VeraSun Jumps at Open

By TSC Staff

Ethanol producer VeraSun (VSE:NYSE - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) surged 31% early Wednesday in its New York Stock Exchange debut.

Shares of the Brookings, S.D., corn fueler jumped to $30 early Wednesday. The company priced its 18.3 million-share initial public offering at $23 Tuesday. VeraSun is raising $421 million in the deal, which had been expected to price at $20 to $22 a share.

Up until recently, ethanol stocks like The Andersons (ANDE:Nasdaq - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) have been among the market's top performers. But the marketwide selloff that started last month has crushed these names, with the Andersons down 37% from its spring peak
