What has changed since the last report

The authorization has no expiration date and is in addition to the amount remaining under the July 2026 program, according to the SEC filing published by StockTitan. The filing makes clear that the authorization is a ceiling rather than a statement that the full amount will be spent immediately.

For the quarter ended September 30, Valero reported USD 46.098 billion in revenue and USD 6.828 billion in net income attributable to Valero stockholders. The company generated USD 13.902 billion in operating cash flow during the first nine months of 2026, compared with USD 3.769 billion a year earlier.
The company's third-quarter release reported Refining operating income of USD 8.8 billion, versus USD 1.6 billion in the prior-year quarter.
