Alto Ingredients reported $14.8 million in third-quarter 2026 gross profit and raised its 2026 estimate for net earnings from the 45Z tax credit to at least $20 million, citing more than 90 million qualifying gallons and low-carbon corn agreements. The company said its Pekin dry mill was expected to reach an annual run rate of about 65 million gallons, while European exports may not resume until 2027; management also cited potential for California E15 adoption to add more than 600 million gallons of annual ethanol demand industry-wide.
Tax-credit incentives and potential E15 expansion support ethanol demand and could increase competition for corn used as feedstock. Delayed European exports limit near-term export demand for U.S. ethanol, tempering that support.
