Saturday, May 4, 3:52 PM Barron's is out with its list of the 500 financially strongest companies as ranked after a rigorous cash and sales analysis. A quick filter on the list shows a good chunk of the names trade with a single-digit price to earnings ratio including Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT). Despite all the buzz about booming auto sales in the U.S. and China, concerns about growth for Goodyear's products in other regions of the globe have lowered expectations. But with auto sale estimates for full-year being taken higher, Goodyear could see enough consistent revenue growth to justify a higher trading multiple.

Wednesday, April 17, 5:50 PM Deutsche Bank lowers its stock target prices on several refiners, expecting weak margins to weigh on earnings in Q2 and in 2013 as producing gasoline gets less profitable. The new target for Buy-rated Holly Frontier (HFC) is $58, down from $68. Hold-rated refiners with reduced targets: ALJ, CLMT, CVI, DK, MPC, PBF, PSX, TSO, VLO, WNR. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Friday, April 12, 12:26 PM Oppenheimer points to four reasons that may allow refining stocks to recover from their recent selloff: continued wide differentials between WTI and Brent pricing; continued cheap natural gas; growing diesel and gasoline imports; declining environmental spending. But it's another difficult day for sector stocks the firm likes: HFC -1.2%, MPC -3.5%, PSX -2.9%, TSO -1.6%, VLO -2.8%. 7 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Thursday, April 11, 6:21 PM HollyFrontier (HFC) and Holly Energy Partners (HEP) say they plan to construct a rail facility enabling crude oil loading and unloading near HFC's New Mexico refining facilities.

Thursday, April 11, 3:33 PM Phillips 66 (PSX -2.9%) shares slump as it reports an emission at its Rodeo refinery in California related to an unplanned unit shutdown. It's part of a broad slump in refiners today, picking up pessimism in the sector which has led to sharp recent losses: VLO -4.8% (despite a plug by Jim Cramer), HFC -4.4%, TSO -3.3%, MPC -3.2%, WNR -2.9%, CVI -2.4%, ALJ -2.3%, NTI -2.2%. 4 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
Friday, April 5, 12:49 PM Refiners are mixed today - VLO +1%, TSO +1%, PSX -0.2% - as the sector licks its wounds after this week's selloff, and Dimitra DeFotis of Barron's suggests its time to take profits as the market recognizes the stocks have come too far too fast. In particular, Tesoro and Marathon Petroleum (MPC) are up 106% and 99% Y/Y, respectively. 3 Comments [Energy]
Thursday, April 4, 2:35 PM Cowen's Sam Margolin notes gasoline margins have fallen 35% since March 8, which may keep refiner stocks volatile near-term, but he likes the medium-term picture as prices stabilize. Top drivers of refining stock performance over the past two years - accelerated return of cash, monetization of secondary assets, feedstock cost advantages vs. competing global refineries - remain in place for the coming year. 5 Comments [Energy]
Thursday, April 4, 12:34 PM Refiners recoup a sliver of losses from their two-day slide following concerns about looming expenses from newly announced emissions regulations. Barclays believes refiners are fundamentally cheap for long-term investors, the EPA's new rules are "not as bad as it seems" and the Brent/WTI spread should widen. VLO +1.1%, TSO +0.6%, WNR +3.9%, MPC +1.5%, ALJ +3.1%, HFC +1.3%, CVI +1.8%. 4 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 3, 5:15 PM Most troubling for refiners amid a two-day rout: Crack spreads have tumbled recently, with gasoline at a premium of $29.81/bbl to WTI today; it was $33 a week ago. As Bloomberg notes, the narrowing is due to a decline in gasoline prices, which hurts refiners: "People are factoring in some refineries coming back online, and we’ve yet to see any pick-up in demand,” one analyst says. 7 Comments [Energy]
