Thursday, March 19, 2026
Q4 beat and dividend hike power Valero; Goldman lifts PT to $237 on strong earnings.
Valero Energy reported better-than-expected Q4 2025 earnings, increased its dividend, and announced a heavier 2026 capex plan, driving a 1.46% daily rally and 16.19% monthly gain. Goldman Sachs raised its price target to $237 from $203 while maintaining Buy rating, reflecting confidence in the refiner's cash generation and capital return strategy. Pre-market trading at $238.09 suggests momentum continuing, with Q1 2026 consensus EPS estimate of $2.33 representing 161.8% YoY growth.
