🔼 Return to Profitability. Alcoa's financial report for Q2 2024 demonstrated positive trends in the company. Revenue increased by 8.3% y/y, reaching $2.9 bln. Adjusted net profit amounted to $30 mln ($0.16 per share) compared to a loss of $145 mln ($0.81 per share) in the same period year ago. Both figures exceeded market expectations.
