Results date brings a second test

Valero is expected to report third-quarter 2026 results before the NYSE open on October 22, 2026. MarketBeat cites consensus revenue of USD 43.36 billion and earnings of USD 20.83 per share for the quarter. That forecast gives the target a near-term event to clear, rather than leaving the higher valuation target as a standalone analyst view.

Second-quarter figures set the base

Valero generated USD 44.48 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 48.80 percent from the year-earlier quarter, according to StockTitan. Net income reached USD 3.70 billion, compared with USD 714.00 million a year earlier. The company also reported USD 12.62 in earnings per share, versus USD 2.28 in the second quarter of 2025. The figures predated the later fuel-price and supply developments described in the same report.

Price range and valuation

On October 16, 2026, the NYSE price was USD 446.62, within a 52-week range of USD 156.17 to USD 461.52. The upper end was 3.23 percent above that price. Trading volume stood at 497,838 shares against an average of 2,948,829 shares. Valero's market capitalization was USD 128.6 billion, its price-to-earnings ratio was 18.52 and its trailing dividend yield was 1.00 percent.

Comparison with peers

Valero Energy: price-to-earnings ratio 18.52, market capitalization USD 128.6 billion

Marathon Petroleum (NYSE, USD): daily change 0.18 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 16.47, market capitalization USD 134.2 billion

Phillips 66 (NYSE, USD): daily change 0.99 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 16.63, market capitalization USD 117.1 billion

What the next report can change

The October 22 results will test whether the second-quarter revenue increase carried into the next reporting period. For investors, the key numerical tension is clear: the USD 485.00 Wells Fargo target sits above the current NYSE price, while the reported consensus revenue of USD 43.36 billion is below the USD 44.48 billion Valero achieved in the second quarter.
