Analysts are expecting earnings per share of $0.12 on revenue of $5.66 billion.
Alcoa's report traditionally marks the unofficial start of earnings season, a four-week window in which many of the stock market - and the world's - largest company give their quarterly reports.
Alcoa, formerly a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, is a aluminum giant that is often seen as a economic bellwether for industrial activity.
It has been a quiet couple months on Wall Street, but after a huge jobs report last Thursday and two-straight days of declines in the market, investors will be closely watching this season's earnings reports for signs as to where the market might be headed next.
