Jefferies Downgrades Valero Energy (VLO) to Hold

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 01:56:09 -0400

Jefferies analyst Lloyd Byrne downgraded Valero Energy (NYSE: VLO) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $401.00.

Even with elevated strip pricing from 2H26-2029, the current share price implies 2030 midcycle margins near 2025 levels. We believe that the refining risk-reward balance now supports holding (vs adding) exposure, and we downgrade VLO and MPC to Hold. Within we go through positives and negatives, including continuing to see positive consensus revisions (a key driver of the equities) and a longer-term constructive
