The oil refiner's shares have seen an increase of 2.7% over the last month, surpassing the Oils-Energy sector's loss of 1.43% and falling behind the S&P 500's gain of 4.2%.
Investors will be eagerly watching for the performance of Valero Energy in its upcoming earnings disclosure. The company's earnings report is set to be unveiled on July 24, 2025. On that day, Valero Energy is projected to report earnings of $1.76 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 35.06%. In the meantime, our current consensus estimate forecasts the revenue to be $27.84 billion, indicating a 19.29% decline compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year.
For the annual period, the Zacks Consensus Estimates anticipate earnings of $6.28 per share and a revenue of $115.53 billion, signifying shifts of -25.94% and -11.05%, respectively, from the last year.
Additionally, investors should keep an eye on any recent revisions to analyst forecasts for Valero Energy. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the business performance and profit potential.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), possesses a remarkable history of outdoing, externally audited, with #1 stocks returning an average annual gain of +25% since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has shifted 2.8% upward. As of now, Valero Energy holds a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Looking at its valuation, Valero Energy is holding a Forward P/E ratio of 22.82. This indicates a premium in contrast to its industry's Forward P/E of 17.69.
One should further note that VLO currently holds a PEG ratio of 2.46. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. By the end of yesterday's trading, the Oil and Gas - Refining and Marketing industry had an average PEG ratio of 1.67.
The Oil and Gas - Refining and Marketing industry is part of the Oils-Energy sector. At present, this industry carries a Zacks Industry Rank of 190, placing it within the bottom 24% of over 250 industries.
