Alto Ingredients: This Small-Cap Turnaround Still Has Room To Run
Alto Ingredients has rallied more than 300% over the last year, but the stock still trades at a discount to the sector. Gross profit improved sharply year over year, helped by stronger crush margins, export demand, 45Z tax credits, and derivative gains. Scenario analysis shows ALTO trades at a 33–40% P/E discount to peers, with 2027 base and bull cases offering 73–98% upside; I rate it Strong Buy.
