# Major Stakeholder Makes Bold Move in PBF Energy Stock Shake-Up

New insider activity at PBF Energy ( (PBF) ) has taken place on July 8, 2026.

Carso De-C Inmobiliaria, listed among additional reporting persons (see Exhibit 99-1), has executed a sizable stock sale in PBF Energy, disposing of 200,000 shares. The transaction is valued at $9,828,000, marking a notable move in the company’s ownership position in PBF Energy.

PBF Energy shares have nearly doubled over the past year, with analysts citing the Martinez refinery restart and stronger refining margins after the Strait of Hormuz disruption as key drivers already largely reflected in the current valuation. TD Cowen’s recent stance shift is driven by the company emerging from a difficult operational period into an environment of robust margins, where PBF is seen as having outsized earnings leverage to refining cracks and the potential to generate significant free cash flow this year.

**Spark’s Take on PBF Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PBF is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak cash flow (negative free cash flow) and soft technical momentum. These are partially offset by attractive valuation (low P/E and a dividend) and a neutral earnings-call backdrop that includes operational restart progress and cost-savings execution, but also meaningful near-term earnings and working-capital headwinds.
