What the filing says
LSB reported Q3 2026 net income of $16.3M (+129% vs. $7.1M in Q3 2025) and diluted EPS of $0.22 (+120% vs. $0.10). Net sales increased 2% to $158.6M, driven by higher AN and ammonia prices (+19% and +32% per ton respectively), partially offset by intentional shift from UAN to AN production. Adjusted EBITDA grew 55% to $62.3M from $40.1M. In May 2026, LSB assumed full ownership of its El Dorado CCS project from Lapis Carbon Solutions; project targets 400K–500K metric tons CO₂ capture/year, expecting ~$25M–$30M annual earnings when operational (via $85/ton 45Q tax credit), subject to EPA Class VI permit approval (currently targeted H2 2027). Cash and short-term investments total $203.5M; total debt $442.2M.
Why this rating
Strong earnings growth (+129% net income, +55% Adj. EBITDA) and Q3 execution are meaningful and exceed company size proportionally. CCS project ownership adds strategic upside ($25M–$30M annual benefit 12 years out) but is uncertain pending EPA approval. However, near-term financial results are actual, not speculative; debt remains ~1.06× market cap, manageable.
