The total consideration for the potential acquisition is approximately $530 million, which will be funded through a mix of cash resources and debt.
This includes a non-recourse amortizing debt facility of up to $345 million, led and arranged by Macquarie Bank Limited, highlighting the assets&#8217; secure and strong cash generation profile.

A bankruptcy judge has approved a crucial settlement between the joint venture behind Exxon Mobil Corporation&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xom#NYSE">XOM</a>) $10-billion Golden Pass liquefied natural gas project in Texas and the lead contractor, Zachry Holdings Inc. The decision allows other companies to take over and complete the project, which had faced significant delays.
Located near the Louisiana border, the Golden Pass LNG facility&#39;s construction had been nearly halted after Zachry Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March. The filing came after the project, known as GPX, experienced cost overruns totaling at least $2.4 billion beyond its original budget. Consequently, Zachry Holdings let go of thousands of workers, severely impacting the construction timeline.
QatarEnergy holds a 70% stake in the Golden Pass LNG venture, while ExxonMobil owns the rest. The approved settlement involves transferring Zachry&#39;s unfinished work to CB&amp;I LLC, a unit of McDermott International Inc., and Chiyoda International Corp. However, the timeline for restarting construction and completing the project remains uncertain. The first LNG cargoes were initially expected in the first half of 2025.
The settlement fully resolves the financial and legal disputes among the parties involved. Zachry Holdings stated that the agreement would expedite its bankruptcy restructuring process, allowing the company to emerge stronger and better positioned for growth.
The Golden Pass LNG project, situated at the Sabine Pass site of a former gas-import terminal, is designed to process natural gas for LNG exports. It is one of two significant U.S. LNG facilities slated to considerably boost the supply of superchilled fuel from the world&#39;s top exporter within the next 12 months.
The development marks a significant step forward for the Golden Pass LNG project, which has faced numerous challenges and delays. This ambitious project aligns with ExxonMobil&#39;s strategic vision to enhance the natural gas supply chain from the world&#39;s leading exporter.

Phillips 66&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/psx#NYSE">PSX</a>) has taken a significant step in modernizing its data protection operations by selecting Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security and management.
Before implementing Cohesity&#39;s innovative solutions, Phillips 66&#39;s data protection strategy relied on five disparate and siloed tools. This fragmented approach required backup teams to spend considerable time managing these tools, leading to inefficiencies, decreased productivity and escalating cloud costs.
After a thorough competitive evaluation, Phillips 66 selected Cohesity DataProtect to consolidate its data protection efforts into a single, unified platform. This strategic decision aimed to reduce management overhead, secure critical assets and lower cloud service expenses. By transitioning to Cohesity&#39;s platform, Phillips 66 anticipates significant reductions in the time spent managing multiple tools, enabling its backup team to concentrate on other value-adding business activities.
In addition to operational efficiencies, Cohesity has significantly strengthened Phillips 66&#39;s data security protocols. Leveraging powerful AI capabilities and advanced encryption methods, Cohesity ensures the protection of sensitive data from potential threats, both internal and external. This comprehensive security framework ensures that Phillips 66&#39;s valuable data is protected against unauthorized access.
PSX&#39;s decision to modernize its data protection operations with Cohesity will drive substantial cost savings over three years. Eliminating redundant tools and consolidating data protection processes into a single platform reduce cloud service costs and free up resources previously allocated to managing multiple tools.
This collaboration comes at a crucial time when businesses seek ways to optimize their data protection operations in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. With cyber threats on the rise, organizations must adopt advanced solutions that seamlessly integrate with their existing IT infrastructure while providing robust data security.
The collaboration marks a critical move for Phillips 66, aiming to enhance data security, streamline management processes and achieve substantial cost savings. The success of PSX in modernizing its data protection operations underscores Cohesity&#39;s expertise in the field.

Phillips 66 Modernizes Data Protection Operations

Enbridge&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/enb#NYSE">ENB</a>) is once again under scrutiny as the U.S. Department of Justice (&quot;DOJ&quot;) has proposed amendments to a 2016 consent decree. This change could mandate Enbridge to address previously identified cracks in its extensive Lakehead pipeline system, including the controversial Line 5.
The backdrop to this development dates back to 2010 when two significant oil spills from ENB&#39;s pipelines near Marshall, MI, and Romeoville, IL, resulted in severe environmental damage. These spills led to the unlawful discharge of oil into U.S. waters, triggering a lawsuit by the United States under the Clean Water Act and the Oil Pollution Act. The legal action sought civil penalties, recovery of cleanup costs and injunctive relief to prevent future incidents.
In 2017, a Consent Decree approved by the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan established stringent requirements for Enbridge&#39;s network of 14 pipelines, collectively known as the Lakehead System. This decree included specific criteria for selecting and repairing pipeline sections, imposing interim pressure restrictions, and monitoring for features such as cracks detected through In-Line Inspections.
The latest proposed modifications specifically target how Enbridge handles circumferential cracks that encircle the pipeline rather than running lengthwise. These changes would require Enbridge to reassess such cracks using new methodologies tailored to the unique threats posed by circumferential cracks. This reassessment would consider all potential stresses that could cause these cracks to grow and ultimately fail, obligating ENB to schedule any necessary repairs promptly.
The impetus for these proposed changes can be traced back to the catastrophic 2010 oil spill from Enbridge&#39;s Line 6b near Marshall, MI. This rupture released more than a million gallons of oil into Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River, going undetected for several hours and causing extensive environmental damage.
The DOJ and Enbridge reached a settlement agreement in 2016 to resolve the lawsuits stemming from the Marshall and Romeoville spills. Now, with the proposed amendments, the DOJ aims to ensure that ENB takes more proactive and comprehensive measures to address pipeline integrity issues, particularly focusing on circumferential cracks.
The Lakehead System, which spans the Midwest, includes Line 5, a 71-year-old pipeline that runs beneath the ecologically sensitive Straits of Mackinac. This segment of the pipeline has been a focal point of environmental concerns and legal battles, with advocates calling for its shutdown due to the potential risk of an oil spill in the Great Lakes.
Once approved, the proposed changes to the consent decree could significantly impact Enbridge&#39;s operations, compelling the company to adopt enhanced safety measures and ensure the long-term integrity of its pipeline network. This move underscores the ongoing efforts by federal authorities to mitigate environmental risks and hold energy companies accountable for the safe operation of their infrastructure.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell mentioned that the country is returning to a disinflationary path, though more data is needed before rate cuts can be confidently implemented. The Fed currently plans for just one rate cut by the end of the year, but the timing remains uncertain, and analysts believe the Fed will proceed cautiously.
In this elevated interest rate environment, value investing could be an effective approach. Value investing seeks to profit from investing in stocks that appear to be trading at a discount to their intrinsic values and eventually make handsome returns when the stock price rises toward that value, reflecting the actual fundamentals.
One interesting ratio that you can consider for ferreting out attractively valued stocks is earnings yield. Stocks like&nbsp;Harmony Biosciences (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hrmy#NASDAQ">HRMY</a>),&nbsp;GeoPark Ltd. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gprk#NYSE">GPRK</a>),&nbsp;GigaCloud Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gct#NASDAQ">GCT</a>), Costamare Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cmre#NYSE">CMRE</a>) and&nbsp;Arko Corp.&nbsp;ARKO boast impressive earnings yield to help you fetch handsome long-term rewards.
<h3>Earnings Yield Strength</h3>
Earnings yield, expressed in percentage, is calculated as annual earnings per share divided by market price. This metric measures the anticipated yield (or return) from earnings for each dollar invested in a stock today. While comparing stocks, if other factors are similar, the ones with higher earnings yield are considered undervalued, while those with lower earnings yield are seen as overpriced.
While earnings yield is nothing but the reciprocal of the P/E ratio, it is a little more illuminating than the traditional P/E ratio as it also facilitates the comparison of stocks with fixed-income securities. Investors often compare the earnings yield of a stock to the prevailing interest rates, such as the current 10-year Treasury yield, to get a sense of the return on investment it offers compared to virtually risk-free returns.
If the yield on a stock is lower than the 10-year Treasury yield, it would be considered overvalued relative to bonds. Conversely, if the yield on the stock is higher, it would be considered undervalued. In this situation, investing in the stock market would be a better option for a value investor.
<h3>The Winning Strategy</h3>
We have set&nbsp;an&nbsp;Earnings Yield greater than 10%&nbsp;as our primary screening criterion but it alone cannot be used for picking stocks that have the potential to generate solid returns. So, we have added the following parameters to the screen:
Estimated EPS growth for the next 12 months greater than or equal to the S&amp;P 500: This metric compares the 12-month forward EPS estimate with the 12-month actual EPS.
Average Daily Volume (20 Day) greater than or equal to 100,000: High trading volume implies that a stock has adequate liquidity.
Current Price greater than or equal to $5.
Buy-Rated Stocks: Stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) have been known to outperform peers in any type of market environment.
<h3>Our Picks</h3>
Here we highlight five of the 30 stocks that qualified the screening:

<h3>Factors Driving the Stock</h3>
<h3>Favorable Style Score</h3>
PBF Energy has an impressive&nbsp;Value Score&nbsp;of A. Value Score helps find stocks that are undervalued. Back-tested results have shown that stocks with a favorable Value Score and a solid Zacks Rank are the best investment bets.
<h3>Impressive Earnings Surprise History</h3>
PBF Energy&#39;s bottom line has outpaced estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the same once.
<h3>Strong Cash Position</h3>
PBF&#39;s balance sheet is fortified with a significant cash reserve of $1.4 billion as of Mar 31, 2024. This strong liquidity position allows the company to navigate market fluctuations and invest in growth opportunities without compromising financial stability. Additionally, the company has $1.2 billion of total debt, indicating a healthy net cash position, which provides a buffer against economic uncertainties and supports strategic initiatives.
<h3>Consistent Shareholder Returns</h3>
PBF Energy has demonstrated a commitment to returning value to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. In the first quarter of 2024, the company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, an increase from previous quarters, and repurchased 2.6 million shares for around $125 million. This approach not only signals confidence in the company&#39;s financial health but also enhances shareholder value by reducing the number of outstanding shares.
<h3>Renewable Energy Initiatives</h3>
The company&#39;s strategic diversification into renewable fuels positions it well for growth in the energy transition landscape. The St. Bernard Renewables (&quot;SBR&quot;) venture, a 50-50 partnership with Eni, has commenced renewable diesel production, with an annual capacity of approximately 320 million gallons. This initiative not only aligns with global sustainability trends but also provides PBF with a new revenue stream and potential for significant carbon credit generation, enhancing overall profitability and sustainability.
<h3>Key Business Tailwinds</h3>
PBF Energy&#39;s diversified asset base across key refining regions in the United States offers a competitive advantage. The company operates high-complexity refineries with a combined throughput capacity of over 1 million barrels per day, spread across the East Coast, Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent and West Coast. This geographic diversification allows the company to optimize operations and capture margin improvements across different markets, mitigating regional market risks.
PBF Energy&#39;s disciplined capital allocation strategy focuses on long-term value creation. The company plans to invest $800-$850 million in refining capital expenditure in 2024, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and capacity. This investment includes significant planned maintenance activities to ensure the reliability and safety of its refineries, positioning the company to capitalize on market opportunities as demand for refined products remains strong.
The refining industry is currently experiencing favorable market dynamics, with resilient demand for refined products and tight global inventory levels. PBF Energy benefits from this environment, as reduced refining capacity in the United States and sustained demand support strong refining margins. This market backdrop provides a conducive environment for PBF to generate robust cash flows and maintain profitability.
PBF Energy is advancing its environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives by developing clean energy projects, including the MACH2 clean hydrogen hub on the East Coast. This project aims to produce green hydrogen and develop related infrastructure, supported by up to $750 million from the Department of Energy. Such initiatives not only enhance PBF&#39;s ESG credentials but also position the company as a leader in the transition to a low-carbon economy, potentially attracting ESG-focused investors.
The company has demonstrated effective cost management and operational efficiency, with first-quarter 2024 operating expenses decreasing from the same period in 2023. This focus on cost control, combined with strategic investments in margin-improvement projects, ensures that PBF can maintain competitive operational performance and profitability, even in challenging market conditions.
<h3>Stocks to Consider</h3>

Here's Why Hold Strategy is Apt for PBF Energy Now

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has approved the sale of Eni SpA&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/e#NYSE">E</a>) local unit, Nigerian Agip Oil Company (&quot;NAOC&quot;), to Oando in a significant development for Nigeria&#39;s oil sector.
The approval marks a crucial step forward for the transaction, which includes the transfer of interests in four onshore oil mining leases - 60, 61, 62 and 63.
Announced initially in September 2023, the sale of NAOC to Oando had been pending for months due to regulatory requirements under Nigeria&#39;s new oil industry law. The law mandates that such deals receive a sign-off from the petroleum minister, a process that had caused considerable delays.
Gbenga Komolafe, the head of the NUPRC, confirmed the approval during an energy conference in Abuja, highlighting the regulatory body&#39;s commitment to facilitating smoother transitions in the sector. This move is seen as part of a broader strategy to streamline approvals and encourage responsible divestments by international oil companies.
Simultaneously, the NUPRC has sanctioned the sale of Equinor&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eqnr#NYSE">EQNR</a>) assets to the new entrant, Project Odinmim. The transaction represents a notable entry for Project Odinmim into Nigeria&#39;s oil industry, underscoring the country&#39;s evolving landscape as established players divest from onshore operations.
While the approvals for Eni and Equinor&#39;s sales have been granted, other significant transactions remain in the pipeline. The recent approvals come amid broader challenges facing Nigeria&#39;s onshore oil operations, including theft, vandalism and environmental pollution. These issues have prompted major oil companies to shift their focus toward deepwater explorations, seeking more secure and profitable ventures.
In response to these challenges, the NUPRC introduced measures to expedite pending asset sales. One notable condition was that the selling companies must take responsibility for oil spills and provide compensation to affected communities. This stipulation aims to prevent prolonged delays caused by disputes over liability and ensure that transactions proceed more swiftly.
The NUPRC&#39;s recent approvals signify a pivotal moment for Nigeria&#39;s oil sector, reflecting both challenges and opportunities within the industry. As Oando and Project Odinmim prepare to take over their newly acquired assets, the focus will be on how these transitions impact the broader market dynamics and address the longstanding issues of theft, vandalism and environmental concerns.
With significant transactions still awaiting approval, the coming months will be critical in shaping the future landscape of Nigeria&#39;s oil industry.
<h3>Zacks Rank &amp; Key Picks</h3>
Currently, Eni carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Investors interested in the&nbsp;energy&nbsp;sector may look at some better-ranked stocks like&nbsp;Transportadora (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tgs#NYSE">TGS</a>) and&nbsp;GeoPark Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gprk#NYSE">GPRK</a>), each currently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Eni's Sale to Oando Approved Amid Nigeria Regulatory Shifts

Wall Street maintained its northbound journey in June. All three major stock indexes &mdash; the Dow, the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite &mdash; posted their seventh positive month in eight.
However, a few stocks have shown price strength. We have primarily targeted stocks that have recently been on a bull run. Such stocks have a high chance of carrying the momentum forward.
If a stock is continuously witnessing an uptrend, there must be a solid reason or it would have probably crashed. So, looking at stocks capable of beating the benchmark that they have set for themselves seems rational.
However, recent price strength alone cannot create magic. Therefore, other relevant parameters are needed to create a successful investment strategy.
Here&#39;s how you should create the screen to shortlist the current as well as the potential winners.
<h3>Screening Parameters:</h3>
Percentage Change in Price (4 Weeks) greater than zero: This criterion shows that the stock has moved higher in the last four weeks.
Percentage Change Price (12 Weeks) greater than 10: This indicates that the stock has seen momentum over the last three months. This lowers the risk of choosing stocks that may have drawn attention due to the overwhelming performance of the overall market in a very short period.
Zacks Rank 1: No matter whether market conditions are good or bad, stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) have a proven history of outperformance.
Average Broker Rating 1: This indicates that brokers are also highly hopeful about the stock&#39;s future performance.
Current Price greater than 5: The stocks must all be trading at a minimum of $5.
Current Price/ 52-Week High-Low Range more than 85%: This criterion filters stocks that are trading near their respective 52-week highs. It indicates that these are strong enough in terms of price.
Just these few criteria narrowed down the search from over 7,700 stocks to six.
Let&#39;s discuss five out of these six stocks:
KNOT Offshore Partners LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/knop#NYSE">KNOP</a>) is engaged in owning, acquiring and operating shuttle tankers, designed to transport crude oil and condensates from offshore oil field installations to onshore terminals and refineries. KNOP provides loading, transportation, and discharge of crude oil under time charters and bareboat charters.

(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/atge#NYSE">ATGE</a>) has been benefiting on the back of solid enrollment growth and effective implementation of its cost-saving initiatives. ATGE&#39;s Growth with Purpose strategy allowed it to expand access to high-quality, in-demand programs. Furthermore, strategic collaborations, and focus on innovation investments are encouraging.
