Analysis · PBF · Energy & Transportation
Control Empresarial de Capitales S.A. de C.V. and the Slim Family have continued to reduce their stake in PBF Energy Inc. through a series of substantial share sales totaling approximately $98.87 million between March 16 and March 20, 2026. This ongoing divestment, which follows previous large sales reported in recent filings, has lowered their beneficial ownership from 20.8% (as of the prior 13D/A) to 19.3% of outstanding shares. The consistent selling by a major institutional investor, particularly while the stock trades near its 52-week high, could signal a lack of conviction in future upside or a strategic portfolio rebalancing. Investors should monitor future filings for further changes in their position.
