Overweight

Reason

Piper Sandler analyst Ryan Todd lowered the firm's price target on Valero to $217 from $223 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm says that entering 2026, while the chairs have shuffled around a bit, the song remains similar to twelve months ago - a bearish crude outlook that is likely to make it difficult for the sector to outperform the broader market. On the flip side, Piper sees the refining market as even better than 2025, driven by what it expects to be incrementally tighter S/D and crude differential tailwinds.

downgrade

Outperform -> Neutral

Reason

Mizuho analyst Nitin Kumar downgraded Valero to Neutral from Outperform with a price target of $192, up from $190. The firm cites the stock's "above peer valuation" and the potential for weaker refining cracks for the downgrade. Mizuho sees a "more muted" refining outlook in 2026, saying many global refining projects that were supposed to be completed by 2025 were pushed back to the first half of 2026, which will loosen balances and potentially weaken margins.

Buy -> Neutral

Reason

BofA downgraded Valero to Neutral from Buy with a price target of $195, down from $198. The valuations of the refiners "have surprised us this year" as it felt like "a perfect storm of likely temporary drivers," including Ukraine-Russia drone strikes, more Russia sanctions, high European gas prices, and slower than expected ramp of new refineries, the analyst tells investors. It seems that some resolution is getting more likely in 2026 and he potential end of the conflict would also have the effect of sending more Russian pipeline gas to Europe, the analyst added.

Overweight

Reason

Piper Sandler raised the firm's price target on Valero to $223 from $201 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes Q3 results have wrapped and margins remain impressively strong. And while Q3 results were solid, Piper sees Q4 shaping up even better, with capture tailwinds, demand resilient, and margins robust, despite throughput guides suggesting 2.4% increase year-over-year. In the end, the market is clearly tighter than anticipated, and the firm still sees it getting incrementally tighter in 2026, and the futures curve now agrees.
