    FutureFuel (FF)

    Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★

    Overview: FutureFuel Corp. manufactures and sells diversified chemical, bio-based fuel, and bio-based specialty chemical products in the United States, with a market cap of approximately $144.11 million.

    Operations: FutureFuel's revenue is derived from two main segments: Biofuels, generating $71.06 million, and Chemicals, contributing $66.35 million.

    Market Cap: $144.11M

    FutureFuel Corp. faces challenges as a penny stock due to recent financial performance, reporting a net loss of US$37.39 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to a net income the previous year. Despite being debt-free and having sufficient short-term assets (US$112.8M) to cover liabilities, it remains unprofitable with losses increasing by 33.6% annually over five years. Trading at nearly half its estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation, yet volatility and declining earnings are concerns. Recent strategic changes include board restructuring and dividend affirmations despite financial setbacks, highlighting efforts toward stability amidst ongoing challenges in revenue generation.
