Upturn Advisory & Investor View for REX

11/06/2026: REX (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

REX American Resources Corporation is a US-based renewable energy company focused on the production of ethanol, distillers grains, and corn oil. The company is known for its strong balance sheet, operational efficiency, and focus on high-margin co-products. A primary growth opportunity lies in its potential to integrate carbon capture technologies, though it faces risks from commodity price volatility and the long-term transition to electric vehicles. The stock may best suit value-oriented investors who monitor the 'crush spread' and regulatory developments in the biofuel industry. It does not pay a regular dividend, keeping the focus squarely on capital allocation and long-term operational performance.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
REX receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
REX has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2026 versus FY2025, strong earnings growth (+42.6%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 7.6%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+1.2%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
REX's financial health is supported by solid liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 46.7%). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is REX's strongest growth driver at +793.1% FY2026 versus FY2025 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+42.6%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+1.2%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 83.8% and approximately 93.6% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 13.29% supports management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 17.07%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 5.38%
State Street Corp 4.74%
Renaissance Technologies Corp 4.40%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 3.87%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
REX generates approximately $144 of gross profit, $94 of operating income, and $76 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2026 results. Soft margins explain the 2-star rating, with soft cash conversion and solid capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -7.34% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
REX has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
