Salvator Tiano has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors impacting Green Plains’ future prospects. Despite the reduction in valuation and increased risks, Tiano remains optimistic about the company’s potential. The ongoing progress of Green Plains’ carbon capture initiative is a major factor in maintaining the Buy rating, as it could significantly enhance the company’s value. Additionally, Tiano believes that ethanol margins have stabilized after a decline, which could positively impact future earnings.
Another reason for the Buy rating is Green Plains’ proactive approach to its cost structure. The company has implemented a significant cost-cutting plan, aiming to save $50 million, with actions already in place to realize the first $30 million. This effort reflects a strategic move to address past inefficiencies and align resources more effectively. Moreover, the possibility of unlocking further value through a strategic review and potential asset divestments adds to the positive outlook, making the current risk/reward scenario favorable for investors.
In another report released yesterday, Truist Financial also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $12.00 price target.
