About FutureFuel Corp.

FutureFuel Corp. is a U.S.-based company listed on the NYSE under the ticker FF, placing it squarely in the small-cap industrial universe. For European investors, it is best understood as a hybrid chemical and biofuels manufacturer rather than a pure-play energy name. The company operates primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, FutureFuel Chemical Company, and its business is organized into two operating segments: Chemicals and Biofuels. In practice, that means FutureFuel produces diversified chemical products, bio-based specialty chemicals, and biodiesel-related products. This gives the company a somewhat balanced profile: the chemical business can provide recurring industrial demand, while biofuels exposes results to feedstock costs, policy frameworks, and energy-market volatility. FutureFuel is a Delaware corporation and its manufacturing operations are conducted at an integrated facility in Batesville, Arkansas. In the most recent SEC filing, the company also states that its headquarters are located at that Batesville facility, even though older filings referenced the St. Louis/Clayton, Missouri area for corporate address and investor relations. That matters because it underscores the company’s highly concentrated industrial footprint and its U.S.-centric operating model. Historically, the Batesville asset traces back to the mid-2000s, when FutureFuel Chemical Company was established in 2006 after the company’s predecessor acquired the Batesville plant; FutureFuel’s common stock began trading on the NYSE on March 23, 2011. From a product perspective, FutureFuel’s portfolio includes biodiesel, petrodiesel blends, solvents, intermediates, and specialty chemical products used in industrial and agrochemical applications. Its competitive position is based less on consumer branding and more on manufacturing know-how, integrated production infrastructure, and long-standing B2B customer relationships. The company’s geographic presence is primarily domestic, with operations, assets, and sales largely centered in the United States. Recent developments reported in 2025 and 2026 indicate that management continued to return cash to shareholders through regular dividends, while also noting tougher market conditions in biofuels and the importance of evolving U.S. regulatory clarity. For investors, FutureFuel represents a niche U.S. industrial chemical platform with dividend support, policy sensitivity, and earnings leverage to chemical and biofuel spreads.
