Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

1. REX American Resources reported robust third-quarter 2025 earnings, significantly exceeding market expectations. The company's earnings per share (EPS) reached $0.71, compared to a forecast of $0.27, a surprise increase of 162.96%.

2. The strong Q3 2025 performance was largely attributed to increased ethanol sales volumes and a substantial rise in corn oil revenue.

Additionally, distillers corn oil (DCO) revenue jumped 60% year-over-year in the third quarter, driven by a 36% increase in average selling price per pound and a 17% increase in DCO volume per bushel.
