Analysis · PBF · Energy & Transportation
Control Empresarial de Capitales S.A. de C.V., a significant 10% owner, has continued to reduce its stake in PBF Energy with a substantial sale of over $36 million in common stock. This transaction follows a pattern of significant insider selling by the Slim Family and Control Empresarial, which has seen over $165 million in net sales in the last 90 days. The ongoing distribution by a major shareholder, especially after the company reported a net loss for fiscal year 2025, could be interpreted as a lack of conviction in the company's near-term prospects and may exert downward pressure on the stock.
