AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

REX is a well-capitalized cyclical ethanol play whose upside hinges on converting peak-margin cash flows into high-return One Earth expansion and carbon-capture assets, but investors should value earnings below current levels until 45Z support, project execution, and post-cycle margins prove durable.
