Valero Energy (VLO) Beats Q3 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
Valero Energy Corporation VLO posted third-quarter 2019 income of $1.48 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.35. However, quarterly earnings decreased from the year-ago figure of $2.01 per share.
Total revenues fell from $30,849 million in the prior-year period to $27,249 million in the quarter under review. However, the top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $24,594 million.
The better-than-expected results can be attributed to lower total cost of sales and the Diamond Green Diesel plant expansion. However, this was partially offset by narrower crude oil discounts, relative to the Brent Crude benchmark, and higher corn prices.
The company spent $525 million on Central Texas pipelines and terminals, which were completed in the reported quarter.
