10% owner Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA sells 100,000 shares of PBF at $54.52; stock now $60.89, up 45.4% in 30 days.

Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA sold 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) at $54.52 on 2026-07-10, reducing holdings from 15.81M to 15.71M shares while retaining 10% ownership. The sale occurred while PBF stock was near its 52-week high of $61.02 and ahead of a 45.4% 30-day gain that would follow the transaction. The insider has a pattern of prior open-market sells across multiple tickers with an average 90-day return of +4.0%, indicating the cross-ticker track record shows 90d well-timed rate 0.00%—prior sells have been followed by stock appreciation, not declines. The company reported annual revenue decline of -11.4% and full-year unprofitability despite recent quarterly net income of $198.3M on $7.9B revenue, providing mixed signals about the business trajectory.

10% Owner Control Empresarial sells 650,000 shares ($34.2M) at $52.66 avg; stock up 24.9% in 30d, -3.0% from 52-week high.

Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA, a 10% owner of PBF Energy, executed 2 separate sales totaling 650,000 shares for $34,229,682.00 on July 8-9, 2026, at a blended average price of $52.66. The sales reduced the filer's holdings by 650,000 shares (-3.9% of pre-transaction holdings), leaving 15,812,128 shares post-transaction. The timing occurs after a significant 30-day surge of +24.9% and near the 52-week high of $54.82 (current price of $53.18 is -3.0% from that peak). However, the underlying company fundamentals are deteriorating: PBF reported annual revenue growth of -11.4% and was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, despite latest-quarter revenue of $7,904,300,000.00 and net income of $198,300,000.00 in that quarter. The filer's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, suggesting no pattern of accurate exit timing across holdings. Without scheduled-trade or private-placement flagging, this appears to be a discretionary open-market sale near a 52-week high during a period of deteriorating annual fundamentals.

10% owner Control Empresarial sells 200,000 shares of PBF for $9.8M on 2026-07-06; stock up 24.8% in 30 days but company saw -11.4% revenue decline.

Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA, a 10% owner, executed 2 separate sales totaling 200,000 shares for $9,828,210.00 at a blended average price of $49.14 on 2026-07-06, reducing holdings by 1.2%. The transaction occurred as PBF's stock has appreciated 24.8% over 30 days and 30.5% over 90 days, trading near its 52-week high of $53.18. However, the underlying business faced material headwinds: revenue declined 11.4% year-over-year, and the company posted negative full-year net income despite recent quarterly revenue of $7.9B. The sale follows a pattern of 5 prior sales by this insider at PBF within the preceding week (2026-06-26 through 2026-07-01), suggesting an ongoing reduction in position rather than a discrete event.

Significance 5

Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA (10% owner) sold 200,000 shares of PBF at $46.94; stock has risen 15.9% in 30 days.

Control Empresarial, a significant 10% shareholder in PBF Energy, sold 200,000 shares at $46.94 on July 1, 2026, reducing holdings from 16.86M to 16.66M shares. The transaction is modest in scale relative to the shareholder's position (a 1.2% reduction) and occurs at a price -5.6% below the 52-week high. PBF's operational backdrop shows revenue contraction of 11.4% year-over-year and full-year unprofitability, though the current quarter generated $198.3M in net income on $7.9B revenue. The stock has appreciated 15.9% over 30 days and 6.7% over 90 days post-transaction. The seller's cross-ticker track record shows a 100% well-timed rate on 20 prior sales (avg 90d return -13.1%), but this same-ticker history at PBF shows only two measurable 30-day outcomes (both slightly negative, -6.8% and -6.5%), with no completed 90-day measurements yet. The timing of this particular sale—into a post-transaction rally—appears unfavorable relative to the recent price momentum.

10% Owner Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA sold 850,000 shares for $39,486,054.00 at PBF; reduced stake -4.8%

Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA, a 10% owner of PBF Energy, executed 3 separate sales totaling 850,000 shares for $39,486,054.00 across two trading days (June 29–30, 2026), reducing its stake from 17,712,128 to 16,862,128 shares. The blended average price of $46.45 sits 7.9% below the current price of $48.04, and the stock is up 14.8% over the past 30 days and 5.8% over 90 days. At the same-ticker level, the filer's prior 5 trades at PBF have yielded mixed results: 2 measurable 30-day outcomes both negative (−6.8% and −6.5%), with 90-day outcomes not yet available. Fundamentally, PBF faces headwinds—revenue declined 11.4% year-over-year and the company posted negative net income over its most recent full fiscal year, though the latest quarter showed $7.9B in revenue and $198.3M net income. The substantial dollar volume and multi-day execution pattern suggest a material reduction in position by a significant shareholder during a period of operational weakness.

Significance 6

10% owner Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA sells 405,570 shares for $17.2M across 2 days; remains largest holder with 17.71M shares post-transaction.

Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA, a 10% owner of PBF Energy, executed 2 separate sales totaling 405,570 shares for $17,193,447.40 at a blended average price of $42.39 on 2026-06-25 and 2026-06-26. Despite the sale, the filer retains 17,712,128 shares post-transaction, maintaining its position as the company's largest shareholder. The sales occur against a backdrop of significant operational headwinds: PBF's annual revenue declined 11.4% and the company posted negative full-year net income, with latest quarterly revenue of $7,904,300,000.00 and net income of $198,300,000.00. The stock is currently trading at $46.43, up 14.1% over the past 30 days but down 2.5% over 90 days and 11.0% from its 52-week high of $52.18, suggesting recent volatility despite the long-term weakness. This transaction is noteworthy as a large-scale, multi-day disposition by the controlling shareholder during a period of deteriorating financial performance.

Significance 7

10% owner Control Empresarial sold 100,000 shares of PBF at $43.17; stock now $40.35, down -22.7% from 52-week high.

Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA, a 10% shareholder, sold 100,000 shares (100.0K shares) at $43.17 on 2026-06-05 for $4,316,950.00, reducing holdings from 18,217,698 to 18,117,698 shares. The sale is notable given the insider's track record: across all prior open-market sales, the 90-day well-timed rate is 100.00%, and at PBF specifically, all 5 prior sales (conducted in late April and early May 2026) proved well-timed at the 90-day mark, with 90-day returns ranging from -2.2% to -7.3%. The current price of $40.35 is -22.7% from the 52-week high of $52.18, indicating the stock has declined since the June sale. Additionally, PBF's fundamentals show deterioration: annual revenue growth is -11.4%, and the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, even though latest-quarter revenue is $7,904,300,000.00. The pattern of this insider's repeated well-timed exits from PBF, combined with the company's negative full-year profitability and declining revenues, suggests a consistent directional thesis rather than a one-time portfolio adjustment.

Control Empresarial sells 251,000 PBF shares for $10.9M at $43.56–$43.58; 5 of 5 prior PBF sales were well-timed, stock down 7.4% in 30d.

Control Empresarial DE Capitales DE C.V. SA (10% owner) executed two separate sales totaling 251,000 shares for $10,937,543.30 on 2026-06-02 and 2026-06-03 at a blended average price of $43.58, reducing holdings by 1.4% to 18,217,698 shares. The insider's prior five sales at PBF all posted negative 90-day returns, with a 100.00% well-timed rate, establishing a consistent pattern of selling ahead of declines. The current price of $42.76 is 18.0% below the 52-week high of $52.18 and down 7.4% over 30 days, suggesting recent weakness following the sale dates. This activity occurs against a backdrop of fundamental pressure: the company reported -11.4% annual revenue growth and was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, indicating operational challenges that may have informed the insider's exit timing.

Significance 3

Large 10% owner liquidates 420,000 PBF shares across three trades; stock trades below 52-week highs despite recent rally.

Control Empresarial De Capitales S.A. De C.V., a ten-percent institutional holder, sold 420,000 shares of PBF Energy across three transactions in early May at prices ranging from roughly $44.75 to $45.91 per share, totaling nearly $19.1 million in dispositions. This represents the 65th, 66th, and 67th open-market sale by this investor over the past three years—a pattern of consistent portfolio management rather than insider insight, since the filer is an institutional holder without officer or director status. Notably, every one of this investor's five prior sales at PBF saw the stock fall afterward, suggesting a disciplined track record of exiting before further declines. The current sale comes as PBF trades well below its 52-week high, even though the stock has rallied over the past three months; underlying fundamentals show the company is unprofitable with declining revenue, creating a structural headwind. The disposal size and this investor's clean exit timing on prior PBF sales merit monitoring to confirm whether additional institutional liquidation may follow.

Significance 3

10% owner Control Empresarial de Capitales divests ~365K shares of PBF Energy in two trades totaling ~$15.9M.

Control Empresarial de Capitales, a 10% institutional holder of PBF Energy, liquidated roughly 365,000 shares across two consecutive days in late April, generating approximately $15.9 million in proceeds. This represents routine portfolio rebalancing by a fund or investment vehicle rather than insider conviction, since the filer holds no officer or director position and therefore lacks operational knowledge of the company. The stock is trading notably below its recent highs and has pulled back over the past month, which is a natural time for portfolio managers to trim positions for liquidity or rebalancing needs. PBF Energy's fundamentals remain challenged—the company is unprofitable with declining revenue—making this institutional sale appear more consistent with prudent fund management than a vote of confidence in the business.
