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.

Company News
HF Sinclair Corporation reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $5.31 per share, beating consensus estimates of $4.39 by 21%. Refining adjusted EBITDA reached $1.02 billion, with adjusted refinery gross margin rising to $25.95 per produced barrel from $16.50 year-over-year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings stands at $11.85 per share, up 19.8% over the past four weeks. Renewables adjusted EBITDA reached $123 million, reversing a $2 million loss from the prior year. The company generated $1.51 billion in operating cash flow and held $2.26 billion in cash at quarter-end. However, DINO now trades at 0.49 times forward sales, approaching its five-year high of 0.55 times and above the median of 0.32 times, reducing valuation cushion for investors.
Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan and HF Sinclair announce FID for Western Gateway refined products pipeline. 8/11/2026 12:00:00 PM Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan, Inc. and HF Sinclair Corporation announced they have finalized a joint venture agreement and made a final investment decision to move forward with the proposed Western Gateway Pipeline system (Western Gateway). Under the joint venture, Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan and HF Sinclair will own 49.9%, 35.1% and 15% of the system, respectively. "The final investment decision reflects the strength of this industry partnership. By combining the capabilities of Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan and HF Sinclair, Western Gateway is expected to strengthen fuel supply reliability and deliver a more cost-effective, resilient path for growing markets across the West," said Phillips 66 Chairman and CEO Mark Lashier. "This project will connect our Central Corridor and Gulf Coast refining assets to our West Coast and Southwest Marketing assets and demonstrates the value of our integrated business model and the opportunities it creates." Kinder Morgan CEO Kim Dang added, "This project brings together strategic supply access, existing infrastructure and experienced operators to improve affordability and assurance of supply for customers in the Western United States. Kinder Morgan is proud to contribute its long-standing presence and decades of experience safely and reliably serving the region's energy needs. We expect to earn attractive returns on our investment based on the incremental project earnings above those of our contributed assets." "We believe in the merits of Western Gateway and are proud to be a part of such a transformational endeavor shaping the fuels markets of the West," said Franklin Myers, CEO, HF Sinclair. Western Gateway is a proposed 1,300-mile refined products pipeline system that would create a new fuel supply path from St. Louis, Missouri, and expanded Gulf Coast origin points to Arizona and California. With a design capacity of 230,000 barrels per day, the project is also being developed to allow for future expansion with limited capital and no new pipe necessary as future demand requires. The project will include: * Approximately 900-mile new-build 20-inch and 24-inch pipeline from Borger, Texas, to Phoenix, Arizona. Phillips 66 will construct and operate the new-build pipeline. * Kinder Morgan's contribution of its existing SFPP East Line pipeline from El Paso, Texas to Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, and its SFPP West Line pipeline from Colton, California, to Phoenix, which would be reversed to move product east to west into California. Kinder Morgan will continue to operate those pipelines. * Supply to Western Gateway would also be supported by Phillips 66's Gold Pipeline, which will connect to the Explorer Pipeline. The Gold Pipeline would be reversed to allow refined products to flow toward Borger. The project's enterprise value is approximately $5 billion. Upon completion of the new build pipeline from Borger into Phoenix, Kinder Morgan's existing SFPP East Line and West Line assets would be contributed to the joint venture at a value of approximately $1.5 billion. Based on the approximately $5 billion enterprise value, Kinder Morgan will also make cash contributions of approximately $250 million. Phillips 66 would make cash contributions of approximately $2.5 billion, and HF Sinclair would make cash contributions of approximately $750 million to the project. The new system is underpinned by primarily 10-year, take-or-pay contracts. It is expected that the midstream project will generate attractive returns consistent with the high-quality, long-term contracted volumes that underpin the project. The Western Gateway project is targeting completion in 2029, subject to the receipt of all permits and regulatory approvals.
Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan, HF Sinclair approve Western Gateway Pipeline project. August 11, 2026 EnergyNow Media By Reuters (Reuters) - Phillips 66, Kinder Morgan and HF Sinclair said on Tuesday they have finalized a joint venture agreement and decided to proceed with the proposed $5 billion Western Gateway Pipeline system. Phillips 66 will own 49.9% of the joint venture, Kinder Morgan 35.1% and HF Sinclair 15%, they added. Companies have been racing to build a major new fuel pipeline to the U.S. West Coast ahead of planned refinery closures in California, a relatively isolated fuel market with limited pipeline links to major refining hubs that leave it vulnerable to supply disruptions and price spikes. The project is expected to be completed in 2029. Reporting by Pooja Menon in Bengaluru; Editing by Jonathan Ananda Share This:

HF Sinclair reported strong second-quarter 2026 results, with sales rising to $10.39 billion and net income reaching $892 million. The company also announced a 5% dividend increase to $0.525 per share. Alongside the earnings beat, HF Sinclair plans to end base oil refining at its Mississauga plant by 2027. The facility will shift to a blending and packaging hub under the Petro-Canada Lubricants brand, whilst Canada's largest base oil supply moves to imports and the company's Tulsa refinery. The dividend hike highlights management's commitment to returning cash despite restructuring costs and potential regulatory pressures. However, analysts note concerns about heavy capital and maintenance requirements across an ageing asset base. The company's narrative projects revenues of $28.3 billion and earnings of $932.6 million by 2029.
