WD-40's revenue and profit rose in its fiscal first quarter, boosted by sales growth across multiple regions. The household-products company reported per-share earnings of $1.39 for its three months ended Nov. 30, ahead of the $1.29 that two analysts polled by FactSet were expecting. Revenue jumped to $153.5 million from $140.4 million, fueled by an 8% year-over-year increase in the Americas region and an 18% gain across Europe, India, Middle East and Africa. It backed its 2025 outlook. Shares gain 6.3%, to $256, in post-market trading.

Calumet closed a $1.44 billion loan facility from the Energy Department. The maker of specialty branded products in various consumer and industrial markets said that the loan would fund the construction and expansion of a renewable-fuels facility owned by Calumet-subsidiary Montana Renewables. This expansion should position Montana Renewables as one of the largest global producers of sustainable aviation fuel, an alternative fuel made from non-petroleum feedstocks, it said. Shares rise 8.1%, to $23.51, in after-hours trading.

Shares gain 1%, to $37.55, in post-market trading.
