Alcoa Corp (NYSE: AA) is an aluminum and alumina producer that mines bauxite, refines it into alumina, and smelts alumina into aluminum metal. Revenue comes from selling alumina and aluminum to customers in the packaging, automotive, aerospace, and construction end markets on a transactional basis, with realized prices tied closely to the London Metal Exchange aluminum price and the alumina index. Alcoa operates across three reported segments: Bauxite, Alumina, and Aluminum, giving it an integrated position across the full upstream value chain. The company was incorporated in 2016 as a spinoff from Arconic and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Capital intensity is high, as the business requires significant energy inputs and long-lived smelting and refining assets. Alcoa competes with Rio Tinto, Norsk Hydro, and Rusal, among other global primary aluminum and alumina producers.
