On Tuesday, ONCY stock gained again and went up by as much as 34%. Gains extended further on Wednesday after the stock hit fresh 8-month highs of $2.
Penny Stocks To Watch #3 Pacific Ethanol
Pacific Ethanol Inc (PEIX Stock Report) was another major mover among penny stocks yesterday. It came after the company managed to get an extension on its loan from its lenders. The company’s debts had become due this past Sunday but Pacific Ethanol managed to negotiate fresh terms with its lenders and got an extension.
“We are working constructively with all our lenders to conclude agreements that will support the company as we continue to implement our strategic plan. We are working diligently to finish the documentation and look forward to sharing the terms of these amendments.”
Neil Koehler, Pacific Ethanol’s president and CEO
It proved to be a major boost for the renewable fuel producer. PEIX stock rallied by as much as 31% on the back of the news. Gains extended further on Wednesday as well. The penny stock hit new December highs of $0.70 during premarket trading.
