Alcoa swings to profit, but revenue misses
2015-04-09 00:09:05| Industrial Machines - Topix.net
Alcoa Inc. swung to first-quarter profit on revenue growth that mostly stemmed from strong volume in its divisions that make parts for the automotive and aerospace markets and a boost from stronger aluminum prices. Alcoa's earnings report unofficially marks the start of the first-quarter earnings reporting season, one that is expected to be weak as many U.S. companies get hit by effects from lower oil prices, imports and a stronger U.S. dollar.
