VLOValero Energy
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though at the top of its own P/E range.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 17.4 vs a 9.9 median over 36 quarters (+75% vs median).
Sector median 13.3× across 65 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.

Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
