Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (CLMT) Q4 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

INDIANAPOLIS , Feb. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: CLMT) (the "Partnership," "Calumet," "we," "our" or "us"), announced today plans to report results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 on February 23, 2024.

Calumet Specialty Products is experiencing a falling knife pattern in the market. The company is comprised of three businesses, all of which are now performing well generating significant levels of excess cash. Calumet has several strategies in place to manage its debt, including a possible DOE loan and a partial equity sale of one of its businesses.

Calumet Specialty Products announced significant changes and operating results for September, falling short of potential due to operating issues. Montana Renewables demonstrated positive financial results in July but faced challenges with a crack in a steam drum in August. Calumet is on track to complete a turnaround and expects to add new regionally available supply in the New Year.

Calumet Specialty Products investors face a quandary on which way the price will head, but I believe it will go higher. The chart shows a bullish pattern, with a breakout potentially putting the price at $24-$25. Strong crack spread support and positive financial results support the belief that the price will increase.
