Critical Dependencies
One of the world's largest independent petroleum refiners with a growing renewable fuels business, which reported Q2 2026 net income of $3.7 billion ($12.62/share), up sharply from $714 million a year earlier, on revenue of $44.48 billion beating estimates, as its refining segment operating income surged to $4.5 billion from $1.3 billion. Results were driven by higher product prices, increased renewable volumes, and strong diesel and gasoline demand, while the company permanently idled its Benicia refinery and continued a phased restart at Port Arthur following a March 2026 fire.
