Upturn Advisory & Investor View for DK

10/02/2026: DK (5-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Delek US Energy is a mid-sized downstream company operating in the refining, logistics, and retail fuel segments. The company has a regional focus in the Southwestern U.S., which allows it to capitalize on localized supply-demand dynamics. Its primary investment story rests on operational efficiency and potential growth in renewable fuels to offset long-term fossil fuel risks. However, investors must consider the significant risks posed by its sensitivity to commodity price volatility and the high capital intensity of its business. The stock may suit value-oriented investors who can navigate cyclical energy markets, but it remains a complex and volatile holding.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
DK receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
DK has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+95.9%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 0.2%), negative revenue growth (-9.5%), weak profitability (net margin -0.2%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
DK's financial health is supported by moderate cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (0.2% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is DK's strongest growth driver at +104.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+95.9%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (-9.5%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 105.5% and approximately 98.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.55% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.85%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 6.34%
State Street Corp 5.27%
Rubric Capital Management LP 4.39%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.34%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
DK generates approximately $53 of gross profit, $37 of operating income, and $2 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and solid capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -17.48% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
DK has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. No single quantitative factor dominates as a drawback.
