Alcoa Corporation (ISIN US0138171014) traded at USD 44.37 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, while Freedom Broker raised its price target from USD 64 to USD 76 and kept a Buy rating, according to Investing.com on September 22, 2026.

Target rises while earnings lag

The revised target is USD 12 above the earlier USD 64 level, a 18.75 percent increase. The comparison matters because the stock price of USD 44.37 remains USD 31.63 below the new target, although the target reflects an analyst view rather than a guaranteed outcome.

Alcoa's latest reported quarter delivered USD 2.12 in earnings per share and USD 3.97 billion in revenue, according to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026. The quarter ended with EPS USD 0.13 below the USD 2.25 consensus estimate, while revenue was USD 20 million below the USD 3.99 billion estimate.

Market valuation stays below yearly high

The same market snapshot places Alcoa's market capitalization at USD 11.80 billion as of September 22, 2026. Its 52-week range is USD 30.81 to USD 84.38, leaving the quoted price USD 40.01 below the high and USD 13.56 above the low.

MarketBeat also reports a consensus rating of Hold and an average price target of USD 60.09 on September 22, 2026. That broader target stands USD 15.72 below Freedom Broker's revised USD 76 target, showing that the individual upgrade is more optimistic than the aggregated view.

Alcoa stock remains tied to aluminum prices

For investors, the central tension is visible in the numbers: the latest quarter produced a 9.48 percent net margin, but EPS missed consensus by USD 0.13. The higher target therefore depends on pricing and volume assumptions rather than on a clean earnings beat.

Alcoa stock traded at USD 44.37 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026. The USD 11.80 billion market capitalization and the USD 30.81 to USD 84.38 52-week range frame the current valuation without creating a trading recommendation.
