Valero price target raised to $192 from $160 at Citi

Citi analyst Vikram Bagri raised the firm’s price target on Valero to $192 from $160 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst refreshed the company’s model for the latest commodity prices. Valero embarked on a larger maintenance period in Q1, which should position the company well ahead of a potentially strong summer driving season, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, Citi sees low prospects for a sharp price reaction to the Q1 print with the shares up 29% year-to-date.
