Wells Fargo target resets the debate
The new USD 485.00 target is 12.15 percent above Valero Energy's USD 432.47 NYSE price on October 20, 2026 at 9:47 a.m. ET. The calculation uses the same home-currency price and target, while the euro quotation remains the German investor reference.

Valero Energy's USD 432.47 NYSE price stood between its 52-week low of USD 156.26 and high of USD 461.52 on October 20, 2026.
