Management remarks
Call period: 2026 Q3 · 2026-10-15
Guidance: William Oplinger: We expect further tightening in the fourth quarter and into 2027, driven by announced curtailments and project delays and uncertainty in Indonesia around new supply additions.
Demand and orders: William Oplinger: Global aluminum inventories remain historically low at approximately 42 days of consumption, leaving the market with limited capacity to absorb further supply disruptions or stronger-than-expected demand.
Analyst Q&A
Analyst Carlos de Alba asked: So the first question that I have is on the guidance. So maybe flat alumina, it's a little bit surprising to us given what we believe has been higher spot prices in recent months. And I know there is some lagging effects there, but that was a little bit of a surprise to us. Maybe could you explain if there are any cost pressures that may be behind this offsetting some of the improved top line? Management Molly Beerman answered: So, Carlos, our guidance of flat refers just to our performance elements and not the market. If you look at our Alumina segment, there are a couple of puts and takes. We have some maintenance moving between regions, but that is completely covered by our improved shipment performance. So overall, the performance elements are net of nothing. So flat and consistent with the strong performance in the third quarter.
