Shares of Alcoa Corp. (AA) are sliding 13 percent on Thursday's trading continuing their downward movement since Wednesday.
The stock was negatively impacted by second-quarter revenues falling below the Street estimates. Revenues for the quarter rose to $3.29 billion from $2.87 billion a year ago. Analysts had a consensus revenue estimate of $3.45 billion.
The aluminum producer said that sales slumped as prolonged supply-chain disruptions curbed shipments.
The company's first-quarter profit soared to $469 million or $2.49 per share from $175 million or $0.93 per share last year.
Currently at $75.39, the stock has traded between $31.00 and $98.09 during the past 52 weeks.
