HF Sinclair

Refines petroleum; markets fuels and lubricants

Overview

HF Sinclair is an independent energy company with operations across refining, midstream, and marketing, plus involvement in renewable diesel, specialty lubricants, asphalt, and chemicals. It refines crude oil into light products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, and also produces renewable diesel and other specialty products for commercial and industrial customers. Its five-area structure covers downstream refining, midstream logistics, and marketing to a diverse customer base, with additional international activity in Canada and the Netherlands. Unlike many peers that focus on a single segment, HF Sinclair integrates multiple stages of the energy value chain—from producing and processing fuels to distributing them—while expanding into renewable and specialty product areas. The company aims to grow its footprint across the energy value chain, broaden its product slate (including renewables and chemicals), and strengthen its presence in North American and international markets.

HF Sinclair (DINO) named top 10 energy dividend stock with 2.13% yield.

HF Sinclair (DINO) named top 10 energy dividend stock with 2.13% yield. By Joel Kornblau, Editor, Energy Stock Channel, Wednesday, November 11, 2026, 9:52 AM ET HF Sinclair Corp. (DINO) was named a top 10 dividend-paying energy stock in Dividend Channel's weekly DividendRank report. The ranking cited the company's valuation and profitability metrics, quarterly dividend history, and multiyear growth in key fundamentals. The reported dividend yield was 2.13%. What the DividendRank placement measures. Dividend Channel describes DividendRank as a screening formula that weighs profitability and valuation to identify dividend stocks for further research. HF Sinclair's placement therefore reflects the report's assessment of those factors, rather than a measure of dividend safety on its own. HF Sinclair dividend and yield. HF Sinclair's stated annualized dividend is $2.10 per share, paid quarterly. The report lists Nov. 12, 2026, as the ex-dividend date. At the cited 2.13% yield, the annualized dividend implies a share price of approximately $98.59. Yield changes as the share price moves, even if the dividend rate stays the same. For a refiner, the durability of a dividend depends in part on cash generation across the industry cycle. Refining margins, operating costs, capital spending and balance-sheet demands can affect the cash available for distributions. Those factors provide a useful test of whether a dividend supported during strong periods can be maintained when conditions weaken. DINO dividend history. The chart below shows DINO's historical dividend payments. A company's dividend history can reveal changes in payment frequency and size, but past payments alone do not establish whether the current rate will continue.

HF Sinclair stock jumps 120% as buybacks cut share count 5.2%, but can the cash last?

HF Sinclair's stock returned 120.1% over the past year, against 11.3% for the S&P 500, yet it trades at 5.7 times earnings versus 22.6 for the index. Buybacks are the main case for owning the shares: the refiner spent 4.1% of its market value on them over the year. Diluted shares averaged 176 million in the twelve months to September 2026, down 5.2% from three years earlier. Free cash flow was $3.2 billion, against $1.24 billion paid out in buybacks and dividends. The cash may not last. The operating margin of 13.7% is the highest since late 2016, helped by tight fuel supply and elevated crack spreads. Management targets a 50% payout ratio, so lower profit would likely mean smaller buybacks.

HF Sinclair picks up 25 stores from Littlefield Express.

HF Sinclair picks up 25 stores from Littlefield Express. Oct 29 2026 Operations & Marketing The transaction marks Littlefield's exit from the convenience retail space. Green Trail Fuels, a joint venture between HF Sinclair Corp. and UPOP Holdings, has acquired 25 c-stores in Arkansas and Oklahoma from Littlefield Retail Group, which does business under the Littlefield Express banner. Founded in 1946 as a bay station in Booneville, Ark., Littlefield Oil Co. grew into a leading regional fuel provider before launching Littlefield Express in 2014. The network spans neighborhood convenience stores and highway travel centers across Arkansas and Oklahoma, offering foodservice, car washes, McDonald's and Burger King restaurants, and Phillips 66, Valero, Citgo and Sinclair fuel. Green Trail was formed in February 2026 to grow HF Sinclair's branded retail presence. UPOP operates the retail sites, and HF Sinclair holds a 50% non-operating economic interest and supplies fuel from its regional refineries. The Littlefield Express portfolio extends the joint venture into Arkansas and Oklahoma and marks a significant step in building a scalable, multi-state retail platform. While the transaction marks the Littlefield family's exit from convenience retail operations, the family will continue to operate its long-standing energy businesses. The sale allows the family to realize the value of the retail platform it built while focusing on the wholesale and logistics operations that have been at the core of the business for nearly eighty years. Downstream Energy Group (DEG), an M&A advisory firm, served as the exclusive sell-side advisor to Littlefield, providing valuation and strategic advisory services, managing a competitive sale process, and assisting in the negotiation and execution of the definitive transaction agreements. "The Littlefield family has built an exceptional business and reputation over eight decades, which was reflected in the strong interest we received throughout the sale process," said Jeff Traub, partner at DEG. "Green Trail is an excellent strategic fit for the portfolio, and this transaction allows the family to realize the value they've created while continuing to grow their wholesale, transportation and propane businesses. It was a privilege to represent them." "Selling the stores we built was not a decision we made lightly," said Aaron Littlefield, president of Littlefield Companies. "DEG took the time to understand our business, executed a disciplined, competitive sale process that attracted highly qualified buyers, and guided us through every step. We are proud to hand these stores to Green Trail and look forward to focusing on our wholesale, transport and propane operations."

HF Sinclair earnings surge as Ledbetter named next CEO.

HF Sinclair earnings surge as Ledbetter named next CEO. Reading Time: 5 mins read HF Sinclair earnings surged to a record as tight fuel supplies lifted refining margins, while the New York-listed energy company named a new chief executive ahead of its planned lubricants business separation. The Dallas-based refiner reported October 28 that third-quarter net income attributable to shareholders reached $2.015 billion, or $11.38 per diluted share, compared with $403 million, or $2.15, a year earlier. Adjusted profit was $11.75 per diluted share. That exceeded the $7.65 average analyst estimate compiled by LSEG, according to Reuters. The news agency reported that Middle East disruptions had tightened global fuel supplies and boosted demand for U.S. refiners' exports. Executives said a full recovery from global refining disruptions was not expected before 2028. Adjusted refinery gross margin climbed to $54.22 per produced barrel sold from $19.16 a year earlier. The company attributed improved refining results to tight transportation-fuel supplies, higher crack spreads and Environmental Protection Agency small-refinery waivers. Those waivers also complicate the cash picture. Acting finance chief Vivek Garg told analysts that the company reversed previously recorded expenses after receiving exemptions, but had not monetized the resulting additional renewable-fuel credits. The earnings benefit therefore had not flowed through the cash-flow statement. Separately, Steve Ledbetter will become CEO and president on January 1, 2027, succeeding Franklin Myers. Ledbetter has been president and chief operating officer since July and joined in March 2023. The succession announcement said Myers would remain executive chairperson until the planned Lubricants & Specialties separation is completed. The proposed transaction would create an independent public company and is expected to be substantially completed during 2027. HF Sinclair returned $572 million through dividends and buybacks during the quarter. Its next quarterly dividend of $0.525 per share is payable December 2 to shareholders of record November 12. Company statement HF Sinclair Corporation (NYSE and NYSE Texas, Inc.: DINO) ("HF Sinclair" or the "Company") today reported Net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders of $2,015 million, or $11.38 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to Net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders of $403 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the adjustments shown in the accompanying earnings release table, adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders for the third quarter of 2026 was $2,079 million, or $11.75 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income attributable to HF Sinclair stockholders of $459 million, or $2.44 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025. HF Sinclair's Chief Executive Officer, Franklin Myers, commented, "Our third quarter performance reflects the strength and continued focus on safe, reliable execution of all our businesses. Importantly, we returned $572 million to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases, reinforcing our commitment to disciplined capital allocation and stockholder returns. Looking forward, we remain focused on safe and reliable operations, advancing our strategic priorities and positioning HF Sinclair to create long-term value for our stockholders." Refining segment income before interest and income taxes was $2,435 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to income of $476 million for the third quarter of 2025. The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $2,582 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $661 million for the third quarter of 2025. This increase was driven principally by the tight supply of transportation fuels across the markets, elevated crack spreads and benefits from the small refinery RINs waivers granted by the EPA. Additionally, stronger transportation fuel sales in the West region were offset by lower sales in the Mid-Continent region due to the planned turnaround at our El Dorado refinery. Adjusted refinery gross margin was $54.22 per produced barrel sold, a 183% increase compared to $19.16 for the third quarter of 2025. Crude charge averaged 614,060 barrels per day ("BPD") for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 639,050 BPD for the third quarter of 2025. Renewables segment income before interest and income taxes was $123 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to a loss of $55 million for the third quarter of 2025. Excluding the Lower of cost or market inventory valuation adjustment benefit of $30 million, the segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $109 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $(13) million in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted renewables gross margins increased as a result of improved RINs prices, higher Producer's Tax Credit benefits and increased sales volumes compared to the third quarter of 2025. Total sales volumes were 63 million gallons for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 57 million gallons for the third quarter of 2025. Marketing segment income before interest and income taxes was $31 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $22 million for the third quarter of 2025. The segment reported EBITDA of $39 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $29 million for the third quarter of 2025. Total branded fuel sales volumes were 420 million gallons for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 360 million gallons for the third quarter of 2025. Lubricants & Specialties segment income before interest and income taxes was $38 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $52 million for the third quarter of 2025. The third quarter results reflect special items related to the decision to retire our Mississauga, Ontario base oil refining assets (the "Mississauga Refinery"), with the transition expected to be substantially completed in the second half of 2027 (the "Mississauga Asset Retirement"). The Mississauga Asset Retirement costs include an impairment charge for the abandonment of certain assets under construction of $27 million, severance costs totaling $28 million and incremental accelerated depreciation and amortization charges of $54 million. Excluding these items, the segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $174 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to EBITDA of $78 million for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by sales mix optimization and strong product and base oil prices in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025. During the third quarter of 2026, we recognized a FIFO benefit of $22 million compared to a FIFO benefit of $2 million during the third quarter of 2025. Midstream segment income before interest and income taxes was $87 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $98 million for the third quarter of 2025. The segment reported Adjusted EBITDA of $101 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to EBITDA of $114 million for the third quarter of 2025. For the third quarter of 2026, net cash provided by operations totaled $1,784 million. At September 30, 2026, the Company's Cash and cash equivalents totaled $3,333 million, a $2,355 million increase compared to Cash and cash equivalents of $978 million at December 31, 2025. During the third quarter of 2026, the Company announced and paid a regular dividend of $0.525 per share to stockholders totaling $93 million and spent $479 million on share repurchases. Additionally, at September 30, 2026, the Company's consolidated debt was $2,774 million. On October 28, 2026, our Board declared a regular quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.525 per share, payable on December 2, 2026 to holders of record of common stock on November 12, 2026.
