Wells Fargo lowered the firm’s price target on PBF Energy to $39 from $51 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The analyst believes cracks have bottomed, diesel demand is improving, lower prices and payrolls support gasoline demand and refined product inventories are below normal. Rising OPEC+ production in 2025 should widen crude diffs favoring coastal refiners, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Wells thinks Western Hemisphere refining capacity expansions are limited as planned closures in 2025 offset gains from recent startups and biofuel expansions.
