Thursday, March 21, 7:42 AM In an attempt to simplify its structure, Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) agrees to acquire from Energy Transfer Equity (ETE) its interest in ETP Holdco for $1.4B in cash and $2.35B of newly issued ETP common units. ETP Holdco is the entity formed by ETP and ETE in 2012 to own the equity interests in Southern Union (SUG) and Sunoco (SUN). 5 Comments [Energy]
Thursday, November 8, 2012, 2:18 PM New Hampshire reaches a $35M settlement with Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) and Sunoco (SUN) of a lawsuit over claims the gasoline refiners and manufacturers used chemicals that contaminated groundwater. A trial against other defendants, including Exxon Mobil (XOM) and ConocoPhillips (COP), is set to begin in January. 2 Comments [Energy]
Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 2:17 PM Philadelphia Energy's (CG, SUN) 330K bbl/day oil refinery, the east coast's largest, says it is ramping up operations, joining Delta's (DAL) 185K bbl/day facility, which continued to run through the hurricane. The two refineries should help offset the shutdown of Phillips 66's (PSX) 238K bbl/day plant, which may be slow in going back online due to area flooding. Comment! [Energy]
Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 8:48 AM East coast refinery update (h/t Paul Ausick): Of the six large oil refineries in Sandy's path, the Phillips 66 (PSX) and Hess (HES) plants are closed, Philadelphia Energy's (CG, SUN) facility and two owned by PBF Energy are running at minimum levels, and the status of Delta's (DAL) refinery is unclear. Unlike Hurricane Katrina in 2005, crude production is not affected and refinery damage is not believed to be extensive. Comment! [Energy]
Monday, October 29, 2012, 3:32 AM Phillips 66 (PSX) yesterday began shutting its 238K bpd Bayway refinery in New Jersey in preparation for Hurricane Sandy, while Philadelphia Energy Solutions (CG, SUN), PBF Energy and Hess Corp (HES) have started to cut output at refineries in the storm's expected path. Phillips 66 has also temporarily shut oil terminals, while pipelines such as Colonial and Buckeye (BPL) have been preparing their contingency plans. Gasoline futures +1% at $2.73 a gallon. Comment! [U.S. Economy, Top Stories, Energy]
Friday, October 26, 2012, 9:38 AM If forecasts are accurate, Hurricane Sandy could hit land in the heart of the East Coast refining industry, potentially knocking both supply and demand for gasoline. The five East Coast refineries are located in the Philly area, Delaware and New Jersey, and can refine 1.2M bbl/day of gasoline or distillates; tanker traffic also could be affected. But the impact on the overall economy likely will prove minimal. 1 Comment [Energy, U.S. Economy]
Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 12:52 PM Preliminary results of the elections made by Sunoco (SUN +1%) shareholders regarding the form of merger consideration to be received in connection with Energy Transfer's (ETP +1.1%) pending acquisition show the cash consideration option was oversubscribed, as holders of nearly 74% of the stock elected that choice. The acquisition is expected to close Friday. 1 Comment [Energy, M&A]
Monday, October 1, 2012, 5:43 PM PetSmart (PETM) +2.5% AH on news the stock will be added to the S&P 500 after the close on Oct. 4, replacing Sunoco (SUN) following the latter's buyout by ETP. Cabela's (CAB) will replace PETM in the S&P MidCap 400; Acorda Therapeutics (ACOR) will replace CAB in the S&P SmallCap 600. Comment! [Consumer, Energy, On the Move]
Thursday, August 2, 2012, 4:58 PM Sunoco (SUN): Q2 EPS of $1.22 beats by $0.76. Revenue of $12.3B (+8% Y/Y) beats by $1B. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, Energy]

Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 1:27 PM Sunoco (SUN) declares $0.20/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 1.69%. For shareholders of record Aug 08. Payable Aug 27. Ex-div date Aug 06. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Monday, July 2, 2012, 8:23 AM Sunoco (SUN) and Carlyle Group (CG) reportedly reach agreement to keep SUN's 335K bbl/day Philadelphia refinery operational. The two companies have been in talks since April to keep the U.S. east coast's largest refinery open, and union members were expected to ratify a labor agreement, removing a hurdle to the deal; otherwise, the plant likely would be closed. Comment! [Energy]
Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 12:28 PM Union workers at Sunoco (SUN +1.6%) reportedly will vote Monday whether to accept a new contract with Carlyle Group (CG), the last step necessary for the PE firm to purchase SUN's Philadelphia refinery. The workers are expected to ratify the labor contract because the most likely alternative would be SUN shutting down the refinery. Comment! [Energy]
Thursday, June 14, 2012, 12:17 PM Carlyle Group (CG) is closing in on a deal to purchase Sunoco's (SUN) 330K bbl/day oil refinery in Philadelphia, CNBC's Kate Kelly reports. The exclusivity deal SUN and Carlyle signed in April is set to expire this Friday if a deal can’t be reached. If Carlyle does buy SunPhilly, the plant "will likely come on the cheap," according to the report. Comment! [Energy, M&A]
Tuesday, June 12, 2012, 11:41 AM These 20 stocks will do well no matter what, UBS says: SUN, KMI, NUE, MWV, MAS, IRM, WYNN, LEG, RAI, MO, BMY, JNJ, CINF, PBCT, SAI, PAYX, FTR, WIN, PGN, POM. These stocks boast strong dividend payouts, and "tend to provide the most consistent alpha without the need for more tactical management." 9 Comments [Quick Ideas]

ETP down 9% in 5 days. Yields nearly 8%. If it sells off in the AM I will add. Just had a nice SUN takeover and has lagged the MLP group.
