Hedgeye analyst Fernando Valle noted that while there are several options for the EPA to consider, it is expected to take measures to mitigate the impact on future RINs while providing court-mandated relief to impacted small refiners. Valle expects a favorable resolution could result in material one-time gains (100%) and improvements in profitability for Delek [1].
Shares of Delek (DK) rose 1.6% on Friday following the announcement, reflecting investor optimism about the potential positive impact on the company's financial performance [1]. Delek US Holdings, Inc. (DK) targets a run rate of $130M–$170M in earnings per operating period cash flow uplift by the end of 2025, aiming to advance its DKL separation [2].
InPlay Oil Corp. (TSE: IPO), which recently completed an acquisition of Cardium light oil assets, has seen a 138% increase in adjusted funds flow in Q2 2025, driven by operational efficiency and strategic hedging. InPlay's partnership with Delek Group, which now holds a 32.7% stake, further underscores the potential benefits of Delek's strategic alignment with high-yield energy investments [2].
