PBF Energy A

PBF Energy shares rose about 4.3% in morning trading, recovering from roughly a 10% setback. The move was triggered by the analysis of a $500 million exchangeable zero‑coupon note from PBF Holding with an exchange price of $96.80 (≈37.5% premium to the September 14 close). The company intends to use the net proceeds plus cash to fully redeem unsecured senior notes (7.875% coupon, maturing 2030) to extend its maturity profile and reduce refinancing risk; capped calls are intended to limit dilution. Morgan Stanley kept its rating at "Underweight" but raised the price target from $38 to $76, which could further encourage buying interest. » More on de.investing.com

Morgan Stanley reiterated an "Underweight" rating with a $76 price target, which added further selling pressure.
