Alcoa's 5.35% Plunge Amid 22% Volume Drop Leaves It 487th in Market Activity

On October 10, 2025, Alcoa (AA) closed with a 5.35% decline, marking its lowest closing price in recent months. The stock saw a trading volume of $260 million, a 22.21% drop from the previous day, ranking it 487th in terms of trading activity across the broader market. The sharp drop in volume and price suggests significant short-term selling pressure, though no major earnings or strategic announcements were reported to directly trigger the move.

Analysts noted that the decline occurred amid broader sector weakness in industrial metals, with aluminum prices trading near multi-month lows. However, no specific operational updates or regulatory developments related to Alcoa were cited as immediate catalysts for the selloff. The stock’s performance appeared more reflective of macroeconomic sentiment than company-specific news, as investors reevaluated exposure to cyclical industries amid tightening monetary conditions.

To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few details that aren’t yet specified: 1. Market universe • Do we confine the selection to U.S.-listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ), or a different universe? 2. Trading convention • Are positions opened at the day’s close and liquidated at the next day’s close (T+1 holding period)? 3. Portfolio construction • Equal-weighting each of the 500 names, or volume-weighted / capitalization-weighted? 4. Frictional costs • Should we include commissions and bid-ask slippage (e.g., 2 – 5 bp per side), or assume friction-less trading? 5. Cash management • When the strategy is in cash overnight (after positions are closed), is idle cash assumed to earn the risk-free rate, or zero? 6. Benchmark (optional) • Any particular benchmark you’d like the results compared with (e.g., SPY, RSP)? Once I have these points I can generate the daily selection list and feed it into the back-testing engine. Let me know, and we’ll proceed right away.
