Gevo shares rose 30.9% after the company reported record third-quarter revenue, net income, adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow, and said 2026 adjusted EBITDA could exceed $90 million. The positive reaction aligns with the reported profitability and cash generation, though the outlook includes one-time carbon-credit revenue and anticipated RNG tax-credit value.
