The brief

Sunoco distributes motor fuels and petroleum products like propane and lubricating oil to dealers, distributors, and retail locations across the United States [Yahoo Finance]. The company also operates an integrated network of refined product, crude oil, and ammonia pipelines and terminals, along with transmix processing facilities that provide blending, additive injection, and filtering services [Yahoo Finance].

Sunoco LP is a Dallas-based energy infrastructure company that distributes motor fuels across the United States through four business segments: fuel distribution, pipeline systems, refining, and terminals [Yahoo Finance]. The company recently announced it will transfer its stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the Texas Stock Exchange, and its shares hit an all-time high of $78.23 in September 2026 [Investing.com]. Trailing-twelve-month revenue through 30 June 2026 was $39.6 billion [Yahoo Finance].

Sunoco generated $39.6 billion in trailing revenue with solid free cash flow, but carries elevated debt at 5.0 times EBITDA and recently took a large one-time charge.

Figures come from company filings and market data. The Sentinellis health score and the wording attached to it are our interpretation of those figures, not numbers the company reported.

Not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell. Sentinellis holds no positions in the companies it covers, takes no payment from issuers, and has no broker referral arrangements.
