One billion gallons marks scale

The Superior facility, commissioned in 2008, employs nearly 50 people and supports farmers, grain haulers and contractors in the surrounding region, Business Wire reported on October 1, 2026. The one-billion-gallon milestone links the company's low-carbon strategy to an operating asset with a long production history.

The latest reported quarter supplied a sharper financial contrast. According to Business Wire, net income for the second quarter of 2026 was USD 67.10 million, or USD 0.83 diluted earnings per share, compared with a USD 72.20 million net loss, or USD 1.09 loss per share, in the second quarter of 2025.

Revenue fell despite higher earnings

Revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was USD 446.20 million versus USD 552.80 million a year earlier, a decline of 19.28 percent calculated from the reported figures. The earnings improvement therefore came with lower sales, making operating efficiency and higher-value products central to the company's investment case.

Benzinga reported on October 7, 2026 that adjusted EBITDA reached USD 93.30 million in the second quarter, up from USD 71.50 million in the first quarter. The transcript also said the carbon platform contributed USD 59.00 million of EBITDA in the quarter, while management expected annual capacity utilization of 95.00 percent.

What does the valuation show?

MarketBeat reported on October 1, 2026 that nine analysts held a consensus Hold rating, including one sell, five hold and three buy recommendations. The average 12-month price target was USD 15.43, while the reported 52-week range was USD 8.68 to USD 19.65.

The counter-factor is revenue concentration in ethanol and exposure to policy credits, seasonal driving demand and commodity prices. Simply Wall St wrote on October 8, 2026 that the company's valuation narrative depends on policy support for clean-fuel credits and management execution.
