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]
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]
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]
Wednesday, April 3, 3:10 PM Commenting on the EPA's proposed Tier 3 rules, Northern Tier Energy (NTI -0.3%) says its St. Paul Park Refinery produces its gasoline in accordance with current standards, and proposed updated standards will have no material financial impact; preliminary assessments predict no capital spending will be needed to comply with the new rules. Shares had been down as much as 6.6% this morning. 2 Comments [Energy]
Wednesday, April 3, 11:17 AM Looks like another bad day for refiners on fears of increased costs from tougher standards on gasoline, even as BAML says yesterday's selloff of Valero (VLO -4.8%) was overdone. WNR -7.6%, PSX -6.9%, MPC -6.2%, ALJ -6.1%, NTI -5.3%, TSO -4.7%, HFC -4.7%. CVR Refining (CVRR -1.5%) is lower even after announcing estimated costs to meet Tier 3 standards are less than $20M. 21 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 2, 3:13 PM Valero (VLO -6%) says proposed new rules aimed at reducing sulfur content in gasoline would cost it hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment construction and upgrades alone. In addition to spending $300M-$400M initially to implement the rule, VLO also predicts operating costs would rise by an undetermined amount every year due to the rules proposed Friday by the EPA.

Tuesday, April 2, 2:29 PM Shares of refiners are taking a beating today, apparently on fears of increased costs from proposed tougher standards on gasoline. The EPA is proposing the so-called Tier 3 rules that will require refiners to reduce the sulfur content of gasoline to 10 parts per million by 2017 from 30 ppm. VLO -6.2%, TSO -3.5%, MPC -4.3%, ALJ -4.5%, PSX -3.1%, HFC -3.2%, WNR -4.8%, NTI -5.5%. 39 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
Monday, March 18, 2:44 PM Northern Tier Energy (NTI -2.5%) is downgraded to Hold from Buy at Cowen, which says NTI is nearing fair value with the benefits of its Bakken/Canadian crude slate already embedded in current valuation and given current peak cycle conditions. Concern over the rising cost of ethanol RINs could mount in 2014 upon increased ethanol blending requirements. 4 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Wednesday, March 13, 5:34 PM Northern Tier Energy (NTI): Q4 EPS of $1.08 misses by $0.37. Revenue of $1.24B beats by $0.11B. (PR) 6 Comments [Earnings, Breaking News, Energy]
Wednesday, March 13, 12:42 PM It's worth noting that Macquarie, in sounding the alarm over biofuels costs that could hurt earnings for refiners, thinks the problem won't hurt all refiners equally. It says the well positioned companies are those that are better integrated between refining and midstream product terminal assets that support self-blending of ethanol, such as MPC, NTI, TSO and WNR. 13 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
