New York, January 7, 2026, 14:27 — Regular session Valero Energy Corp shares rose 4.4% to $186.08 in afternoon trade on Wednesday after the refiner said it will keep importing gasoline into Northern California as it idles its 145,000-barrel-per-day Benicia refinery in April 2026.

Venezuela oil deal puts Chevron, Valero and PBF in focus before the U.S. open

New York, January 7, 2026, 05:50 EST — Premarket Chevron fell 4.4% in premarket trading after President Donald Trump said the United States had reached a deal to import up to $2 billion of Venezuelan crude — roughly 30 million to 50 million barrels — to be sold at market prices. Valero, Marathon Petroleum, Phillips 66 and PBF Energy were down between 1.2% and 7.7%, while Canadian Natural Resources and Cenovus slipped about 2% and Baker Hughes rose 0.6%. Chevron controls Venezuelan oil flows to the United States under a U.S. authorization and has been exporting 100,000 to 150,000 barrels per day, while traders said the prospect of added supply pushed some U.S. Gulf heavy-crude differentials — the price gap to benchmark grades — about 50 cents lower on Tuesday.

  • Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) slips 4% as Apple eyes China chip supplier
    June 29, 2026, 2:40 PM EDT. Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) shares dropped 4% Monday, shrugging off Jefferies' price target hike from late last week. The move comes after reports that Apple may seek U.S. approval to buy low-cost memory chips from China's CXMT. That could pressure pricing for Sandisk and rival Micron, though CXMT mostly makes DRAM and Sandisk sells NAND flash. Some analysts, like Mizuho's Jordan Klein, say the risk may be overblown given current supply shortages and solid demand into 2027-2028. Sandisk was also left off Motley Fool's new top stock picks list, which could weigh on investor sentiment for growth-seekers.
