VLO Stock Recent News

I believe we're at a turning point for cyclical stocks, with improving indicators and global growth signaling potential outperformance in industrials, energy, and transportation. I'm positioning my portfolio for this shift, adding to railroads, machinery, and energy stocks. I'm confident these sectors will see strong returns and accelerating dividend growth. Of course, risks remain - geopolitical tensions, inflation, or economic slowdowns could derail this trend. But for now, the risk/reward looks favorable.

Looking ahead, VLO expects refining margins to be supported by low light product inventories leading into the driving season.
