Upturn Advisory & Investor View for PARR

10/16/2026: PARR (3-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 29 days. Simulated Profits (1.63%). Updated daily EoD!

Par Pacific Holdings Inc is an energy company focused on refining and marketing petroleum products in geographically isolated regions, primarily Hawaii and the Western US. Its primary strength lies in its integrated network of refineries and retail assets that benefit from reduced competition in its localized markets. While the company offers exposure to energy market cycles, it lacks a consistent dividend policy, making it more suitable for investors focused on growth and cyclical recovery. Key risks include heavy reliance on refining margins, vulnerability to environmental regulations, and potential volatility in fuel demand. Investors should monitor the progress of renewable energy initiatives and the company's ability to maintain high operational margins.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
PARR receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
PARR has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+1208.5%) is partially offset by soft cash generation (FCF margin 4.0%), negative revenue growth (-6.4%), soft profitability (net margin 4.9%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PARR's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (4.0% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is PARR's strongest growth driver at +1208.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+672.7%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (-6.4%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 104.0% and approximately 97.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.63% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 14.31%
State Street Corp 6.68%
Amvescap Plc. 5.48%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.25%
American Century Companies Inc 4.21%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
PARR generates approximately $181 of gross profit, $72 of operating income, and $40 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins explain the 2-star rating, with soft cash conversion and solid capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 23.18%

Quantitative Style Profile

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