Valero Energy rated Strong Buy with 50% upside on solid Q2 results and favorable oil market conditions.

Valero Energy (VLO) is rated a Strong Buy with a $660 price target, offering at least 50% upside potential due to strong macroeconomic factors like Strait of Hormuz disruptions, high crack spreads, and low US oil reserves. Despite a 95% share price increase since April 2026, VLO trades at a modest 8x forward P/E, indicating undervaluation compared to peers. The company reported strong Q2 2026 results with earnings per share of $12.54 and revenue of $44.8 billion, driven by margin expansion and efficient operations. This positions Valero well for continued growth and capital returns, making it an attractive investment opportunity.

Valero Energy (VLO) has a market cap of $125.54 billion and a dividend yield of 1.1% on Pluang as of Oct 13, 2026 19:41 WIB. The stock price is USD 437.72 with a modest 0.39% increase in the last day, while Pluang investors hold the stock for an average of 57 days. Order activity on Pluang shows a strong buying interest at 68%, supporting the positive sentiment around Valero amid ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting energy markets.
