DK Q3 2026 results
In one sentence
Delek US Holdings reported revenue of $4.4 billion for Q3 2026, up 52% from a year earlier (Delek US Holdings, Nov 6, 2026).
| Measure | Q3 2026 | Q3 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $4,392 million | $2,887 million | up 52% |
| Diluted EPS (GAAP) | $18.22 | $2.93 | up 522% |
| Diluted EPS (adjusted) | $13.55 | $7.13 | up 90% |
| Net income | $1,134 million | $178 million | up 537% |
The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Delek US Holdings published the results on November 6, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Delek US Holdings reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.
- GAAP results include a $334.7 million reduction in cost of materials after the EPA granted small refinery exemptions (SREs) for Krotz Springs' 2024 obligations and for all Delek refineries for 2025. Excluding the RVO adjustment and SREs granted in the quarter, Delek put adjusted EPS at $10.53.
- Delek US owned about 58.0% of Delek Logistics Partners (NYSE: DKL) at September 30, 2026 and consolidates it as its Logistics segment.

DK revenue by segment
How Delek US Holdings splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.
| Net revenues by segment (excluding intercompany fees and revenues) | Q3 2026 | Q3 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refining | $4,204 million | $2,757 million | up 52% |
| Logistics | $188 million | $130 million | up 45% |
- Delek US Holdings's Refining revenue was $4.2 billion in Q3 2026, up 52% from $2.8 billion in Q3 2025, 96% of total revenue.
- Delek US Holdings's Logistics revenue was $188 million in Q3 2026, up 45% from $130 million in Q3 2025, 4% of total revenue.
Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

- Q3 2026 (this page), reported Nov 6, 2026
What Delek US Holdings's revenue is made of
Delek US Holdings reports two segments, Refining and Logistics. Of $4,392.1 million of net revenues in Q3 2026, against $2,887.0 million a year earlier, Refining brought in $4,203.8 million and Logistics $188.3 million, excluding intercompany fees and revenues. Another $300.5 million of inter-segment fees and revenues was eliminated in consolidation. (Delek US Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026)
The Refining segment runs four refineries: Tyler, Texas (75,000 barrels per day of nameplate capacity), El Dorado, Arkansas (80,000), Big Spring, Texas (73,000) and Krotz Springs, Louisiana (74,000), a combined 302,000 bpd. They make gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, asphalt and other products. In Q3 2026 total throughput averaged 316,291 bpd and crude utilization was 100.2% of nameplate capacity. (Delek US Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026; Delek US Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026)
Volumes barely moved: refined product sales averaged 319,552 bpd against 317,587 bpd a year earlier. The revenue increase came from prices. WTI Cushing crude averaged $85.79 a barrel against $65.06, the U.S. Gulf Coast 5-3-2 crack spread averaged $63.52 against $22.57, and Delek's benchmark crack spreads were up an average of 191.2%. Delek's 10-Q attributes the rise in 2026 crack spreads mainly to tighter global refined product supplies from refinery outages and disruptions in the Middle East, Russia and other regions. (Delek US Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026; Delek US Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026)
The Logistics segment is Delek Logistics Partners (DKL), in which Delek US held a 58.0% interest at September 30, 2026. It gathers, pipes, stores and processes crude oil, natural gas and water and sells wholesale fuel in West Texas. Its adjusted EBITDA was $142.9 million against $138.1 million, which Delek put down to higher margins in the wholesale business and increased interest income on sales-type leases. (Delek US Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026; Delek US Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026)
What Delek US Holdings's EPS includes
Delek US's GAAP diluted EPS of $18.22 was well above its adjusted EPS of $13.55 in Q3 2026. In August 2026 the EPA granted small refinery exemptions for the Krotz Springs refinery's 2024 obligations and for all Delek refineries for 2025, which cut cost of materials by $334.7 million. Delek's adjusted figure removes a $377.8 million gain from fair value changes in the net RINs obligation and a $234.2 million reversal of prior-period renewable volume obligations, and adds back $86.3 million of other inventory impact. Excluding the RVO adjustment and SREs granted in the quarter, Delek put adjusted EPS at $10.53. (Delek US Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026)
Since Q3 2025 Delek's non-GAAP measures include the benefit of exemptions it expects to receive for the current year, equal to about 50% of its recorded current-period obligation, while GAAP results carry the full obligation until exemptions are granted. Income tax expense was $315.7 million, an effective rate of 21.5% against 17.0% a year earlier. (Delek US Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026; Delek US Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026)
Diluted weighted average shares were 62,223,976 in the quarter against 60,944,900 a year earlier. Delek repurchased 695,410 shares for $50.0 million during Q3 2026 and had $394.2 million left under its authorization. On September 29, 2026 it issued $460 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2031, with capped call transactions meant to reduce dilution on conversion. (Delek US Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026; Delek US Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026)
Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.
Consensus and guidance at Delek US Holdings

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Delek US Holdings, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.
The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

How to check DK's figures yourself
Every number on this page can be traced to a document Delek US Holdings published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.
- The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
- The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
- The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
- Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
