Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

It's Alcoa: they are not going out of business. They are losing money now, but that should not be a surprise with what happened to the auto industry and to the economy in general. At the end of the first quarter, they still had a Tangible net worth of 7.5B, with cash of over 1B. They are sitting aro...More

High cost production facilities in the upper quartile for the industry. burdened by marginally profitable and unprofitable downstream operations. Management mentality is too bureaucratic and established.

Once the recesession is over and the economy gets back on its feet, this will be one of the companies that you will want to own.

After posting 3 consecutive quarters of operating losses that totaled over $2.3 billion, AA finally earned $98 million in operating income for the 3rd quarter of 2009. Alcoa generated $4.6 billion in revenue for the 3rd quarter of 2009. Alcoa generated nearly $7 billion in revenue for the 3rd quarter of 2008. Worldwide aluminum inventories are depleted and Alcoa will have a significant role in resupplying those depleted worldwide inventories. Revenue for Alcoa should return to the $5-7 billion level as demand from the Chinese auto industry increases. Alcoa’s gross profit margin was 15.75% for the 3rd quarter of 2009, while AA posted a gross profit margin of 18.97% for the 3rd quarter of 2008. The bottom line is that an extra 1 or 2 billion in revenue helps cover fixed plant, property and equipment costs. AA should outperform the S&P 500 with increased operating income.
