Markets wobble on dollar jitters, one energy pick is up 71%

On Thursday, major stock indexes experienced a slight decline following remarks from President Trump about the dollar, which caused market uncertainty and drew attention to the Federal Reserve's upcoming decisions. Amid this backdrop, one U.S. refiner, highlighted in our monthly AI-generated stock picks, has surprisingly gained over 7% this month, and more than 71% since being identified by our AI models in June.

This energy company, DINO, had already caught the attention of InvestingPro members who subscribed for less than $9 a month. The AI-powered model had placed a high-confidence pick on this energy stock well before the broader market recognized the potential in refining. DINO is not the only stock that has performed remarkably. Looking at the overall ProPicks portfolio, many other names have also shown significant growth.

However, for those who missed out on these picks, there is good news: October's list is now available for membership. Among the standout performers is DINO, which has seen a substantial 71.54% increase since being added to the Energy Elite list on June 1. A significant portion of this gain, 7.1%, came specifically in October. The company's success is attributed to several factors, including tight product supply, low inventories, and expanding margins due to projects like the El Dorado vacuum furnace and Go-West initiatives.

Additionally, DINO's financial strategy has been bolstered by securing a $2 billion credit facility for HF Sinclair and recent stock purchases by the company's CEO, Franklin Myers, which align with other outside shareholders. Recent Q2 results, released on July 28, demonstrated that the company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $5.31, exceeding analyst consensus estimates of $4.46 by 19.1%, while revenue reached $10.4 billion, surpassing the forecasted $8.95 billion.

Since its introduction in August 2025, the strategy behind DINO has delivered a remarkable 78.13% return, outperforming the S&P 500 Energy index by 25.25 percentage points over the same period. The strategy operates on a monthly rebalancing basis, maintaining stocks that continue to align with the investment thesis while removing those that do not.
