This slump shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to investors, as the current year earnings consensus has moved lower for this independent refiner and marketer of petroleum products over the last 30 days, though there has been no negative revisions in the same time period. This suggests there may be more trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent slump will continue, as the earnings picture definitely suggests that this might be the case.
