Valero Energy Corporation (VLO) emerges as one of the top natural gas and oil dividend stocks, potentially undervalued by 24%. Notable moves include Van ECK Associates Corp increasing their position, and Allspring Global Investments Holdings LLC boosting their stake. Meanwhile, Sapient Capital LLC and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group sold shares. Q4 2024 earnings highlighted strategic navigation through challenges, with reports suggesting surges in renewable diesel margins. Despite lower refining margins, Q4 earnings surpassed estimates, leading to an increase in regular cash dividends. Some warn of the impact of tariffs on Canadian energy on refinery throughput. However, investors and institutions remain confident, despite a recent loss of 5.4%. Q3 and Q4 2024 earnings results show beats on estimates, but reveal issues with refining margins. Valero is bullish under the Trump presidency, with attention drawn to a significant performance beat thanks to competitive advantages. Even with setbacks after Q3 earnings, the energy company remained promising, with its diversification into both conventional and renewable energies. With a healthy balance sheet, increased dividends, and 83% institutional ownership, Valero's outlook remains positive.
