Frequently asked questions
What is Green Plains Renewable Energy Inc's revenue?

How profitable is GPRE?

How much free cash flow does GPRE generate?
GPRE produced $64.44M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
