Avoid These 2 Overvalued Renewable Chemical StocksGevo, Inc. (GEVO)
GEVO is a renewable fuels company that commercializes jet fuel, gasoline and diesel fuel that emit reduced greenhouse gasses. The company uses low-carbon renewable resource-based carbohydrates as raw materials and is developing renewable electricity and renewable natural gas for use in production processes.
GEVO’s total revenues have decreased 92.3% year-over-year to $531,000 in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020. This is because the company terminated its production of ethanol and distiller grains at its Luverne Facility in March 2020. The facility will remain closed until further notice. Also, its hydrocarbon revenue was affected because of decreased shipments of finished products from the company’s demonstration plant at its South Hampton Facility. Its loss from operations have increased 12.4% from the year-ago value to $7 million, due primarily to an increase in consulting and personnel costs, while its net loss has risen 164.9% to $18.05 million over that period.
