Clean Energy Fuels Q1 Revenue Jumps 13%, Beats Estimates on Surging RNG Demand
Summary
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. reported a strong first quarter, with revenue increasing 13% year-over-year to $117.6 million, significantly surpassing analyst estimates of $97.85 million. The company also beat expectations for adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA, driven by a 33% surge in renewable natural gas (RNG) gallons sold. This positive performance contrasts with the significantly wider net loss reported in the company's 2025 10-K, suggesting a strong start to the year. The robust demand for RNG, fueled by elevated oil and diesel prices, indicates favorable market conditions and improving operational momentum. Traders will be watching for sustained RNG demand and the company's progress towards its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $70 million to $75 million.
