Upturn Advisory & Investor View for DKL

10/30/2026: DKL (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Delek Logistics Partners LP is a midstream energy company that manages crude oil and refined product gathering, transportation, and storage assets. As an MLP, the stock is primarily designed for income-focused investors who value its history of steady distributions supported by long-term, fee-based contracts. Its main strengths include a strategic integration with Delek US Holdings, which provides a reliable customer base for its core infrastructure. However, the partnership faces risks related to its concentration of customers, geographic reach, and the long-term energy transition. Investors should monitor the company's ability to diversify its revenue sources and manage leverage effectively to maintain its competitive position in the shifting energy market.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
DKL receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
DKL has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+23.7%) and solid profitability (net margin 17.4%) are partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -3.0%), moderate revenue growth (+7.7%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
DKL's financial health is supported by moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 2.9% of revenue). Overall financial-health metrics support a 3-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is DKL's strongest growth driver at +23.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-141.1%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 23.2% and approximately 37.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 58.86% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Amvescap Plc. 2.62%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 0.91%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
DKL generates approximately $209 of gross profit, $180 of operating income, and $-30 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Negative free cash flow explains the 2-star rating, with weak cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.26%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
DKL has a high-quality, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
