Recent developments indicate that
Valero Energy Corporation (VLO) stock seems to be finding favor amidst a fluctuating market. A significant
dip in broader market performance has led to VLO appearing underrated in comparison. This energy company, predominantly held by
institutional owners (83-84%), released its third quarter 2024 earnings results on October 24, 2024. Furthermore, the company's strategic SWOT insights present an interesting discussion. The value of investing in VLO three years ago would've netted gains of approximately
145%, affirming a positive trajectory for the stock. A traction in the
Algae and Biofuel market, an attractive shareholder dividend offer, a positive earnings beat throughout several quarters, and optimistic estimates add to VLO's strong appeal to investors. Nevertheless, the company does face challenges such as weak margins causing a dip in its Q2 profits and a slightly underperforming status compared to the larger energy sector. Notably, the business's growing
free cash flow is expected to support dividend growth, with the launch of a
Diamond Green Diesel plant slated for Q4.
