On the stock market since 2012, it operates in the world of energy. It has 3,678 employees. Now — the numbers.
The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.
The biggest line carries real weight, but it doesn’t decide everything on its own.
No real growth (2% a year). Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.
Before the clock runs out, either sales must climb sharply or new money must come in. For now, time is on the company’s side.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Clearly below the class average.
A solid grade overall — yet the debt outweighs the cash. The strength here comes from earnings power.
The price isn’t cheap next to earnings — that’s why this grade sits in the middle.
There is growth, but not at top-of-the-class tempo.
The stock has been running stronger than the market lately.
Business Quality: Profit power and business quality trail similar companies in the sector.
The stock trades near its peak today. For long-term holders the ride has paid off so far — though past performance guarantees nothing about the future.
It pays out $1.10 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
A loss of $158.5M against $29.3B in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
Over the last 12 months, executives reported 164 sells against just 40 buys. Not an alarm bell by itself, but a number worth watching.
The stock trades 23% above the average analyst price target.
On our five-subject report card, PBF sits in the middle of the class: some subjects shine, others don’t. The grade moves as the numbers move.
The takeaway: PBF has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
