Calumet (CLMT) delivered a strong Q2, with adjusted EBITDA of $159M versus $116M estimates, driven by robust Specialty Brands performance and early MaxSAF production at MRL. MRL's SAF production ramp is slower than planned, but cash flow remains strong, enabling rapid debt paydown and supporting over $1/share per month in free cash generation. Valuation updates reflect higher cash generation, with a sum-of-the-parts equity value estimate of $71.5/share, factoring in conservative EBITDA and expansion upside.
