PBF Energy: Beatings Will Continue Until Crack Spreads Improve
Summary PBF Energy's high operating costs and declining crack spreads have led to significant cash burn and a degrading balance sheet, warranting a SELL rating. The Martinez refinery fire adds further uncertainty, with no clear timeline for repairs and potential negative impacts on future cash flow. Despite a low price-to-book valuation, PBF's poor financial performance and lack of cost-effectiveness make it a less attractive investment compared to peers. Crack spreads need to double from Q4 levels for PBF to achieve neutral free cash flow, which seems unlikely in the near term. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 07

PBF Energy Earnings Preview: More Losses In The Third Quarter
Summary Declining crack spreads have the potential to widen the quarterly loss for PBF. I expect this to be the second consecutive quarter PBF operates at a loss. Negative earnings significantly alter the typical valuation metrics and point to the deterioration of the "undervalued" thesis in the short term. Changes in valuation present near-term price risk, while the refinery markets navigate through general weakness. Refinery closures could restore the crack spreads to mid-cycle conditions by the second half of 2025. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
