Current thesis
Q1 showed a real operational rebound: company-reported results improved across refining, renewable diesel, and ethanol, and adjusted operating cash flow was $1.6 billion with continued shareholder returns [#8-K-2026-04-30]. Checked trusted follow-up sources support a beat-versus-consensus framing, but a full post-print analyst target-revision set was not available in the sources reviewed.
