Valero Energy is a multinational manufacturer and marketer of petroleum-based and low-carbon liquid transportation fuels and petrochemical products. Co.'s operations are managed through the following segments: Refining, which includes the operations of its petroleum refineries, the associated activities to market its refined petroleum products, and the logistics assets that support those operations; Renewable Diesel, which includes the operations of its subsidiary, Diamond Green Diesel Holdings LLC, and the associated activities to market renewable diesel; and Ethanol, which includes the operations of its ethanol plants and the associated activities to market its ethanol and co-products. The Valero Energy YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the Valero Energy YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether Valero Energy YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the VLO YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
