Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGI)
52-week Gain: 168.04%

Renewable Energy Group develops, sells, and distributes biofuels and renewable energy chemicals for companies throughout the U.S. The company recently announced a new research partnership with Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) in an effort to expand Renewable Energy Group’s Life Sciences bio-conversion technology programs (which convert sugars from cellulosic biomass into biodiesel). Renewable Energy Group has a market cap of just over $1 billion, and these recent announcements should help the company continue to establish itself within the industry.
The stock is up by a massive 168.04% over the last 52-weeks, and these bullish trends have been supported by consistent quarterly earnings performances. Renewable Energy Group has beaten analyst estimates for EPS in three of the last four quarters, and the company has consistently grown earnings over the last four years (producing $2.2 billion in revenue in 2018). Despite this strong run higher, REGI is still trading with a PE ratio (TTM) of 4.51, which is firmly below its competitor averages which are present in the same industry group.
