Nucor earnings beat by $0.08, revenue fell short of estimates
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO), a renewable energy company with a market capitalization of $276 million and significant revenue growth of 145% over the last twelve months, has promoted Lindsay Fitzgerald to the position of Chief Advocacy and Communications Officer, effective immediately, as announced today. Fitzgerald, who has been with the diversified energy company since 2021, will lead efforts in policy advocacy and public communications to support Gevo’s mission of enhancing American energy and food security.
Prior to her promotion, Fitzgerald held the roles of Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Vice President of Government Relations at Gevo. Her background includes nearly two decades of experience, with positions at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Clean Fuels Alliance America, and Renewable Energy Group. In these roles, she has developed policy strategies that support clean fuels and domestic energy production, while also focusing on creating rural jobs.
In her new role, Fitzgerald is expected to continue her work in advancing Gevo’s initiatives for American-made hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals, as well as building free-market solutions for carbon abatement and economic growth. Her efforts are aimed at bolstering U.S. agriculture, opening new markets for farmers and innovators, and promoting domestic manufacturing.
Dr. Patrick R. Gruber, CEO of Gevo, commended Fitzgerald’s understanding of the practical policies and clear messaging required for real-world solutions. He emphasized her contributions to energy independence, job creation, and market-based carbon strategies that align with American interests.
Gevo’s business model focuses on investing in rural America to create jobs and revitalize communities. The company operates one of the largest dairy-based renewable natural gas facilities in the U.S. and an ethanol plant with an adjacent carbon capture and sequestration facility. Gevo also owns a production facility for specialty alcohol-to-jet fuels and chemicals. According to InvestingPro analysis, while the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 2.04, indicating strong short-term liquidity, it faces challenges with profitability as reflected in its negative EBITDA of $54.57 million. Analysts expect revenue growth of 9.53% for the current fiscal year.
This promotion is part of Gevo’s commitment to delivering value through energy innovation and carbon abatement, utilizing American-grown resources.

In a strategic move, Gevo announced the sale of its subsidiary Agri-Energy, LLC to A.E. Innovation, LLC for $7 million, a transaction expected to close by the end of 2025. This sale is anticipated to save Gevo approximately $3 million annually in facility idling costs.

Wainwright maintained a Buy rating on Gevo with a price target of $14, highlighting the positive impact of the Agri-Energy sale.
