Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Alto Ingredients, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 8.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analysts lean positive.
