What Is Valero Energy?
Greedy at the bottom.
Valero Energy is one of the largest independent petroleum refiners in North America, turning crude into petrol, diesel and jet fuel across a fleet of Gulf Coast refineries, plus one of the world's biggest renewable diesel operations. Refiners do not earn on the price of oil, they earn on the spread between crude and the fuel it becomes, which is why this stock can double in a year when the barrel does not. Its window on the CFGI index covers exactly such a year: margins lifted by disruption to Gulf shipping, and its Benicia refinery wound down to a stop.
The CFGI read: Valero's sentiment peaked on a day the shares were cheaper than on the day it bottomed. The high, 85 out of 100 and Extreme Greed, came on 5 March 2026 with the stock at $228.03. The low, 23 out of 100 and plain Fear, came three and a half months later on 18 June 2026 at $236.30, more than eight dollars higher. This crowd prices the refining spread, not the share price, and over that stretch the two came apart entirely.
Valero Energy Fear and Greed Index History
Q3 2026 breakdown. The table below updates daily.
Across 273 scored days from 23 June 2025 to 24 July 2026 Valero rarely closed in Extreme Fear, which ranks it 242nd of the stocks we track by that measure, effectively the calm end of the board. The most anxious stretch it managed was nine days of Fear or worse from 31 July to 12 August 2025, wrapped around the price low of $131.77 on 11 August 2025. On its worst sentiment day, 18 June 2026, 101 of 246 stocks were in Fear or worse and just 5 in Extreme Fear, so there was no market panic to blame.
From that August low the year was a climb. The shares went from $137.06 at the start of the window to $302.20 at the end, a rise of 120.5%, with the high of $315.21 printed on 20 July 2026. The crowd spent 114 days in Greed and 6 in Extreme Greed, including a four-day Extreme Greed run from 3 to 6 March 2026, and averaged 55 out of 100. Its biggest jump, 32 points on 5 January 2026, and its biggest drop, 36 points on 21 May 2026, bracket a year in which the mood turned on margins rather than the market.
Today's reading is 40 out of 100, Neutral, with the price close to its high. A refiner's crowd watches the spread, not the ticker, and this year the two rarely agreed. That makes Valero one of the cleanest illustrations on the market-wide Fear and Greed Index of sentiment and price pointing opposite ways at once.
