From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • Lane Riggs said low product inventories, limited excess refining capacity and transportation-fuel demand support Valero’s outlook, while freight costs have changed crude purchasing economics.
  • Harminder Bhullar said Valero would maintain cash above its long-term target for flexibility, while repairs to the Port Arthur DHT unit remain on track for year-end completion.
