What Alcoa's Results Mean to Paccar, Cummins and Ingersoll-Rand

Alcoa's  results and guidance always serve as a useful indicator for what sectors of the industrial economy are going to do well in the coming quarters. With regard to its latest results, the upgrade to its full-year end demand for the North American heavy truck and trailer market is obviously good news for truck maker Paccar   and engine manufacturer Cummins. In addition, Alcoa gave a positive outlook for the U.S. construction market; this should interest shareholders in Ingersoll-Rand. Despite the recent market sell-off, there is some good news out there.
