Alcoa’s Q2 results were negatively impacted by a decline in aluminum prices over the course of the last twelve months, with the company’s productivity improvement initiatives partially offsetting the impact of weak pricing on earnings. The decline in aluminum prices and the curtailment or permanent closure of high-cost upstream production capacity also translated into a decline in the company’s revenue.
