Andersons (ANDE) stock surged 5.04% in intraday trading on Wednesday, as investors reacted positively to the company's third-quarter financial results and strategic developments. The agricultural and renewable products company reported Q3 sales of $2.68 billion and a net income of $20 million, demonstrating resilience in a challenging market environment.
Despite a slight decrease in revenues for its Renewables segment, Andersons showcased strong performance across its operations. The company reported a company-wide adjusted EBITDA of $78.0 million for Q3 2025, with diluted earnings per share of $0.59 and adjusted EPS of $0.84. These figures, while lower than the previous year, still beat market expectations, contributing to the stock's upward momentum.
Investors were particularly encouraged by Andersons' strategic moves, including the completion of a higher-than-expected wheat harvest, a record corn harvest underway, and the acquisition of full ownership of ethanol plants. The company's positioning to achieve 45Z tax credits for its ethanol plants and improved distillers corn oil prices further bolstered confidence in its future prospects. While short-term debt increased due to acquisitions, the company's readily marketable inventories significantly exceeded this debt, indicating a strong financial position.
