This south Alabama stock soared on an otherwise flat day
On an otherwise flat day in the markets and on our Mobile and Alabama Stock Report, one area stock skipped into the weekend on the heels of a significant gain.
Enviva, the wood pellet manufacturer that partially exports out of the Port of Mobile and has a major facility coming soon to Epes in Sumter County, soared to a 6.8% gain.
Mobile-based Computer Programs and Systems was the only other stock on our list with a gain greater than 1%, pulling in a 1.4% increase.
