ARKO reported Q2 adjusted EBITDA of $72.0M (down from $76.9M) on softer retail demand, but reaffirmed full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $245M–$265M and raised its retail fuel margin outlook to 45.5–47.5 cents per gallon. The company announced APC's planned acquisition of U.S. Petroleum Partners, expected to add ~$30M of annualized adjusted EBITDA and ~280M gallons.
