Movement Alert｜Valero Energy Rises 3.13% in Regular Trading, $5 Billion Buyback Program Continues to Lift Shares

Market Focus07-18

On July 18, Valero Energy rose 3.13% in regular trading, trading at $309.58/share, with turnover of $636 million. The gain was driven by the company's newly authorized $5 billion share repurchase program, announced on July 16, alongside a broadly supportive energy market backdrop.

According to SEC filings, Valero's board approved the $5 billion buyback in addition to the $1.4 billion remaining under its existing program as of June 30, significantly expanding total repurchase capacity. The company also maintained its quarterly dividend at $1.20 per share, payable August 31. The massive buyback signals management confidence in future cash flows and is expected to positively impact per-share metrics.

The broader energy sector provided additional tailwinds, with WTI crude surging 4% to $82.12/barrel and Brent climbing 4.2% to $87.77/barrel. Sector peers also advanced, with PBF Energy up 2.9%, Phillips 66 up 2.82%, and Marathon Petroleum up 2.3%. BMO Capital recently raised its price target on Valero to $310 from $290, maintaining an Outperform rating. The next earnings report is due July 30, with consensus EPS estimates at $9.81.
