高盛上調Valero評級:看好利潤前景,股價具吸引力




高盛調升瓦萊羅能源評級至「中性」 看好長遠利潤潛力及合理估值

高盛近日將瓦萊羅能源公司(Valero Energy Corp,紐約證券交易所代號:VLO)的投資評級由「賣出」上調至「中性」,主要原因是該公司長遠利潤率有改善潛力,估值亦趨向平衡。

該投行同時調升瓦萊羅的目標股價至127美元,預示潛在總回報約為15%。

分析師指出,升評主要基於三大因素:第一,市場共識修正後更貼近煉油盈利放緩的現實;第二,由於歐佩克(OPEC)增加重質原油供應,原油環境有所改善;第三,隨著大型煉油廠如LyondellBasell墨西哥灣岸廠的關閉,供應面變得更為有利。

儘管需求仍存在不確定性,高盛認為瓦萊羅相對健康的資產負債表及強勁的現金流,有助支持回饋股東。公司資本回報率估計約為9%。

此外,高盛指出,今年以來瓦萊羅股價表現落後於馬拉松石油(Marathon Petroleum,代號:MPC)及能源板塊ETF XLE,但過去約五年來,瓦萊羅股價已顯著跑贏標普500指數約119%,受惠於石油需求復甦、穩定派息及出色營運執行。

分析師認為,瓦萊羅的風險與回報較為平衡,特別是在公司資本配置策略明確,以及對油價差有利及強勁自由現金流的預期下。

編者評論:瓦萊羅能源的升評反映市場對能源板塊中煉油業務的重新評價

高盛此番調升瓦萊羅的評級,透露出市場對煉油行業盈利結構的認知正在變化。過去幾年,煉油業因原油價格波動和環保壓力面臨挑戰,但隨著OPEC調整產量結構及部分大型煉廠退出,煉油供應面變得更為緊湊,為利潤率改善創造條件。

瓦萊羅的資本回報率達約9%,在能源行業中屬較穩健水平,顯示公司財務健康且有能力持續回饋股東。另一方面,儘管今年股價表現不及部分同業,但長期回報率已遠超大市,凸顯該股具備一定的抗跌性和成長潛力。

對香港及亞洲投資者而言,能源股的吸引力在於全球經濟復甦下的原油需求回升,然而同時需關注能源轉型帶來的政策風險。瓦萊羅等大型煉油企業如何平衡環境責任與盈利目標,將成為未來投資決策的關鍵。

總括而言,高盛的升評不僅體現了瓦萊羅短中期基本面的改善,也提醒投資者在能源市場波動中尋找風險與回報的平衡,值得留意其後續資本配置及現金流狀況變化。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection.

Brief Prompt (Suitable for Image Search or Hashtags):

Selfie in the gym, young woman with messy bun and cream jacket, sitting on a training machine, aesthetic sporty, indoor lighting. Without changing her face. A whimsical, artistic scene set in a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳): A charming cat sits comfortably at a small table, elegantly sipping a traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea from a delicate glass. The cat's fur is soft and expressive, and its posture is relaxed yet attentive, suggesting it is a regular at the tea shop. The restaurant interior is bustling yet cozy, adorned with retro posters, old ceiling fans, patterned floor tiles, and Formica tables reflecting the local culture. Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm highlights on the cat and creating a vivid play of shadows. Details include steaming milk tea cups, egg tarts and pineapple buns on the table, and waiters in classic uniforms moving in the background. The overall color palette is rich and atmospheric, blending nostalgia with the lively charm of Hong Kong.
