Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Green Plains Inc. trades at $14.93, close to the $14.19 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On this measure the market and the model broadly agree, so the interesting question is which of them is wrong.
Our moat model scores it 29 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 8.8 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.

Common questions
Is Green Plains Inc. (GPRE) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $14.19, GPRE at $14.93 is 5% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own GPRE?
11 of the institutions we track reported a position in GPRE in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is GPRE's P/E ratio?
GPRE trades at 8.8 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
When does GPRE report earnings next?
Green Plains Inc. is scheduled to report on 4 Nov 2026. Companies move earnings dates, so read it as scheduled rather than certain.
