Analysis · ALCO · Industrial Applications And Services
A strong third quarter saw Alico swing to a $2.1M net profit from a year-ago loss, as revenue climbed 7.7% to $9.0M — evidence that its land-leasing strategy is gaining traction. The company raised its full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance to ~$15M and expects to end FY2026 with $48M in cash and net debt of $37M, a balance sheet robust enough to fund operations through 2029 without additional asset sales. A completed $10M buyback and the Citree JV acquisition simplify the corporate structure and signal confidence in the land portfolio's value. Meanwhile, Corkscrew Grove East Village's advancement into state and federal permitting keeps the multi-year development catalyst on track.
