Valero Earnings Beat Wall Street, Impressive Quarter for DGD
Valero Energy earnings beat Wall Street analyst estimates for the Q2 2023 by posting a $5.40 per share profit, beating the average analysts’ estimate of $5.08. Revenue plummeted to $34.5 billion, falling below analysts’ expectations of $34.82 billion. Revenue was well below the $51.6 billion posted for Q2 2022.
