ARKO Petroleum Corp. reported stronger first-quarter 2026 results, with management pointing to fuel-margin discipline, wholesale growth and the company’s post-IPO balance sheet as key factors supporting its outlook.
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Arie Kotler said adjusted EBITDA rose approximately 18% year over year during a quarter marked by significant fuel-cost volatility. Kotler said the results reflected the company’s “cost-plus” margin structure on roughly 85% of gallons distributed, as well as pricing execution on the remaining gallons sold through fleet fueling and consignment agent locations.
