Valero Energy reports decline in Q2 2025 profits
Valero Energy has declared net income attributable to its stockholders of $714m, equating to $2.28 per share, for the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025). This figure represents a decrease from net income of $880m, or $2.71 per share, for the same period in the previous year. The renewable diesel segment, including the Diamond Green Diesel joint venture, experienced an operating loss of $79m, contrasting with operating income of $112m in Q2 2024. The refining segment, however, showed resilience with operating income of $1.3bn for Q2 2025, a slight increase from $1.2bn in Q2 2024. Valero chairman, CEO and president Lane Riggs said: 'We delivered solid financial results for the second quarter, driven by our strong operational and commercial execution. 'In fact, we set a record for refining throughput rate in our US Gulf Coast region in the second quarter, demonstrating the benefits of our investments in growth and optimisation projects.' The Ethanol segment reported operating income of $54m, a decrease from the $105m recorded in the previous year. General and administrative expenses rose to $220m, up from $203m in Q2 2024. Net cash from operating activities stood at $936m in Q2 2025, encompassing an unfavourable effect of $325m from changes in working capital. Adjusted net cash provided by operating activities, excluding certain items, was $1.3bn. Capital investments reached $407m, with the majority allocated to sustaining the business. The company continued to return value to stockholders, with $695m returned in Q2 through dividends and share repurchases. Quarterly cash dividend on common stock was announced at $1.13 per share, payable on 2 September 2025. Lane Riggs said: 'We remain committed to maintaining our track record of commercial and operational excellence, which has been a hallmark of Valero's strategy for over a decade. 'Our commitment remains underpinned by a strong balance sheet that also provides us plenty of financial flexibility.' The company also repaid a $251m outstanding principal balance of its senior notes and ended the quarter with $8.4bn of total debt and $4.5bn in cash and cash equivalents. Despite the mixed financial performance, Valero is investing in the future with a $230m FCC Unit optimisation project at the St. Charles Refinery, scheduled for completion in 2026. Valero intends to operate its refineries at a level approaching 94% of their aggregate capacity in Q3. Earlier in the year, Valero Energy announced the closure of its Benicia and Wilmington refineries in California, citing a challenging regulatory environment and rising costs.

'You Can't Even Afford Rent': Ramsey Hosts Clash With Woman Trying To Buy An RV While $40K In Debt
"You can't even afford rent," career expert and "The Ramsey Show" co‑host Ken Coleman said in a recent episode. He addressed Rachel, a Dallas caller whose 2023 flood pushed her family into her parents' RV. Finance coach and fellow co‑host Jade Warshaw echoed the warning. The hosts insisted that wiping out $40,000 in debt must outrank buying another camper, no matter how daunting Texas rents appear for families today. Rough Math Meets Tough Love Rachel told the hosts that her household lives rent‑free on her parents' land, that she has pared her unsecured balances to $40,000 and that she has banked just $2,500. She brings home $70,000 and her husband earns $11 an hour while pursuing marine‑biology studies. Coleman said monthly rent should stay at $1,250 to preserve cash for repayments. Don't Miss: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics—now it's your turn to $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. "You should not stop paying down your debt to buy an RV," Coleman said. "You have no idea what it will cost," Warshaw said. Coleman urged moving closer to Rachel's workplace and pausing coursework so her husband can seek higher wages — steps the show's hosts often prescribe for callers in similar binds. Debt Data Mirrors Caller's Strain The couple's predicament mirrors broader figures. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York in May pegged household balances at $18.2 trillion in Q1 and reported that mortgage balances climbed $199 billion. Freddie Mac said the 30‑year fixed rate averaged 6.72% for the week of July 10. Higher rates feed steeper obligations. Typical monthly debt payments reached $1,237, up 5% year over year, Experian found. The Bureau of Labor Statistics showed shelter costs rising 3.8% in June from a year earlier, pressuring renters already juggling larger credit card balances and pricier auto loans. Trending: This AI-Powered Trading Platform Has 5,000+ Users, 27 Pending Patents, and a $43.97M Valuation — With budgets squeezed, 64% of workers plan a second job or side gig this year, according to the American Staffing Association. Coleman's rent ceiling reflects those realities, emphasizing liquidity for repairs and emergencies instead of new liabilities. Map To Move Forward Coleman told the caller to "get your income up and change your lifestyle." He recommended relocating nearer to work, trimming transportation costs and delaying further study. Warshaw, who once eliminated $460,000 herself, said every extra dollar must attack principal until balances vanish. Ramsey Solutions' Baby Step 2 guide endorses the avalanche method, which targets the highest‑interest debts first and the snowball, which clears the smallest balances for quick wins.
