Description: WKC World Kinect January 16, 2026
World Kinect Corporation (NYSE: WKC) is an energy-management firm operating globally across aviation, land-based fuels, and marine segments. The company supplies conventional jet fuel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), gasoline, lubricants, heating oil, and marine bunkers, while also providing ancillary services such as fuel management, ground handling, dispatch, trip planning, and carbon-management consulting.
In the Aviation segment, WKC serves a broad customer base-including commercial airlines, cargo carriers, government and military entities, and charter operators-by delivering both traditional and SAF products. SAF volumes are a key growth lever; industry forecasts project a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~15 % through 2030 driven by carbon-reduction mandates in the U.S. and Europe.
The Land segment sells fuel and lubricants to retail operators and industrial customers, and it has expanded into natural-gas, power supply, and renewable-energy solutions. Recent quarterly filings show the segment contributed roughly 38 % of total revenue, with a gross margin of ~7 %, reflecting the compressing spreads on refined products amid volatile crude prices.
Marine operations target international container, dry-bulk, tanker, and cruise fleets, offering bunkering, quality-control, and cost-management services. Global bunker demand is closely tied to shipping-industry freight rates; the latest Baltic Dry Index suggests a modest upside for bunker volumes in the next 12 months.
WKC rebranded from World Fuel Services in June 2023; the firm was founded in 1984 and is headquartered in Miami, Florida. Its GICS classification is Oil & Gas Exploration & Production, though the business model aligns more with fuel-distribution and services, a distinction that can affect peer-group comparisons.
