By Mill Chart

Last update: Aug 6, 2025

Alto Ingredients Inc (NASDAQ:ALTO) reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, missing analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The company’s financial performance and subsequent market reaction highlight ongoing challenges in its operations, despite some improvements in specific segments.

Key Financial Results vs. Estimates

  • Revenue: Reported at $218.44 million, falling short of the consensus estimate of $228.08 million.
  • EPS: Posted a loss of $0.15 per share, worse than the anticipated loss of $0.1071.
  • Gross Profit Improvement: The Western production segment contributed a $5.6 million increase in gross profit compared to Q2 2024, indicating some operational progress.

Market Reaction

Following the earnings release, ALTO shares declined 4.8% in after-hours trading, reflecting investor disappointment with the revenue and EPS miss. The stock has been under pressure over the past month, down 16.1%, suggesting broader concerns beyond just this quarter’s results.

Analyst Expectations for Future Quarters

  • Q3 2025: Analysts project a narrower loss of $0.0408 per share, with revenue expected at $243.04 million.
  • Full-Year 2025: Estimates forecast an annual loss of $0.3366 per share, with sales projected at $947.21 million.

The lack of a formal outlook in the press release leaves investors relying on these analyst estimates to gauge future performance. The company’s ability to improve profitability in its Western assets is a positive, but broader execution risks remain a concern.

Press Release Highlights

  • The Western production segment was a bright spot, driving a $5.6 million year-over-year gross profit increase.
  • No forward guidance was provided, leaving investors to assess the company’s trajectory based on current trends and external estimates.
