  • Refining + midstream + petrochemicals
  • US and international refineries, CPChem…

What could go right

  • Wide refining crack spreads

What could go wrong

  • Refining/petrochemical margin cyclicality
  • Activist investor pressure on structure

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).
