I am hearing two dual sales processes for Great Falls and Branded Lubricants are proceeding. 1H 2021 is my expectation for at least one sale.
I would prefer to see Branded Lubricants sell first cause it... login to read the rest

Biden has been very good for rail. Shutting Keystone will move significant wcs to rail. Oil in the $50-$60 range also makes wcs very profitable.

bruno - if Biden kills keystone XL, am I right in concluding that WCS remains 'stranded'; the differential vs WTI will widen; and this will benefit Great Falls structurally (given the feedstock advantage)?

Thanks Bruno, you're correct on the remainco EBITDA (mgmt also noted that Branded likely has ~5MM of SG&A, ~30MM for Great Falls which means remainco left w/ ~50 - 55MM of SG&A). See math below,... login to read the rest

I think your remain-co ebitda number is lower than mine. I think remain-co is $150 mil ish in ebitda. I think on a take out it is worth 8x or $15 per share.
