Right. So, HF Sinclair (DINO 10.84%). Another day, another potential crisis averted… or not. The numbers were, objectively, good. Actually good. But the market, as usual, decided to focus on everything else. Shares took a nearly 11% hit yesterday. Eleven percent! It’s enough to make one reconsider the entire concept of long-term investment. Though, frankly, I’ve been reconsidering that a lot lately.
The problem, as far as one can tell, is the CEO, Tim Go, has taken a “voluntary leave of absence.” Voluntary. That’s… reassuring? It’s like when someone says they’re “taking a break” from their marriage. You just know something is up. Franklin Myers, the chairperson, is stepping in as interim CEO. Which, fine. But it feels… temporary. Like putting a plaster on a broken leg.
And then there’s the audit committee. They’re “assessing certain matters relating to the company’s disclosure process.” Vague. So very, very vague. It’s the corporate equivalent of saying, “We need to talk.” One can only assume it involves something mildly unpleasant. They promise to finalize the review “as soon as possible.” Which, in corporate speak, translates to “sometime before the heat death of the universe.”
It’s a bit frustrating, really. Because the actual results were… well, good. Revenue for the quarter came in at $6.46 billion, only a tiny dip from last year. And they flipped to a net profit! $222 million, or $1.20 per share. Which, apparently, completely smashed analyst expectations of $0.63. Seriously, who is predicting these things? It’s like they’re throwing darts in a darkened room. They also beat the revenue consensus. A solid quarter, objectively. But overshadowed. Always overshadowed.
Units of DINO stock held: 247. Hours spent staring at the screen today: 7. Number of times I’ve considered becoming a shepherd: 3. It’s just… anytime a CEO suddenly goes on leave, it sets off alarm bells. It’s like when your cat starts acting strangely. You just know something is wrong, even if you can’t put your finger on it. And this “disclosure process” business? It’s not exactly instilling confidence. It’s a shame, because the numbers were genuinely good. But the lack of clarity is going to keep investors away, I suspect.
My current plan? Avoid. Just… avoid. Until we get a clearer picture of what’s going on. It’s not the most exciting strategy, admittedly. But sometimes, the most sensible thing to do is simply… wait. And perhaps, start researching sheep farms. One can dream.
