Here are the key news stories impacting Delek US this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Zacks Research lifted several near-term and FY2026 estimates (including Q4 2027, Q2 2026, Q4 2026 and FY2026), signaling modest improvement in the company’s earnings trajectory versus prior forecasts. That upgrade activity likely helped lift sentiment. Zacks Research Coverage
• Neutral Sentiment: The same Zacks slate of reports is mixed — while some quarters were bumped up, Zacks cut estimates for other periods (notably portions of 2025–2027), and the consensus full-year outlook remains deeply negative (FY consensus at -$5.50 EPS). This creates a mixed fundamental picture: short-term upside to estimates but continued longer‑term uncertainty. Zacks Research Coverage
