Bulls: Valero beat steep earnings estimates of $21.23 per share by an impressive $2.67, with refining margins driven through the roof by the Iran war. The stock is attempting to turn as the 5-day and 20-day moving averages squeeze, and it was named a TTG Weekend Focus stock. One trader opened a 3DTE $400 call for a bounce, with another calling for a squeeze to $515–$550.

Bears: Valero posted its largest down day of the entire uptrend since April 4, 2025, falling 8.2% and ranking among the worst S&P 500 performers alongside Phillips 66 (-6.3%), with one post calling it the biggest point loss ever from the most overbought position ever. The weekly chart printed an evening star — a bearish continuation candle closed below the prior spinning top's low — and Freedom Broker downgraded the stock from Hold to Sell on Fri Oct 23. One post attributed the failure to earnings and cited too much crowding in the refining space, while another called $VLO a hard short.
