The Wells Fargo move followed a broad reassessment of Valero's earnings outlook. Its new USD 485.00 target was above the USD 382.62 consensus figure cited by MarketBeat on October 14, 2026, although the two figures reflect different analyst views.

Valero's second-quarter revenue reached USD 44.48 billion, up 48.80 percent from the same period a year earlier. Quarterly earnings per share came to USD 12.54, compared with a USD 10.11 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat.

Refining results set the context

The operating figures explain why target changes have clustered around higher valuations. Revenue growth of 48.80 percent and earnings per share above consensus provide a stronger recent reference point than the lower estimates cited before the second-quarter report.
