Valero Energy Corporation (VLO) on Decifer

Why it ranks here

• Its returns on invested money are modest, around 7% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is not growing right now and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a thin share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• It is not watering down its owners with new shares and it returns cash to shareholders.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.
