$ALTO Can anyone explain why ALTO has done so poorly, while competitor REX has almost doubled in value the last 11 months? I’ve been with this name since 2019, and I’m trying to do the “smart thing” and buy-and-hold, but it’s getting tough. What am I missing?

$ALTO Oil going up should be good for ALTO and ethanol demand as consumers seek out alternatives such as E85 and E15

$ALTO Over the last two week period of March, Open Short Interest increased by over 5.2 million shares...in just two weeks...to 17.7 million shares sold short, which IMHO is an unsustainable percentage increase in the open short interest. Meanwhile, the vast majority of Institutional funds holding ALT have dramatically increased their ownership positions. https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/alt/short-interest

$ALTO the silence is deafening… this management team is soft with their $5M added EBITDA projects. Should be a takeover target for SAF & CCS by one of the big boys. $150M market cap for a $1.2B revenue company is just silly. $500M bid would provide immense value for the acquirer, satisfy shareholders and put this sleepy management team out of its misery. Hopefully for a good Q1 earnings but these guys just can’t figure it out

User Image scbeachbum Posted - 2 weeks ago

$ALTO starting to remind me of last spring when there was a consistent move up. Right now a potential acquisition or sale is probably the best catalyst. Oil markets tightening which will help ethanol prices too.

@Dadbod $PLUG,Add. $GEVO,$ALTO,$HTOO Just saying - most of those currently posting don't know the real story or history! Only concerned with their start with Plug!

$ALTO This is a lotto ticket. Price target is a double at $5. Could be interesting entertainment. Options are monthly if you’re even considering it.

User Image Davb1231 Posted - 03/29/24

$ALTO 2 pushed. Let’s see if we can get some time here to develop a base. I mean I won’t hate on a gap up to 4 or 7 but I like slow and steady with this one because I am holding for end game. Whatever that may be. I think back to some lottery tickets that paid over the years. Antares pharma comes to mind for me. Piled in at .75 and then 1.2s and the company moved all around for years. Secondary offers diluting the poor longs. But. Like everyone wanted. They got bought by. Bigger fish. Sad part was the 12-20 we felt was value turned into 5.25 ish. Still a nice rip but over 7 years was the juice worth the squeeze? I would say yes. I feel the same here. There is a solid company business here. It needs to be bought by a bigger player to really blossom. What we get paid will be to be seen. GLTA

$ALTO REX vs Alto ... i bet on the wrong horse. Stuart always delivers a honest conference call, provided good insight on CCS permitting process and SAFs future. Alto playing catchup but it should get there eventually as long they are realistic their CCS timeline. The EPA regulatory hoops are no easy feat.

User Image scbeachbum Posted - 03/28/24

$ALTO Good move today, almost feels like there's some deal brewing for the western plants or the entire company. Also end of the quarter, so funds who did not want to own this for windowdressing might come in as buyers next week helping with upward pressure

$ALTO I’m waiting for this!

User Image scbeachbum Posted - 03/27/24

$ALTO They basically announced they are for sale on the last earnings call, so the question is who is going to step up? $VLO has a lot of ethanol plants, $ANDE said they are buyers in this market. $GPRE isn't selling theirs either. With sustainable aviation fuel starting to roll out from ethanol there will be a lot more demand, also E15 continues to roll out, which should keep demand high for ethanol. Someone will make a play on ALTO sooner than later I believe while they are still relatively cheap.

User Image Finitemaf Posted - 03/26/24

$ALTO what gives management… $140M market cap with $1.2B annual earnings. Time to reel in expenses and enjoy a year of profit with positive ethanol crush margins. Something needs to happen, bless us with an activist investor to shake up this company and the fossils running it

User Image scbeachbum Posted - 03/25/24

$ALTO a lot of call options activity today in the April 2s.

User Image Finitemaf Posted - 03/22/24

$AMTX nearly half the float traded today!! Big moves to continue next week. Carbon Sequestration and Sustainable Aviation Fuel going to change the ethanol industry forever!! Not to mention this will take supply away from RFS… I expect price for ethanol fuel to directly benefit. Never been more bullish on ethanol industry. Also corn hitting 4 year lows!!! $AMTX & $ALTO will have a massive 2024!! We are due faithful longs!!!

$ALTO can we push 2. Anything under what the buyback was should be easy backstop. I think we have established support. Now it’s time to consolidate and slowly base up. Con call was good. Industry is overlooked right now. GLTA
