About This Group of Stocks

1

Our Expert Thinking

With the Lindsey Oil Refinery's sudden insolvency, the UK faces an immediate fuel supply deficit. This creates a timely opportunity for European refiners with extra capacity and tanker companies that can transport these fuels across the sea to fill this unexpected gap.

2

What You Need to Know

This is a tactical, event-driven investment opportunity focused on the short to medium term. The Lindsey refinery accounted for 10% of UK fuel supply, and this disruption particularly affects diesel and jet fuel availability, forcing the UK to rely heavily on imports.

3

Why These Stocks

These companies were specifically selected to capture the two sectors directly benefiting from this situation: European refiners that can increase output to meet UK demand, and tanker operators that will see higher rates transporting these fuels across the water.
