Wow, now this puppy has room to grow.

S&P 5***** star rating
VLO, currently, has rather low ROE.
Will that metric improve in the future as its geographic competitive advantage suggests?
From the S&P stock report:
Our strong buy opinion reflects our belief that the company is well positioned to benefit from the increasing oil production from shale plays and the Canadian oil sands. Most of this oil is traveling through the Mid-Continent and heading toward the Gulf Coast. We see Valero, as the largest Gulf Coast refiner, benefiting from the increasing supplies, which should lead to lower input costs, creating a cost advantage. We also expect Valero to gain from higher global distillate demand. Its two hydrocracker projects should boost its distillate yields to 39% from 33%.

Refiners have a monopoly on gas production. Due to requlation there is a virtual block to any new refineries or even expansion of existing ones leaving them without competition. Limited production of gasoline keeps prices high and as oil prices come down due to domestic production increases the spread of input costs to output prices increases. These are all money makers and should be added to your porfolio on any dips.

Texas crude oil is high quality, increased quantity and low cost. Valero refineries are in best situation to make full advantage of this crude.

Seems to be a soild company which we rely on (as far as what they provide in society). They're growing, even if there are dips in their value. I think over the years, if teh economy as a whole improves, VLO should grow.
