Stay the Course: Alcoa's 1Q Results Support the Overweight Aerospace Position in Our Best Ideas Portfolio
Alcoa kicked off first-quarter earnings season with a strong report. Not only did it report a nice earnings beat, but it raised its outlook for aerospace end market demand 3 percentage points, to as much as 14% growth during 2012. The aluminum giant's comments regarding the automotive sector weren't that shabby either.
