Suncor Energy attributed its third-quarter 2026 adjusted operating earnings growth to higher upstream prices, stronger downstream margins and increased high-value exports.

2. Segment results
Refining and Marketing adjusted operating earnings reached CAD 3.23 billion, supported by higher crack spreads and a CAD 235 million inventory valuation gain. Oil Sands adjusted operating earnings rose to CAD 2.81 billion as higher realized prices outweighed lower sales volumes and increased operating expenses.
