Valero Q3 FY2026: EPS jumps to $23.89 on 20.4% margin
Valero’s third quarter is a sharp margin-led beat: revenue reached $46.10 billion, gross margin hit 20.4%, and EPS of $23.89 topped the $21.28 consensus. Read it as a refining-cycle print, not a broad-based growth story: Refining produced $8.78 billion of $9.07 billion operating income while Ethanol and Renewable Diesel stayed much smaller. The filing gives no quantitative guidance, so the quarter’s numbers carry the story.
