Valero Energy stock jumps 4% as California imports plan and Venezuela oil headlines hit refiners

Valero Energy stock jumps 4% as California imports plan and Venezuela oil headlines hit refiners

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. Valero plans to begin idling process units in February for mandatory state inspections and expects most units to be properly shut down by April; California Governor Gavin Newsom called the move a “constructive shift” and Valero said it will meet contractual supply obligations by drawing on inventories and imports. The stock hit $191 earlier; Marathon Petroleum rose 1.6%, Phillips 66 added 0.4% and PBF Energy gained 5.1%. Reuters
Venezuela oil deal puts Chevron, Valero and PBF in focus before the U.S. open

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

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.

Valero Energy Stock (NYSE: VLO) Watch: Oil Slumps on Supply-Glut Fears as Wall Street Nears New Highs—What Investors Need Before Monday’s Open

Valero Energy Corporation heads into Monday’s session at the center of two powerful—and potentially conflicting—crosscurrents: a U.S. equity market that is ending 2025 near record territory, and a crude-oil tape that has been pressured by renewed concerns about a global supply glut heading into 2026. With the New York Stock Exchange closed for the weekend, investors are using the pause to reassess what drives refiners like Valero: not just the absolute price of oil, but the spread between crude and refined products, plus shifting expectations for demand, exports, and renewable-fuels economics.
