Fuel supply is no longer background noise on the nightly news. With US gasoline prices staying high under Trump 2.0 and shipping costs for tankers swinging from about $65,000 to roughly $1.6m a day, the companies that move and store fuel are suddenly center stage. This article walks through three stocks exposed to these shocks, and how today’s stress points could create tomorrow’s opportunities or risks for your portfolio.
The three stocks in this article are a starting sample, and the wider screen surfaced 27 more fuel logistics and storage operators with equally compelling business narratives that are not covered here.
If you want to identify and analyze the highest conviction opportunities across the full set of global fuel movers and storage specialists, head straight into the Global Fuel-Logistics and Storage Operators screener.
Verbio (XTRA:VBK)
Overview: Verbio produces and distributes biofuels and related products worldwide, tying its core business directly to fuel logistics, blending and movement.
Operations: Verbio generates about €951 million from Biodiesel and €899 million from Bioethanol/Biomethane, with only €40 million classified as Other activities.
Market Cap: €1.85b
Verbio matters here because it is not just selling low carbon fuel; it is running an integrated biorefinery network that feeds directly into how molecules move through storage tanks, pipelines and truck fleets when fossil supply chains are strained.
"Record biomethane output above 370 GWh in a single quarter and more than 1 TWh over nine months, combined with Verbio’s position as the largest producer and trader of biomethane in Germany and an exporter of molecules, creates room for a larger share of future greenhouse gas quota volumes to be met with its own gas."
What really matters now is how one still unresolved pricing pressure shapes the gap between Verbio’s production scale and future margin potential.
That pricing gap is exactly what Verbio’s full narrative for Verbio unpacks, showing where quota mechanics, policy shifts and execution risk could be masking upside or capping returns.
Aegis Logistics (NSEI:AEGISLOG)
Overview: Aegis Logistics runs oil, gas and chemical terminals across India, earning fees for storing, moving and distributing fuels and industrial gases.
Operations: Aegis Logistics generates about ₹82,924 million from its Gas Terminal Division and roughly ₹6,783 million from its Liquid Terminal Division, almost entirely in India.
Market Cap: ₹453.18 billion
When fuel flows get disrupted, Aegis Logistics is one of the companies that keeps molecules moving through ports, tanks and pipelines, which is exactly what investors hunting for fee based storage and throughput exposure are trying to tap into right now.
"Large ongoing port and storage capacity expansion across locations such as Mumbai, JNPA, Kandla, Pipavav, Kochi, Mangalore and Haldia, together with identified capex of about $1.2b by March 2027 and a further pipeline of roughly $5b through 2030/31, is expected to create an integrated liquids and gas network that can support higher throughput and potentially lift group revenue and EBITDA."
For Aegis Logistics, what happens to per tonne margins if a single key assumption in that bigger build out stops holding will matter a lot.
If that single assumption is what worries you, the full narrative for Aegis Logistics shows where throughput growth, capex timing and pricing power could be quietly decoupling expectations.
JSW Infrastructure (NSEI:JSWINFRA)
Overview: JSW Infrastructure runs commercial ports and related logistics services, handling cargo, storage and transport that tie directly into global fuel flows.
Operations: JSW Infrastructure generates about ₹47.7b from Port Operation and roughly ₹8.1b from Logistic Operation.
Market Cap: ₹734.9b
JSW Infrastructure matters for this screener because its ports and storage assets sit where fuel cargoes are redirected, queued and parked when traditional routes seize up.
"A multi year capacity expansion program that targets growth from 186 mtpa to 300 mtpa by FY28 and 400 mtpa by FY30 or earlier, backed by around ₹16,500 crore of planned port and logistics CapEx in FY27 to FY28, points to a larger operating base that can increase long term revenue and operating EBITDA once these assets are fully commissioned."
What really shapes how rewarding that build out becomes is how one less visible geopolitical and insurance variable ultimately filters into future returns.
That geopolitical and insurance twist is exactly what the full narrative for JSW Infrastructure unpacks, as it shows where fuel rerouting risk could be masking how powerful JSW Infrastructure’s expansion story really is.
