Valero Energy (ISIN US91913Y1001) reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 44.48 billion, up 48.8 percent from the year-earlier quarter, according to MarketBeat on October 2, 2026. The stock was last at USD 406.30 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.53 percent from the prior close.
Revenue growth drives the story
Valero's Q2 2026 earnings per share came to USD 12.54 versus USD 10.11 consensus, a USD 2.43 beat, while the same quarter a year earlier produced USD 2.28 per share, according to MarketBeat. The earnings comparison is important because revenue growth and refining profitability have lifted the latest quarterly result far above the prior-year base.
The market value stood at USD 117.0 billion on October 2, 2026. With the stock's 52-week range at USD 155.29 to USD 419.04, the latest price was USD 12.74 below the yearly high, leaving the share price near the upper end of its annual trading range.
Bank of America raises its target
Bank of America raised its Valero Energy price target from USD 395 to USD 414 while keeping a neutral rating in a research report issued on October 2, 2026, MarketBeat reported. The new target lies 1.9 percent above the USD 406.30 reference price, a measured signal after the stock's strong run.
MarketBeat also cited a broader Moderate Buy consensus and listed Goldman Sachs at a USD 457 target after its September 23, 2026 update. That spread shows why the next earnings release matters more than a single target change: the operating result must support the valuation already reflected in the share price.
October 22 brings the next test
Valero Energy is expected to report its Q3 2026 results on October 22, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance on October 2, 2026. That scheduled date gives investors a concrete checkpoint for whether the Q2 revenue and earnings momentum can continue.
