Calumet Specialty Products (CLMT) is poised to deliver a potentially stunning Q3 EBITDA of $300–$325 million, driven by strong crack spreads and operational improvements. Current valuation appears rich, with technical indicators overbought and EBITDA run rates well above normalized levels, suggesting a correction may be imminent. I am lowering my rating from strong buy to buy, recommending investors wait until after earnings and the planned Shreveport shutdown before adding shares.
