Alcoa Reorganizes as Trump Tariffs Fail to Shield U.S. Producers
(Bloomberg) -- Alcoa Corp. is shrinking its executive team as slowing global growth sent shares of the largest U.S. aluminum producer tumbling by half in the past year despite tariffs aimed at protecting the domestic industry.Chief Executive Officer Roy Harvey will have seven people directly reporting to him when the changes take effect Nov. 1, from 12 currently, the Pittsburgh-based company said Monday in a statement. Alcoa will eliminate its business-unit structure and consolidate sales, procurement and other commercial functions.Alcoa will implement its second reorganization since its split in late 2016 as the company seeks to reduce its overhead after lower aluminum prices shaved its second-quarter earnings. The metal producer cut its outlook for demand in July, citing trade tensions.“In light of commodities under pressure you’re seeing a slew of announcements to cut costs, and that’s what Alcoa is doing,” Timna Tanners, an analyst at Bank of America Corp., said in a telephone interview. “The reason they’re doing this now is because commodity conditions are challenging.”Aluminum prices have plunged 13% in the past year, while premiums paid by buyers in the U.S. Midwest fell 14% even though the Trump administration imposed tariffs in 2018 on imports of the metal and steel.Alcoa shares rose 6.2% at the close in New York, trimming losses in the past year to 50%.Andrew Cosgrove, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said Alcoa may not be able to cut much more fat from its operations. Alcoa’s general expenses as a percentage of sales were at 1.9% last year, 2.4% in 2017 and 3.9% in 2016, he said in an email. “How much can they trim from that?” he said.Earlier this year, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said China’s huge subsidies for its aluminum makers continued to fuel excess plant capacity. Like other large aluminum producers, Alcoa has a large global footprint, generating only 44% of its revenue in the U.S.Alcoa is already a vastly different company than it was in 2016, when it split from the jet- and car-parts business in a major reorganization. The company’s structure was further refined in 2017, when Alcoa merged the aluminum smelting, cast and rolled products and most of the energy segment into its aluminum unit to reduce costs and complexity.The resulting units from that reorganization -- aluminum, bauxite and alumina -- will now be under the supervision of the smaller executive group, though the company will continue to report financial results for each of the segments separately. The new model means the presidents of alumina, Michael Parker, and bauxite, Garret Dixon, will leave after helping with the transition.The moves announced Monday will result in restructuring charges, which Alcoa expects to report at the end of the third quarter. The restructuring should be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2020.\--With assistance from Liezel Hill.To contact the reporters on this story: Steven Frank in Toronto at sfrank9@bloomberg.net;Joe Deaux in New York at jdeaux@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Luzi Ann Javier at ljavier@bloomberg.net, Joe RichterFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

3 Infrastructure Stocks to Ground Your Trading
Do headlines of a slowing global economy or raised trade war threats have your attention? It may be time to look at the price charts of infrastructure stocks U.S. Steel (NYSE:X), Alcoa (NYSE:AA) and Cemex (NYSE:CX) to build long-term profits shorting and buying X stock, AA and shares of CX in your portfolio. Let me explain.Are you mulling why the Federal Reserve cut rates for the first time in over a decade? Or does the latest news of an additional 10% tariff on $300 billion in Chinese goods by the U.S. government have you worried? Well, you're not alone.These macroeconomic and geopolitical environment have Wall Street's undivided attention, while earnings season has quickly been shown the exit. But in order to profit from today's headlines, you have to look at the big picture. And that's where X stock, AA and CX come in.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 8 of the Most Shorted Stocks in the Markets Right Now Along with large-cap tech stocks such as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) or an industrial play like Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), infrastructure stocks are obviously a group worth watching. And within this market area X, AA stock and shares of CX are companies to put on the radar for selling and buying based on what their price charts and not today's headlines are telling us. Infrastructure Stocks: U.S. Steel (X)U.S. Steel is the first of our three infrastructure stocks. The provided weekly chart shows X stock has formed a bearish flag beneath lateral resistance dating back to the financial crisis. Even U.S. Steel's better-than-expected earnings report hasn't been able to put a bid in this one!That's not the only bearish evidence in X stock either. Today's pattern is the second time where shares have fallen below support. Coupled with a failed uptrend attempt in 2018, this second attempt at breaking through this critical area looks all the more ominous. The X Stock Trade Short this infrastructure stock now and look for an eventual move towards the 2016 low. To keep losses contained and prevent fighting a bearish trend, I'd recommend a stop-loss slightly above the pattern high. Alcoa (AA)Alcoa is the next of our infrastructure stocks to put on your radar. However, I'm watching AA stock for a purchase. The monthly chart in AA stock does a good job of displaying a large broadening pattern that has developed over the past decade. Shares of Alcoa are near support and that's bullish.The formation isn't perfect, but life rarely is either. More importantly, I see the spirit of this corrective base as being intact. And with a bullishly diverging stochastics setup, a bottom should be closer, rather than farther away. The AA Stock TradeShould a confirmed candlestick low in this infrastructure stock form in the coming weeks, AA stock offers plenty of upside and bang for the buck. * 7 A-Rated Stocks Under $10 Based on the most recent pattern highs and angular resistance, a long in Alcoa could see $65 to $70 over the next 12 to 18 months. Cemex (CX)You'll have to be the judge of whether I left the best infrastructure stock for last. Mexico-based Cemex never quite recovered from last decade's financial crisis. And conditions could get a great deal worse for CX stock.Now, as a victim of slowing global growth and trade wars, CX stock has broken neckline support on its monthly chart. And with shares trading at $3.25 it's hard not to see this bearish pattern as possibly being the final straw for shares of CEMEX. The CX Stock TradeMy recommendation on CX stock is to gain short exposure today. I'd personally suggest a longer-term option such as the January 2021 $3 put. Priced for 55 cents, this bearish contract greatly reduces and limits risk in the event of an adverse pattern failure. And optimistically, if we're right this could be a near five-bagger.Investment accounts under Christopher Tyler's management do not currently own positions in securities mentioned in this article.

Plant declined to identify which of the two new companies he would lead. “The important thing is to make sure that we had continuity through the separation,” Plant said. Elmer Doty, current president and COO of Arconic, will step down when the companies split, but remain on one of the boards of directors. Howmet Aerospace Inc. will include engine components, fastening systems, engineered structures and forged aluminum wheels.
