Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
EPS was negative in at least one boundary year, so a compound growth rate can't be computed from it. Set your own assumption.
- EPS in 5 years
- $0.26
- Implied price
- $4.73
- Return from $3.77
- 4.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $2.35 — -37.6% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.0% | -12.4% | -8.4% | -5.0% | -2.1% | 0.6% |
| 3.0% | -8.0% | -3.8% | -0.2% | 2.9% | 5.7% |
| 8.0% | -3.5% | 0.9% | 4.7% | 7.9% | 10.9% |
| 13.0% | 1.0% | 5.6% | 9.5% | 12.9% | 16.0% |
| 18.0% | 5.4% | 10.3% | 14.4% | 17.9% | 21.1% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

Alto Ingredients: Profit Is Still Cyclical But Valuation Is Becoming Interesting Alto Ingredients has posted four consecutive profitable quarters, improved its balance sheet, and is rated Buy at $3.90 due to attractive forward valuation. Q2 2026 results were strong, driven by favorable ethanol markets, but future earnings depend on structural improvements like Section 45Z and Pekin plant expansion.

Alto Ingredients: Strong Quarter, Decent Prospects - Buy The Dip Alto Ingredients reported strong second quarter results, with better-than-expected profitability and impressive cash generation. ALTO's results would have been even better without some unexpected headwinds in the company's high-margin export business and hedging losses. Despite strong results, shares have sold off by more than 15% in recent sessions likely due to the company's unfortunate decision to establish a $50 million at-the-

77 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
