Shares of metals stocks are trading higher amid overall market strength after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A decrease of trade tensions could reduce demand uncertainty for base metals.

Monster Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNST#NASDAQ">MNST</a>) is bracing for tighter margins in the second quarter as rising aluminum costs and tariff-related premiums begin to squeeze its bottom line.
What Happened: During the company&#8217;s first quarter earnings call on Thursday, Vice Chairman and Co-CEO, Hilton Schlosberg, said that Monster&#8217;s layered hedging strategy may not be able to contain certain costs, particularly the rise in aluminum prices stemming from the tariffs.
&#8220;We use a ladder approach for hedging, and it's very difficult and somewhat expensive to hedge the Midwest premium,&#8221; he said, referring to the regional surcharge applied to aluminum deliveries in the U.S. Midwest.
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45306998/arm-cfo-explains-why-company-withheld-fiscal-2026-full-year-guidance-amid-uncertainty-from-customers-and-tariff-impacts-the-amount-of-signals-im-getting">Arm CFO Explains Why Company Withheld Fiscal 2026 Full Year Guidance Amid Uncertainty From Customers And Tariff Impacts: &#8216;The Amount Of Signals I&#8217;m Getting…&#8217;</a>
&#8220;To a limited degree, we are hedged with certain volumes in the Midwest premium,&#8221; Schlosberg said, while acknowledging, &#8220;we don't always win&#8221; with hedging. He added that the purpose of the company's hedging strategy is to manage risk and avoid leaving the business overly exposed to price volatility.
Looking ahead, Schlosberg warned that rising material costs, including the Midwest aluminum premium, are likely to pressure margins in the coming months. &#8220;I wouldn't expect that the second quarter margin will be as high as the first quarter margin,&#8221; he said.
Why It Matters: In February, Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) warned that the <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/02/43759161/coca-cola-warns-trumps-tariffs-could-force-it-to-use-more-plastic-if-aluminium-cans-become-more-expensive-we-can-shift-to-pet">tariffs on Aluminum</a> could force it to use more plastic to keep prices stable. &#8220;If aluminum cans become more expensive, we can put more emphasis on PET bottles,&#8221; the company&#8217;s CEO, James Quincey, said. 
Even Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>), the largest aluminum producer in the U.S., recently disclosed that tariffs <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44858454/alcoa-warns-tariffs-could-cost-425-million-annually-this-is-the-most-material-impact-says-ceo">have taken a toll</a> on its bottom line, while estimating an annual earnings impact of $425 million. The company noted that 70% of its production based in Canada is destined for American consumers, making it vulnerable.
Monster Beverages is also expected to face certain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45188975/snap-spending-shift-could-hit-general-mills-pepsico-hard-warns-analyst">headwinds stemming from cuts</a> in the U.S. Federal Government&#8217;s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), with roughly 10% of its $123 billion annual budget being spent on soda. 
During its first quarter results, Monster reported $1.85 billion in revenue, down 2.3% year-over-year, with a profit of $0.45 per share, up 7.4% from last year. The company missed consensus estimates at the top and bottom lines. 
Price Action: The stock was down 0.69% on Thursday, and is down 0.73% after hours, following its first quarter, which fell short of analyst estimates.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Alcoa has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Alcoa's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Alcoa's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.69%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Alcoa Posts Weak Revenue, Joins QXO And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

Alcoa shares are trading lower after the company reported mixed Q1 results and reported a $20 million in additional costs during the quarter, stemming from newly imposed tariffs on Canadian aluminum imports.

Alcoa Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AA#NYSE">AA</a>), the largest aluminum producer in the United States, reported $20 million in additional costs during its first quarter, stemming from newly imposed tariffs on Canadian aluminum imports last month.
What Happened: During its <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44853254/alcoa-shares-gain-after-mixed-q1-results-eps-beat-revenues-miss">first quarter earnings</a> call on Wednesday, Alcoa&#8217;s CFO, Molly Bierman, said the 25% tariffs, which took effect on March 12th, have already impacted the company's bottom line, to the tune of $20 million, and expects tariff-related expenses to climb to $90 million during the second quarter.
Following up on this, CEO William F. Oplinger said the tariff poses a significant challenge for the company. "This is the most material impact to Alcoa, as approximately 70% of our aluminum produced in Canada is destined for U.S. customers," Oplinger said.
He estimated the annual cost of the 25% tariff could reach as high as $425 million.

Besides this, a portion of raw materials sourced from China is now subject to higher tariffs, according to Oplinger. He estimates those added costs will increase annual input expenses by $10 million to $15 million, citing a lack of viable alternative suppliers.
The company, however, expects to offset some of these costs with a high Midwest Premium, which refers to the added costs the buyers pay for aluminum, in addition to the base price. With this premium, Oplinger believes the net annual result is a negative $100 million for Alcoa.
Why It Matters: Recently, Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) analysts double-downgraded the stock, from &#8220;Buy&#8221; to &#8220;Underperform,&#8221; while slashing its Price Target from $58 to $26, representing a downward revision of 55%, citing lower aluminum prices and tariff pressures, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/alcoa-stock-sell-double-downgrade-4222e6a2">reports</a> Barron&#8217;s. 
Alcoa&#8217;s CEO William Oplinger has been a vocal critic of the tariffs, saying that they could wipe out 100,000 U.S. jobs as far back as February, as <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/alcoa-s-ceo-says-trump-tariffs-could-wipe-out-100-000-u-s-jobs-11686292'">reported</a> by Investopedia. 
Price Action: Alcoa stock was up 1.58% on Wednesday, but is down 1.48% in after-hours trading following its first quarter earnings release that fell short of estimates.
