Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
Valero Energy Corporation is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is attractive. You pay 11.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly -1% yearly growth; analysts expect 17%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
