The downside to this stock is limited (probably $14 to $15 range) while the upside is much higher. Margins have improved due to production cuts but diesel margins are down a lot versus prior year. Valero is the largest producer of gasoline and should benefit from any uptick in the economy. I believe that based on a PE of 10 and EPS of 2.60 the stock has upside to the $26 range.

Valero has been knocked back a lot recently, so it seems to be rather undervalued.
