Press Releases

The Andersons, Inc. announced today it has raised its guidance range to between $3.15 and $3.35 from the previous guidance of $2.90 to $3.15.

The increase is largely attributed to positive market factors in the agriculture industry, mainly better performance in the Plant Nutrient Group and the large grain harvest projected this fall, which will have a positive impact in the Grain & Ethanol Group.

More details on these factors, and the company's overall third quarter performance, will be included in the company's third quarter financial release currently scheduled for Wednesday, October 31 and during the conference call at 11 a.m. EST on Thursday, November 1.
