Dow Jones05-14
1323 ET - Valvoline's stock lost recent gains following a strong F2Q performance, Mizuho says, pointing to reported shortages across the motor oil and lubricant industry. The analysts say multiple social media posts from operators and experts highlight disruptions across the motor oil supply chain due to the Iran war. The analysts expect private operators to increase prices, as Valvoline has already done so. Valvoline holds adequate supply for now and the lower end of its outlook accounts for possible supply shortages, the analysts say. Valvoline is down 2.2%.(katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
