Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openValero Energy (VLO) is preparing to release its third-quarter earnings, which analysts expect to show profits up roughly 480% thanks to strong refining margins. However, rising crude oil costs and the stock's premium price compared to its earnings could offset some of the gains.
An analyst piece argues Valero Energy's stock may already be fully priced after a roughly 7x gain over five years, with shares recently closing at US$459.78. It notes that fuel markets remain tight and refining conditions have been strong, but doesn't report a specific company development.
The article notes the stock carries a wide spread of analyst ratings, from Hold to Strong Buy.
An earnings preview notes that Valero Energy (VLO) is expected to report earnings growth in its upcoming release next week, but argues it lacks the combination of metrics typically associated with beating consensus estimates.
Valero's refineries are built to process cheaper, denser heavy sour crude oil, and the article says this advantage, along with Venezuelan and Canadian supply options, helps support its refining margins (the profit spread from turning crude into gasoline and other products).
