Green Plains Inc. (GPRE) scored on five pillars from its reported financial statements, and ranked against 77 Materials companies.
Green Plains Inc. (GPRE) scores 5.5 out of 10 as of , computed from its reported financial statements. That reads as solid quality. The reading rests on profitability, and predictability is what holds it back.
One pillar, growth, is unscored because the filings behind it carry too little to judge. It is shown as a dash rather than a zero, and the overall score is the weighted average of what could be scored.

Green Plains Inc. (GPRE) has a Lemma Quality Score of 5.5 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which reads as solid quality. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
Ranked with the 77 Materials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 64th percentile, in the upper half of the group, short of the top quarter. For reference, the middle of the group scores 4.4 and a company needs 6.2 to reach its top quarter, which leaves Green Plains Inc. above the median.
On profitability, Green Plains Inc. scores 6.7, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.4 across 74 Materials companies, which places it well above them, at the 79th percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.
Green Plains Inc.’s solvency score is 6.5 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.7 among 66 Materials companies, that is in line with the group and the 48th percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.
There is no growth score for Green Plains Inc.: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 57 Materials companies the median for this pillar is 3.2. Growth needs at least three years of comparable annual statements, so a short or interrupted history leaves it blank.
Green Plains Inc.’s efficiency score is 6.3 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.2 among 71 Materials companies, that is above the group and the 75th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
Green Plains Inc.’s predictability score is 2.5 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.5 among 76 Materials companies, that is well below the group and the 20th percentile. When results are this uneven, the averages behind the other pillars hide a lot of movement, and a longer history tells more than the latest year.
This is a lopsided profile. Profitability scores 6.7 but predictability only 2.5, a gap of 4.2 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. Leading with profitability is the most valuable kind of strength, because margins and returns are what the other pillars ultimately feed. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.
Of everything that could lift Green Plains Inc.’s score, predictability matters most. Bringing it up to the 4.5 median of Materials companies would take the overall from 5.5 to roughly 6.0. Only four of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 80 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.
These are the Materials companies closest to Green Plains Inc. in market value. Each has its own page scored on the same five pillars, so the comparison is like for like.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

On this reading Green Plains Inc. scores 5.5 out of 10, which reads as solid quality. Its strongest pillar is profitability, its weakest is predictability. Quality is not the same as a good investment: the score says nothing about the price you would pay.
Green Plains Inc. ranks at the 64th percentile of the 77 Materials companies Lemma publishes a score for. The median there is 4.4 and the top quarter starts at 6.2, against Green Plains Inc.’s 5.5.
Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.
This page last changed on October 19, 2026. The score moves with the financial statements, so the page changes when a new filing moves the reading rather than on a schedule. Live figures for GPRE are in the app.
No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
