Valero Energy (ISIN US91913Y1001) was last at EUR 363.00 on Tradegate on October 2, 2026, matching the displayed prior close of EUR 363.00. The latest market event came on October 5, 2026, when Bank of America raised its price target from USD 395.00 to USD 414.00 while keeping a neutral rating, as MarketBeat reported.
Target reaches USD 414
The target change gives Valero a fresh valuation marker after a powerful run in its primary US listing. The same MarketBeat report said the stock reached a new 52-week high in US trading and that the average analyst target of USD 348.81 remained below the market price cited in that report. That split matters: the individual target rose, but the broader average still signaled a more cautious valuation view.
Second-quarter earnings surge
Valero's second-quarter 2026 net income attributable to stockholders reached USD 3.70 billion, or USD 12.62 per share, compared with USD 714.00 million, or USD 2.28 per share, in the second quarter of 2025. Morningstar also reported refining segment operating income of USD 4.50 billion, up from USD 1.30 billion, on throughput of 3.00 million barrels per day.
The results provide the operating explanation behind the elevated valuation debate. Valero's refining margin was USD 23.62 per barrel in the second quarter, while the company returned USD 2.60 billion to stockholders during the period, equal to a 59.00 percent payout ratio, according to Morningstar.
Results arrive October 22
Valero has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 earnings release for October 22, 2026, before a conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET, according to Valero Energy. The next report will test whether the second-quarter margin and earnings strength carried into the period affected by changing fuel-market conditions.
