alcoa's Western Australian operations for the period 2027 to 2030.Source

Strengths

  • Integrated supply chain — Research interpretation: mining, refining and smelting capabilities provide control across multiple stages of the aluminum value chain; this does not eliminate commodity risk.Source

Risks

  • Commodity and energy exposure — Research interpretation: aluminum and alumina prices, power costs and currency changes can cause material volatility in operating results.Source

Questions worth answering for AA

Research inputs 100% complete

These questions are generated from this company's current financial and score data so the page adds context instead of treating the headline score as a stand-alone conclusion.

  • •Can AA maintain its current revenue growth rate and improve the amount of that revenue that turns into earnings and cash?
  • •Is AA's positive free cash flow repeatable, or is the current level being helped by temporary working-capital or spending changes?
  • •Does AA's balance between cash and debt leave enough flexibility if business conditions weaken?

Momentum & Volatility Signals

Two different market-behavior signals. Momentum measures direction and trend strength. Volatility measures how large and unstable the price moves are, regardless of direction.

Momentum = Where is it going?

A high momentum score means price has been trending upward with confirming short- and medium-term strength. A low score means downward or weakening momentum.

Volatility = How violently is it moving?

A high volatility score means larger, less stable price swings. It can happen while a stock is rising or falling, so high volatility is not automatically bullish or bearish.

Important: the volatility score above is based on realized price volatility. Implied volatility (IV) comes from options prices and represents the market's expected future movement. Wall Street Score will keep IV separate and will only display it when a verified options-chain feed is available.
