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: CFRA Cuts View On Enterprise Products Partners To Hold From Buy

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our downgrade (to Hold from Buy) is on valuation, with shares up 21% YTD and now trading close to our target price. We maintain our 12-month target price at $40, a 10.9x multiple of enterprise value to projected '27 EBITDA, slightly above EPD's historical forward average. The applied multiple is a small premium to EPD's historical forward average, but is merited in our view by rising demand for U.S. midstream assets. Such assets can help bring more crude oil, NGLs, and natural gas to export terminals at a time when Middle East-sourced energy is constrained. We raise our '26 EPS estimate by $0.06 to $2.90, and '27's by $0.03 to $3.23. Capex spend looks relatively high in '26, but should drop off meaningfully in '27. Units yield 5.7%, adding to total return potential. We see EPD with the combination of growth capex and dividends chewing up 89% of operating cash flow in '26, about in line with peers, and implying a modest margin for error.

Research Alert: Tap: Q1 Earnings Well Ahead Of Expectations; 2026 Guidance Unchanged

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Molson Coors (TAP) posted Q1 adjusted EPS of $0.62 vs. $0.50 (+24%), well ahead of the $0.36 consensus. The beat was due to stronger-than-expected sales and margins, as net sales rose 2.0% to $2.35B ($25M above consensus) on a 2.9% drop in financial volume, partially offset by positive impacts from price/sales mix (+3.0%) and currency (+1.9%). Gross margin expanded 130 bps to 38.2% (350 bps ahead of consensus). The decline in financial volume reflected ongoing industry challenges, with U.S. brand volumes falling 3.5% due to lower share performance in core and value segments, while Canada experienced a 4.0% decline led by broader industry weakness. TAP maintained guidance for a full-year underlying EPS decline of 11%-15%, implying EPS of approximately $4.61-$4.82, versus the current consensus of $4.71 and the $5.42 earned in 2025. TAP shares are currently trading 5% higher in pre-market trading following the release. TAP's margin performance was notably strong, with COGS remaining flat despite lower volumes.
