PEIX-- Kelly, the reason PEIX has 1,685% growth is because in Q2 2013 they only made 9 cents, so naturally if they were to post 1.50 this quarter it's a huge jump.

Their earnings were very weak and inconsistent the past few years.

Just check out http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/peix/revenue-eps to see the EPS results for the last 9 quarters (obviously the most recent quarter was only a "loss" under GAAP rules) and then click on the link under that table shown on that webpage to get the table of figures for previous 3 years.


All three smallcap companies-- PEIX, GPRE and REX-- were hit hard by the drought of 2012 and the high corn prices that ensued. But
which company has come out of it with the most consistent big earnings growth?

Hey, I really like PEIX, but it's becoming an "apples and oranges" thing to compare it with REX.

Over the past 5 quarters, REX has posted EPS of 0.43, 0.71., 1.20, 1.95 and now 2.67 and most probably will exceed 3.00 EPS in Q2. What has PEIX (or GPRE) done? Look at the tables for each of the three cos. at Nasdaq.... I rest my case. (And we could also ask: which company has grown its cash over debt the most significantly?)
