Valero Energy Corp (VLO) has declared a quarterly dividend of $1.13 per share, reaffirming its commitment to returning value to shareholders. The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on December 17, 2025, with an ex-dividend date set for November 19, 2025. Investors must own shares before this date to qualify for the dividend.
Currently, Valero's dividend yield stands at 2.57%, reflecting the annual dividend income relative to the stock price. The company, which operates in the energy sector, engages in the manufacture and marketing of transportation fuels and other petrochemical products. Headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, Valero employs 9,898 full-time employees and operates 15 petroleum refineries across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
The announcement highlights Valero's ongoing strategy of providing regular income to its investors, a practice that may appeal to those focused on dividend income. With a market capitalization of $53.7 billion and a P/E ratio of 35.91, the firm demonstrates a robust financial profile. Upcoming earnings are scheduled for July 21, 2026, with an estimated EPS of $3.77 and revenue of $28.5 billion.
Such decisions reflect the company’s ability to generate cash flow and manage capital allocation effectively. While regular dividend payments can be attractive, investors should consider the company's dividend history and overall financial health when assessing the sustainability of these payments.
