From the latest earnings call · 2026-07-29

CONFIDENT KEX beat Q2 EPS ($1.67 vs $1.70 est) on solid marine & power gen demand. Raised FY26 guidance to upper end of 5–15% range. Inland pricing improving slowly; coastal stable despite 80K–100K bbl segment noise. Q2 2026 Call focused on PADD 3 (U.S. Gulf refineries/petrochemicals) and coastal markets. No geographic segment breakdown provided. Analysts pressed on inland margin path vs. prior 'exceed peak' commentary; management clarified 5-year gradual climb vs. rapid jump, citing 2025 Venezuelan crude shock lesson. Jones Act waiver questioned for coastal impact; CEO stressed benign effect & preference for specific targeting.
