VLOValero Energy
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: cheap vs its sector, but at the top of its own P/E range.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 18.0 vs a 9.9 median over 36 quarters (+82% vs median).
Sector median 12.7× across 65 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
