On June 30, PBF Energy rose 8.88% in regular trading, trading at $46.97/share, with turnover of $124 million. The rally was primarily driven by TD Cowen upgrading PBF Energy from Sell to Hold on June 29, raising its price target from $36 to $39.

The upgrade removed a previously bearish signal on the stock, coinciding with broad strength across the refining sector. Peer stocks also advanced, with HF Sinclair up 4.42%, Valero up 3.97%, Marathon Petroleum up 3.51%, and Phillips 66 up 2.79%. PBF Energy significantly outperformed its peers, potentially reflecting anticipation of earnings recovery in the upcoming quarter, with consensus EPS estimated at $3.39 for Q2. Analysts polled by FactSet assign PBF an average Hold rating with a mean price target of $45.09.

Additionally, the company recently completed a $500 million senior notes offering to refinance higher-cost debt due 2028, and its Martinez refinery restart is expected to contribute to improved operational efficiency in the second half of the year.
