Market Focus
Jul 02

On July 2, Valero Energy rose 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $268.17/share, with turnover of $457 million.

On the news front, Goldman Sachs raised its price target on Valero Energy to $286 from $283, maintaining a Buy rating. According to FactSet, the stock carries an average analyst rating of overweight with a mean price target of $270.18. The upgrade reflects continued optimism around refining margins, which analysts note are unlikely to return to pre-conflict levels anytime soon due to refinery damage and the time required to normalize trade flows.

The broader Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing sector saw widespread gains, with PBF Energy up 5.01%, Delek US up 3.94%, HF Sinclair up 3.86%, Marathon Petroleum up 3.2%, and Phillips 66 up 2.99%. Asian refining profits remain elevated as crude supply recovers faster than refined product output, with diesel and gasoline prices still over 20% above pre-conflict levels, supporting the sector outlook.
