CVR Energy ( (CVI) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On January 26, 2026, CVR Energy reported preliminary estimates showing a consolidated net loss attributable to stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2025, driven mainly by accelerated depreciation tied to reverting the Wynnewood renewable diesel unit back to hydrocarbon processing and by lower nitrogen fertilizer production and sales caused by a planned turnaround and delayed restart at the Coffeyville plant. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net loss is projected between $110 million and $125 million, while full-year 2025 net income is estimated between $81 million and $96 million, with adjusted EBITDA for the year expected in the $380 million to $404 million range, total refining throughput averaging 180,000 to 183,000 barrels per day, and ammonia utilization at 87% to 89%, indicating that despite the quarterly setback, the company maintains solid annual profitability, stable liquidity with $500 million to $520 million in cash, and anticipates operational benefits from returning Wynnewood’s hydrocracker to hydrocarbon service and from having no planned 2026 turnarounds in its petroleum segment.

The most recent analyst rating on (CVI) stock is a Sell with a $25.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CVR Energy stock, see the CVI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CVI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CVI is a Neutral.

The score is held back mainly by weak price/momentum signals and mixed fundamentals, particularly high leverage and deteriorating free-cash-flow growth. This is partially offset by supportive valuation (high dividend yield with a moderate P/E) and a generally positive earnings-call backdrop with strong segment performance despite continued renewables challenges.
