Alto Ingredients (NASDAQ:ALTO) stock is falling on Tuesday following the release of the food and drink company’s earnings report for the third quarter of 2023.
Unfortunately for investors, the company released a mixed earnings report for that period. That starts with its earnings per share of -5 cents. That’s worse than the 10 cents per share Wall Street was expecting. However, it is better than the -39 cents per share reported in the same period of the year prior.
On the flip side of that, the company’s revenue of $318.13 million comes in above analysts’ estimate of $308.71 million. Despite that beat, revenue decreased 5.6% year-over-year from $336.9 million.
Bryon McGregor, president and CEO of Alto Ingredients, said the following in the earnings report:
“Our transition to provide high margin, differentiated specialty alcohols and essential ingredients in consumer, pharmaceutical, food, beverage and industrial products has greatly improved our financial profile over the past three years. We continue to make good progress, yet we remain subject to operational and commodity market challenges.”
