Aloca Earnings Analysis

Alcoa's  earnings are always interesting because the company gives great guidance on the industrial economy. In addition, the earnings come at the start of the new earnings seasons, and they give Fools the chance to confirm whether Alcoa's commentary matches what their companies have been saying recently. In this regard, shareholders in Cummins, Johnson Controls, and Caterpillar  should follow closely, Alcoa's management had a lot of interesting things to say.
