Record Diesel Cracks and $2B Securitization Boost Phillips 66
PSX sits 99% above its 52-week low of $122.25.
Summary
Phillips 66's refining earnings are getting a lift from record diesel crack spreads, with WTI-to-diesel topping $100/boe. The company also strengthened liquidity by expanding its receivables securitization to $2.0B, adding a $250M tranche and extending maturity to Aug 19, 2027. This follows a strong Q2 where net income surged to $3.8B on exploding refining margins. The securitization adds financial flexibility at a time when management has flagged near-term volatility in refining and petrochemical earnings. Watch for sustained diesel spread strength and any further capital structure moves.
