barrons3	Unless demand rebounds, shutting idle refineries and writing down their value could cause another hit to balance sheets. Many refiners managed to raise capital earlier this year, "but if the low-margin environment persists, they may need to tap the capital markets again," says Caris' Ann Kohler, who has Underperform ratings on refiners including Tesoro, Sunoco, Valero, Frontier Oil (FTO), Holly (HOC) and Western Refining (WNR). Although Valero boasts a strong balance sheet, Sankey contends that it has "just 10 more quarters, or 2.5 years, of liquidity available" unless its markets improve.	Love	August 29, 2009

barrons2	Keep an eye on the refiners, adds Pete Najarian. I love the action in Frontier (FTO) and Tesoro (TSO). Lower oil means input costs are less and margins at the refiners should improve.	Love	September 10, 2008

sarah z	Frontier Oil is in this week’s portfolio. The Houston-based hydrocarbon refiner recently added $100 million to its existing $200 million buyback plan. Under the existing plan the company has repurchased $188 million, or 5.1 million shares, with about $10 million still remaining. The company expects to complete the new buyback plan along with the left over shares by the end of 2007. And with $380 million in net cash, funding the increased buyback is easily affordable. Last month, Frontier Oil impressed shareholders with the most profitable quarter in company history. The company reported second quarter net income of $243.8 million, or $2.23 a share compared with net income of $145.9 million or $1.29 a share, for the same period in 2006. Revenue jumped to $1.4 billion from $1.3 billion. Although one of their plants shut down for 30 days, over 750 employees at their other facilities kicked it into high gear and produced record numbers, said management. CEO, Chairman and President of Frontier, James Gibbs said, "I had hinted in our first-quarter call that there would be a 30-day, plant-wide turnaround in May, but we didn't think we would see them in the results." He added, "This has exceeded even my expectations." Analysts at Caris & Company upgraded Frontier from Average to Above Average. The exceptional second quarter earnings caught there attention at first, but the equity research firm was also impressed by the solid margin and net cash growth. The firm believes FTO is attractive at its current valuation and expects the exceptional earnings to continue.	Love	September 05, 2007
