On September 30, PBF Energy Inc rose 5.1% in regular trading, reaching $79.41 per share with turnover of $46.94 million, as refining stocks broadly rallied amid easing fears over a potential U.S. diesel export ban.

The rebound follows signals from U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who indicated a full diesel export ban is unlikely, stating the government is instead pursuing a cooperative, voluntary approach with refiners to boost domestic diesel supply. This softened stance marked a notable shift from earlier in the week, when President Trump publicly called for a ban in response to record diesel prices exceeding $6.50 per gallon. Analysts had warned that a full ban could force refiners to cut throughput by approximately 2 million barrels per day, paradoxically pushing up gasoline and jet fuel prices.

The broader Oil and Gas Refining and Marketing sector moved higher in tandem. Among peers, Delek US rose 5.85%, Phillips 66 gained 2.88%, HF Sinclair advanced 2.79%, Marathon Petroleum added 2.54%, and Valero climbed 2.45%. PBF Energy also enters this period on strong operational footing, having reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $6.22, far exceeding the $4.11 consensus estimate, with revenue of $11.68 billion beating expectations by nearly 19%.
