Green Plains (GPRE) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Green Plains (GPRE) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Green Plains Inc. is well-positioned for future earnings growth due to expected improvements in corn oil profits and advancements in carbon capture technologies, indicating potential for increased EBITDA. The preliminary guidance for 45Z and associated net annual EBITDA uplift of approximately $130 million from Nebraska plants suggests significant inherent company value, potentially doubling current trading levels. Coupled with a focus on cost reductions through a reorganization program aimed at saving $50 million annually, Green Plains is actively working to enhance its financial structure and operational efficiency, which could further bolster investor confidence.
Bears say
Green Plains Inc.'s financial outlook has been downgraded significantly, with FY25 EBITDA estimates reduced to $57 million from $135 million, primarily due to tempered expectations around protein pricing and operational challenges. The company's fourth-quarter performance highlighted elevated ethanol inventories, a lack of hedging strategies, and Clean Sugar operational issues that restricted capacity, leading to a substantial EBITDA loss of $19 million. Additionally, ongoing pressures from higher protein feed values, coupled with uncertainties regarding summer demand and export tariffs, contribute to a challenging operational and financial environment for the company.
