Analysis · SUN · Energy & Transportation
A standout quarter saw net income more than triple year-over-year to $283 million, while Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled to $996 million. The surge was fueled by recent acquisitions—most notably Parkland—which broadened fuel distribution, expanded terminals, and added a new refinery segment. Reflecting confidence in this momentum, management raised full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance by $400 million to a range of $3.5–$3.7 billion. The partnership also declared its seventh consecutive quarterly distribution increase, now $1.0023 per unit, up over 10% from a year ago. With the stock trading near its 52-week high, the strong operational performance and raised outlook reinforce the growth narrative, though leverage remains elevated at 3.7x net debt to Adjusted EBITDA.
