Valero Energy (ISIN US91913Y1001) had its Mizuho price target raised from USD 300.00 to USD 434.00 on October 8, 2026, while the bank kept a Neutral rating. The company also delivered adjusted earnings per share of USD 12.54 in the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 10.11 consensus.
Three milestones shape the stock
The latest development followed a strong operating quarter. According to MarketBeat on October 8, 2026, Mizuho lifted the target from USD 300.00 to USD 434.00 and retained its Neutral rating.
On September 17, 2026, Valero announced the election of Matt Audette to its board and financial oversight committee, according to Business Wire. The company had previously reported its second-quarter results on July 30, 2026.
According to MarketBeat, second-quarter revenue reached USD 44.48 billion, up 48.80 percent year over year, while adjusted earnings per share exceeded consensus by USD 2.43. The figures give the target revision a fundamental backdrop, although the results are from the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
What does the target change mean?
The move from USD 300.00 to USD 434.00 represents a 44.67 percent increase in Mizuho's target. That is a larger revision than the 40.00 percent average increase across refiners cited in the Mizuho report, as reported by Markets Insider on October 8, 2026.
The analyst picture is not uniform. Markets Insider reported on October 8, 2026 that Jefferies cut its target from USD 401.00 to USD 394.00 and retained a Hold rating ahead of third-quarter results. The USD 40.00 gap between the two new targets shows how heavily refining assumptions influence valuation.
Results date is October 22
Valero is scheduled to discuss third-quarter 2026 results on October 22, 2026, according to Business Wire. TradingView lists January 28, 2027 as the subsequent earnings date.
