| 90-day change | +88.7% |
| Forward EPS estimate | $17.86 |
Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect PBF to earn is materially higher (+88.7%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A fiscal-year roll fell inside this window: the forward horizon moved on to the next financial year, which shifts the earnings figure without any analyst changing their view. That step is excluded, so the number above covers the rest of the window rather than all of it.

PBF Energy Inc. (PBF): score, valuation & FAQ
PBF Energy Inc. (PBF) is an Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing company that scores 61.6 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A-), Rev (B+) and D/E (B+). On valuation, PBF sits about 27% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 1% next year, rising to 4% a year by year ten.
Is PBF a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores PBF 61.6 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by P/E (A-), Rev (B+) and D/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of PBF Energy Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does PBF score 61.6 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on quality at 69.3 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 50.0 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. PBF earns its highest marks on P/E (A-), Rev (B+) and D/E (B+). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so PBF is measured against Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is PBF overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $84.27, PBF sits about 27% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 1% next year, rising to 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 7.4x P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in PBF?
Net margin 3.9% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. Commodity exposure — earnings power tracks the price of the underlying commodity, not management execution. A 15-20% move in the commodity reprices the equity well before fundamentals catch up.
