Downside

Reiterated

01/29/26

We see future FY26 cracks implying a $1.70/bbl decline y/y net of an expected $2.5/bbl increase in RINs; we expect this to be offset primarily by wider crude quality diffs. As such, we see VLO refining margins relatively flat y/y. We lower our FY26 EPS as we account for higher RINs in our estimates. We see VLO trading at ~8% FCF yield, while we estimate a 9% sustaining capex yield compared to our valuation using a 10% sustaining yield. We believe 4Q25 cash flow ex-WC benefited from PTC payments that were booked in deferred charges. See our earnings quick take here.
