U.S. refiners are girding for a painful slate of fourth-quarter earnings, reflecting the pressure of rising crude prices, weak demand due to renewed COVID-19 travel restrictions, and higher costs of associated with blending of renewable fuels into their products.

“[This] would mark the weakest quarter of the year,” said Matthew Blair, analyst at Tudor Pickering Holt and Co. Crude oil benchmarks rallied more than 20% in the quarter, which squeezed U.S. refining margins to less than $10 a barrel on average - the threshold for which most refiners make money - for the majority of the fourth quarter.

Delta Airlines’ refinery in Trainer, Pennsylvania, in early January posted a $102 million refining segment loss in the fourth quarter, and a $441 million loss on third party fuel sales. Credit Suisse analyst Manav Gupta said Phillips 66 will lose $1.16 per share in the quarter. He had originally anticipated a 30-cent loss, but changed that due to lower refining earnings in the Gulf Coast, West Coast and Midwest markets.
