  6. MorningStar Opinion (3 of 5 Stars) • “Alcoa is gradually reshuffling its portfolio to focus more on the upstream bauxite mining and refinery business, and de-emphasize the downstream production business. Given the more attractive economics of the mining and alumina refining operations, we think the company is on track to improve its profitability over the long haul. However, the current economic environment is a tough one for the firm to execute on its long-term strategy.”
