PBF Energy normalized EV/EBITDA valuation

PBF Energy valuation using normalized EV/EBITDA. The model values the refining business on a mid-cycle adjusted EBITDA assumption rather than annualizing the latest quarter, because Q2 2026 benefited from unusually strong refining margins, Martinez insurance recoveries, and working-capital reversal. Fair value equals normalized EBITDA times the target EV/EBITDA multiple, less net debt, divided by fully-converted diluted shares.

  1. October 2 Model Edge reference PBF quote $80.78, refreshed 2026-10-02T17:10:06.44846-06:00. Price alone is not evidence to change operating forecasts; BRUN separately refreshes the existing peer-relative valuation. (accessed 2026-10-02)
  2. September 30 ABL amendment raises maximum capacity to $4B, extends maturity to September 2031 and lowers unused fees with interest terms substantially unchanged. The 8-K discloses capacity, not a new drawn cash/debt balance. Preserve $2.1B normalized EBITDA, 4.8x, Torrance-adjusted $1.242B net debt and 121.1M diluted shares pending actual exchangeable-note/refinancing and cash-flow reconciliation. — modeledge.ai (accessed 2026-10-02)
  3. September 15 review of the September 14 pricing release: $500M 0% exchangeable notes priced with expected September 17 settlement and $50M option; estimated net proceeds $485M, capped-call cost $25.2M, remaining funds plus cash intended to redeem 7.875% 2030 notes. The $96.80 initial exchange price and $123.20 capped-call cap do not imply immediate issuance of all 5.1653M underlying shares: principal is settled in cash. Closing/redemption is not yet confirmed, so retain the existing Torrance-adjusted debt/cash and 121.1M-share bridge. Potential dealer hedging described by the issuer may support price near pricing; it is not proof of the cause of today's 6.14% rise. Holder sale is not issuer dilution. — sec.gov (accessed 2026-09-15)
  4. September 15 reference PBF share price $74.72; provider quote update 2026-09-15T15:01:39.127388-06:00. Stock-price movement alone does not change the operating forecast. (accessed 2026-09-15)
  5. September 9 Torrance hydrogen purchase closed: $44.8M cash consideration plus $342.2M promissory-note debt including contingent value. Roll June 30 cash $894.1M to $849.3M and debt $1,749.1M to $2,091.3M, yielding pro-forma net debt $1,242M before unreported interim cash flow. Operating leases were excluded from the original net-debt bridge, so their derecognition is not a second debt reduction. Keep $2.1B normalized EBITDA, 4.8x multiple and 121.1M diluted shares. Proposed $500M exchangeable notes, $50M option and $3.5B-$4B revolver are not closed/drawn funding. — sec.gov (accessed 2026-09-14)
