Renewable Fuel Groups Urge US Lawmakers to Attach Nationwide E15 Gasoline Sales to New Farm Bill

By

-- Over 30 renewable fuels stakeholder groups sent a letter to US lawmakers on Tuesday, urging them to attach an amendment to the Farm Bill that would allow the nationwide, year-round sale of E15 gasoline.

The groups, representing farmers and renewable fuels producers from across the country, sent a letter to US House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Agriculture Committee Chair G T Thompson, according to the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association.

While floor debate has not been set, the deadline to submit amendments to the House Farm Bill has passed. The E15 amendment is the result of the work of the E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council, co-chaired by Iowa Rep. Randy Feenstra.

Backers of E15 hope the amendment will be ordered by the House Rules Committee.

"IRFA is proud to be part of this letter that spans farmers from Texas to North Dakota, and from Nebraska to Ohio," said Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

"We are confident of bipartisan support on the House floor if E15 is allowed a vote. One way or the other, it is beyond time to unleash E15 to reduce gas prices while boosting farmer income and enhancing US energy security," Shaw added.

Research Alert: Ter Beats Expectations, But Q2 Guidance Only In Line, Disappointing The Bulls

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:TER's results again beat consensus in Q1, with sales of $1.28B (+87% Y/Y) outpacing the Street's $1.22B by 5.5% and non-GAAP EPS of $2.56 (+241%) beating expectations for $2.11 by 21%. While still impressive, these results may disappoint more bullish investors, following Q4's blowout beats of 11%/30% for sales/EPS, respectively. Guidance was similarly underwhelming given high expectations, with midpoints of $1.20B in revenue and $2.01 in EPS coming in only just above the Street's views of $1.19B/$1.96, whereas last quarter's guidance beat by an eye-popping 27%/66% for sales/EPS. AI comprised approximately 70% of demand during the quarter, as expected. Semiconductor Test (87% of sales) accelerated +105%, System Test grew +78%, and Robotics rebounded +32% after declines throughout 2025, reflecting broad-based demand. We think 2H will start to reverse 1H's strength given order lumpiness and management's warnings of demand pull-in, with ongoing memory/cleanroom constraints potentially adding pressure.
