Key Takeaways
HF Sinclair's Q2 EPS estimate of $4.39 implies 158.2% growth, with revenues seen rising 10.5%.
Higher oil prices likely raised refining input costs for gasoline, diesel and other products.
High U.S. refinery utilization and resilient demand may have largely offset elevated input costs.
HF Sinclair Corporation (DINO - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2026 results on July 28, before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, its earnings of 69 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 15 cents. The refining player’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 203.6%. This is depicted in the graph below:
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share of $4.39 has been revised upward over the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a 158.2% improvement from the prior-year reported number.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $7.5 billion implies a 10.5% increase from the year-ago recorded figure.
Factors to Consider for DINO
To have an idea of how oil prices behaved in the June quarter, let's analyze the commodity prices from the data provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”). The average Cushing, OK, WTI spot prices for April, May and June of this year were $100.32 per barrel, $102.13 per barrel and $84.81 per barrel, respectively, per EIA data. Commodity prices were $63.54 per barrel, $62.17 per barrel and $68.17 per barrel, respectively, in April, May and June of 2025, according to the EIA.
A constructive oil-price backdrop, driven by the Iran war, is likely to have hurt the refining business of HF Sinclair, since the input costs to produce final products like gasoline, diesel fuel and others were higher.
However, the high utilization of refineries in the United States to meet resilient demand is likely to have largely offset the negative effects of high input costs.
