Vivakor raises 2026 Supply & Trading outlook to $3.5B
AI Summary
Vivakor said it lifted its 2026 Supply & Trading outlook to $3.5 billion in annualized commercial activity, citing rapid expansion of its VST physical crude oil marketing platform and a growing pipeline amid heightened global crude market volatility. VST already reports ~ $2.35 billion of annualized commercial activity and 26.9 million barrels of annualized sales, but Vivakor notes it only recognizes a small percentage of total contract value as gross profit, so reported commercial activity will translate to a much smaller profit contribution and will vary with market conditions.

Negatives
