$AA "Alcoa Corp (AA) shares fell significantly today, dropping 5.12% to reach
$56.88 by late morning on February 17, 2026. Earlier in the session, the stock hit an intraday low of
$55.04, a sharp decline of roughly 8% from its previous close of
$59.95. Major steel and aluminum producers, including Alcoa, saw their stock prices slide following reports of a potential rollback in U.S. metal tariffs. Investors fear that reducing these taxes on imports will lead to increased foreign competition and lower domestic prices. Although Alcoa beat Q4 2025 earnings estimates, management provided cautious guidance for early 2026, citing near-term pressure on earnings and free cash flow. In recent weeks, firms like Morgan Stanley have downgraded the stock to "Equal Weight," suggesting a more balanced risk-reward profile following a period of outperformance." AI I'm HOLDING
