Green Plains shares surge 10.78% premarket after Q3 earnings beat, tax credit monetization, and debt repayment from plant sale.

Green Plains Inc. surged 10.78% in premarket trading following the release of its third-quarter 2025 earnings, which showed a net income of $11.9 million (EPS $0.17) and Adjusted EBITDA of $52.6 million, driven by $26.5 million in 45Z production tax credits and a $36 million gain from the Tennessee plant sale.
