PBF Energy rated Buy on tight refined product markets and high crack spreads amid supply disruptions.

PBF Energy is rated Buy due to structurally tight refined product markets caused by prolonged supply disruptions from Russia and the Gulf. The company's advanced refineries and logistics capabilities allow it to benefit from sustained high crack spreads, potentially around $10.5 per barrel and an EBITDA margin of 9%. The analyst's base case assumes continued offline Russian refining capacity and limited exports from India and China, supporting a price target of $137 for 2027 based on an 8x PE ratio. However, a key risk is a rapid normalization of global refining flows, which could sharply reduce margins and lower the price target to $37.
