What happened
Shares of natural-gas-for-transportation supplier Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ:CLNE) are up 10.2% at 2:47 p.m. EDT on August 9. Today’s surge follows a bad day on August 8, when shares finished down 11% following the release of the company’s second-quarter financial results after market close.
So what
Today’s big jump is interesting, considering that there really isn’t any corresponding news that could be the catalyst. The company didn’t make any announcement, there are no published Wall Street analyst upgrades of the stock, and there aren’t any of the other usual suspects, such as rising oil prices.
If there’s a “best guess” reason why shares are moving up today, it’s that some investors are seeing the positives that really outweighed any negatives from the company’s second-quarter earnings report. Clean Energy ended the quarter with more cash than debt, more improvement in lowered expenses, improved gross margins, and a clear path toward growth, with multiple catalysts set to drive adoption of natural gas in the heavy-trucking industry.
