ARKO Petroleum Corp., a subsidiary of ARKO Corp., priced its initial public offering of 11,111,111 shares of Class A common stock at $18.00 per share on February 11, 2026. The offering will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker “APC” on February 12, 2026, with the IPO expected to close on February 13, 2026.
The pricing announcement followed the filing of a Form S‑1 registration statement that the SEC declared effective on February 11, 2026. The IPO is expected to raise approximately $200 million, with proceeds earmarked for repaying a portion of the company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
ARKO Petroleum will retain a controlling interest after the IPO. ARKO Corp. will own 75.9 % of the economic interests and 94.0 % of the combined voting power in ARKO Petroleum, a stake that would fall to 73.3 % economic interest and 93.2 % voting power if the underwriters exercise their over‑allotment option.
The company plans to initiate a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share, or $2.00 annually, signaling a commitment to returning value to shareholders while maintaining financial flexibility.
Financial performance in the period leading up to the IPO shows a decline in revenue and net income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, ARKO Petroleum reported net income of $24.7 million on revenue of $4.27 billion, down 25 % and 13 % respectively from the same period in 2024. For the 12 months ended September 30, 2025, net income was $32.2 million on revenue of $5.72 billion, and in 2024 revenue was $6.37 billion, a decline of 8.61 % from $6.97 billion in 2023, with earnings of $40.22 million, down 2.82 %.
The decline reflects weaker demand in the wholesale fuel segment and increased cost pressures, while the company’s wholesale, fleet fueling, and GPM Petroleum operations continue to drive growth in the convenience store and third‑party dealer markets.
The IPO occurs amid a resurgent IPO market in early 2026, as equity markets rally and investor appetite for new listings strengthens. ARKO Petroleum’s positioning as one of the largest wholesale fuel distributors in North America, serving customers in over 30 states, provides a solid foundation for future expansion and potential acquisitions.
