Alto Ingredients shares surge 10.07% after-hours on Q4 profit turnaround and 2026 growth plans.

Alto Ingredients surged 10.07% in after-hours trading following a strong Q4 earnings report showing a net income of $21.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $27.9 million, reversing a prior-year loss. The results were driven by wider crush margins, higher renewable fuel exports, and cost discipline. Management highlighted plans to expand production, boost exports, and monetize Section 45Z tax credits in 2026, while ending 2025 with $23.4 million in cash and $102 million in borrowing availability. A H.C. Wainwright analyst reiterated a "Buy" rating, and the stock’s technical strength—trading above key moving averages—further fueled momentum. The rally capped a 52-week high amid improved operational performance and positive guidance.
