[Refining Giant's Results Explode! HF Sinclair Profits Soar, Are Diesel Margins the Unsung Hero?] ⑴ Refiner HF Sinclair reported second-quarter profits on Thursday that exceeded Wall Street expectations. ⑵ This was primarily due to a significant increase in refining margins. ⑶ For the three months ended June 30, HF Sinclair reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.70. ⑷ This figure was well above the average analyst estimate of $1.02 per share. ⑸ The company's adjusted refining margin per barrel reached $16.50 for the quarter, a significant increase from $11.33 in the same period last year. ⑹ Top U.S. refiners generally expect second-quarter profit growth, rebounding from first-quarter losses, thanks to higher-than-expected diesel margins, with peers like Valero Energy also exceeding expectations. ⑺ Fuel producers have seen unexpected increases in profits for their main products in recent months, easing the previous decline in earnings from their 2022 peaks. ⑻ The strong performance of this performance reflects the positive impact of the recovery in demand in the post-epidemic era and the supply disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the profitability of the refining industry.
