Pacific Ethanol Bankruptcy Is Opportunity
Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (PEIX) Could See Wider Margins Thanks to Lowered Corn Prices
Pacific Ethanol, Inc. has been suggested as one of two ethanol holdings in a commodity-based portfolio discussion. Lower corn prices should translate into wider margins for ethanol producers. Simultaneously, if Pacific Ethanol can nimbly work through its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, shares of PEIX may actually be a longer-term opportunity.
The onset of a stimulus-induced economic recovery has already started to push commodity prices higher, including oil and ethanol. At the same time, however, the USDA has reported that 2009's forecast of 87.0 million planted acres of corn is the second-largest planting since 1947. An abundant supply will likely keep corn prices contained, if not push them lower. As such, Pacific Ethanol, Inc. and other ethanol companies may find wider profit margins.
