Cramer's Mailbag: Study Stocks Abroad

Stock quotes in this article: AA , CAT , GOOG , NYX , MRO , DVN  

I know that you have not been a big fan of Alcoa (AA Quote) in the past. Even so, do you think that the stock is just too cheap to ignore these days?

-- Tim C.

Jim Cramer: I'm still not a big fan of CEO Alain Belda and the aluminum company. That said, the stock is trading at just 11 times expected full-year earnings, and Alcoa continues to use excess cash flow to pay dividends and to buy back stock. The recent consolidation in the metals space has left only a few major players, and I would not be surprised if someone came in and bought out the company at these discounted levels.
