Valero awards $5,000 to Pediatric Therapy. By: Aprill Murphy Albion, NE (Sept. 30, 2026) - Boone County Health Center (BCHC) has received a $5,000 grant from the Valero Benefit for Children to support its growing Pediatric Therapy program. The funding will help purchase specialized equipment and sensory tools for BCHC's occupational, physical and speech therapy services, helping children build strength, coordination, communication, motor skills and independence. Since its inception just over a year and a half ago, BCHC's Pediatric Therapy program has served more than 60 children, with referrals continuing to grow. The Valero Benefit for Children supports children's programs in communities where Valero has major operations, with a focus on basic needs, education and healthcare. Funds are generated through Valero's annual Benefit for Children charitable event in San Antonio, Texas, which includes golf outings and sporting clays tournaments. Proceeds are then distributed to children's organizations in Valero communities. "We are incredibly grateful to Valero for investing in the kids and our communities," said Aprill Murphy, BCHC Grant Writer. "For rural families, having specialized pediatric therapy close to home means less travel and easier access to consistent care. Support like this allows BCHC to continue growing these services and giving local children the resources they need to reach their fullest potential." Valero has a history of supporting children at BCHC, previously awarding $5,000 annually in 2016, 2017 and 2018 to support a literacy program.

UBS raises Valero Energy price target to $450, sees record high ahead amid refining boom

UBS has raised its price target for Valero Energy Corporation from $355 to $450, maintaining a "Buy" rating. The revised target implies nearly 17% upside and exceeds the stock's all-time high of $393 reached earlier this month. Valero has more than doubled in value since the beginning of 2026, gaining over 133%, driven by strong global refining margins. Ongoing disruptions have curtailed refining capacity worldwide, tightening supplies of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. UBS believes Valero is well-positioned as refining margins remain elevated. The company's disciplined capital allocation and high shareholder returns support the outlook. Valero returned $2.6 billion to shareholders in Q2, up sharply from $695 million year-over-year. However, the stock's valuation may already reflect extraordinary market conditions, and any decline in refining margins could trigger a pullback.

Oil above $100 widens crack spreads, creating investment opportunity in Phillips 66, Valero, and Marathon Petroleum

Oil prices above $100 per barrel are widening crack spreads, creating investment opportunities in refiners Phillips 66, Valero, and Marathon Petroleum. The companies delivered sharply higher second-quarter earnings, with refining strength driving profits significantly above year-ago levels. Phillips 66 reported earnings per share of $9.41 against a $7.50 consensus estimate, roughly four times its year-ago earnings. Revenue reached $52.04 billion versus the $43.60 billion expected. Analyst price targets for the three refiners trail current share prices, suggesting the market is pricing in margin strength faster than Wall Street models. Of 21 firms covering Phillips 66, 15 give it a buy rating against six holds. The consensus price target sits near $222, approximately 15% below recent trading levels.
