Renewable Energy Group: A Safe Energy Stock Bound To Gain Big

Renewable Energy Group, Inc. is a clean energy stock, specializing in the biodiesel sector, through the production of advanced biofuels by processing natural oils, grease, and animal fats. REGI stock has shown a persistent climb throughout the years, despite disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Texas grid crisis of 2021. Its financial performance for fiscal 2021 indicates a steady growth in revenue and EPS, indicating a bounce-back following the macroeconomic shocks felt in 2020. In comparison to similarly-sized energy stocks, REGI is perceived with a high degree of optimism in the market, as reflected by several metrics and indicators.

Renewable Energy Group: Still Bearish At Lower Share Price

Renewable Energy Group relies on government incentives and subsidies for its financial viability. Governments and their agencies have a history of showing reluctance to extend biofuel support measures, and the EPA questions the clean credentials of biofuels. The advent of a hydrogen economy will likely wreak havoc on the biofuels industry, even for those with a "cleaner" product. Despite a recent significant fall in share price, following an EPA recommendation to reduce blending mandates, Renewable Energy shares remain unattractive.
