What Delek US does

Operates petroleum refineries in the US Gulf Coast, Permian and Rockies, plus retail fuel stores and midstream logistics.

Buys crude, refines it and sells the products at market prices, so profit is the refining margin, the gap between product prices and crude cost, which swings with supply and demand. Delek Logistics, a majority-owned pipeline and terminal partnership, earns fees for moving and storing crude and fuels, much of it for Delek's own refineries, and pays cash back to the parent.

Products and services

  • Retail fuel/convenience stores
  • Delek Logistics (majority-owned midstream MLP)

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Energy
  • Refining/marketing
  • Petroleum refining, retail & midstream…

What could go right

  • Wide crack spreads/refining margin upside
  • Permian crude advantage for Gulf Coast refineries

What could go wrong

  • Refining margin (crack spread) cyclicality
  • Regulatory/environmental compliance costs

Moat: narrow (scale, installed base). Regional refining scale and owned logistics/retail integration, but exposed to refining margin cycles.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
