# Positive Outlook for HF Sinclair Corporation: Buy Rating Justified by Strong Operational Performance and Improved Segment Conditions

> Joe Laetsch has issued a Buy rating for HF Sinclair Corporation, citing strong operational performance and improved segment conditions. The refining segment is expected to benefit from increased benchmark cracks and higher crude throughput, while the Lubricants & Specialties division is projected to improve due to higher volumes. Despite challenges in the Renewables segment, stable results in Midstream and Marketing support the company's financial performance. Expected EBITDA figures exceed consensus estimates, reinforcing the positive outlook. Scotiabank also maintains a Buy rating with a $66.00 price target.

Joe Laetsch has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest a positive outlook for HF Sinclair Corporation. The company’s refining segment is expected to benefit from increased benchmark cracks and higher crude throughput following maintenance, although slightly weaker capture rates are anticipated. The Lubricants & Specialties division is projected to see improved performance due to higher volumes and better market conditions, which should help reverse some of the previous quarter’s headwinds.  
Despite challenges in the Renewables segment, such as declining benchmark margins and higher feedstock costs, the overall financial performance of HF Sinclair is supported by stable results in the Midstream and Marketing divisions. The company’s expected EBITDA figures exceed consensus estimates, indicating strong operational performance. These factors collectively contribute to a favorable investment thesis for HF Sinclair, justifying the Buy rating.

In another report released on October 9, Scotiabank also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $66.00 price target.
