Buy Valero on a Diesel-Led Rally: Position for a 2026 Mega-Cycle Repeat
Valero reported a strong Q1 beat and sits squarely in the winner’s box if diesel and crack spreads remain elevated. The stock has pulled back from intraday highs after a conservative Q2 throughput guide. This trade idea buys that pullback with a defined stop and a 180-trading-day horizon to capture the next leg of a potential mega-cycle.
