Fuel retailer Parkland Corp. has lowered its full-year earnings forecast as sluggish market conditions continue to take a bite out of margins at the company's Burnaby, B.C. refinery.
Crack spreads globally are currently low due to a variety of factors, including weak economic conditions that have reduced fuel demand in China as well as the U.S. government's sale of 1 million barrels of gasoline last quarter from its Northeast supply reserve, which pushed more fuel onto the market.
Many global oil majors are also reporting decreased third-quarter earnings due to weakness from their refining segments. Reuters reported Thursday that French giant TotalEnergies saw its third-quarter earnings hit a three-year low this year, in large part due to the collapse of refining margins. This is the second consecutive quarter the company has lowered its forecast, from $1.95 billion to $2.05 billion originally.
Both U.S.-based activist investor Engine Capital LP, as well as Parkland's largest shareholder Simpson Oil Ltd., have called on Parkland to conduct a review of strategic alternatives — including a possible sale of the company. Saskatchewan RCMP say that human remains found on Monday north of Lloydminster near the Alberta/Saskatchewan border were those of Serayne Kematch.
