Valero Energy Corp. Hits Day High with Strong 3.22% Intraday Surge

Valero Energy Corp. has experienced a notable increase of 3.22% on September 16, 2025, reaching an intraday high of USD 163.34. This performance stands out against the backdrop of the broader market, with Valero's one-day performance significantly outpacing the S&P 500, which rose by just 0.47%.
Over the past week, Valero has shown a robust gain of 24.2%, while its monthly performance reflects a 32.3% increase. Year-to-date, the stock has surged by 32.67%, indicating a strong recovery compared to the S&P 500's 12.47% gain. However, it is important to note that Valero has faced challenges, reporting negative results for the last six consecutive quarters. Key financial metrics reveal a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 7.82% and a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 33.00, suggesting a premium valuation relative to its historical averages.

Despite these challenges, Valero's market capitalization stands at USD 90,534 million, and it maintains a dividend yield of 42.53%, reflecting its ongoing commitment to returning value to shareholders.
