Bank of America lifts its target
The target increase is the clearest fresh analyst action for Valero Energy stock. Bank of America's USD 414.00 objective is USD 19.00 above its previous USD 395.00 target, a 4.81 percent increase calculated against the old target.
The rating remains neutral, which creates a more cautious signal than the target change alone. The same MarketBeat report listed Goldman Sachs at a USD 457.00 target and Jefferies at USD 401.00, showing a wide range of views on refining profitability.
Second-quarter earnings set a high bar
MarketBeat reported that Valero delivered adjusted earnings per share of USD 12.54 in the second quarter of 2026, versus a USD 10.11 consensus estimate. Revenue reached USD 44.48 billion, compared with USD 39.47 billion expected, while year-over-year revenue growth was 48.80 percent.
The USD 2.43 adjusted earnings-per-share gap over consensus and the USD 5.01 billion revenue gap explain why analyst targets have moved higher. Valero's official website describes three operating divisions, refining, renewable diesel and ethanol, leaving results exposed to both fuel demand and refining margins.
