Actionable Insight • Neutral

Monitor for definitive construction agreement finalization and subsequent progress updates. The contract award de-risks the refinery timeline, but the stock's micro-cap status means any delays or cost overruns could have outsized impact. Next catalyst is likely commissioning updates in late 2026 or early 2027.
