BeefySignals Energy Rebound & Finance Rally!

🔍 Recommended date: December 19, 2025

🥩 Stock: Valero Energy Corporation 
💹 Ticker: VLO
💼 Sector: Energy
🎯 Estimated return: 1.23% – 2.50%
📅 Date of maximum return: January 19, 2026 (34 days left)

What's the setup:
Triggered by a new 20-day low in December combined with asset down more than 5% over the past 20 days—signaling short-term exhaustion that can precede a bounce if underlying fundamentals remain solid. Valero Energy reported exceptional Q3 2025 results: net income of $1.1 billion ($3.53 per share), revenue of $32.17 billion (beating estimates by 4.89%), and refining throughput at 97% capacity utilization. The company raised full-year EPS guidance and expects FY2026 EPS of approximately $11.04. Valero is returning significant cash to shareholders (over $2.6 billion YTD through dividends and buybacks), and the dividend yield stands at 2.86% with 37 consecutive years of payments. Recent pullback is likely profit-taking after a strong 14% 90-day return, but analyst price targets range from $138–$216, suggesting meaningful upside.​

🥩 Stock: U.S. Bancorp 
💹 Ticker: USB
💼 Sector: Financial Services
🎯 Estimated return: 1.23% – 2.50%
📅 Date of maximum return: April 13, 2026 (118 days left)

What's the setup:
Triggered by a new 55-day high in December and asset up more than 10% over the past 20 days—strong momentum and breakout signals. U.S. Bancorp reported strong Q3 2025 earnings, beating estimates with EPS of $1.22 and posting net income growth of 18% YoY to $1.89 billion. Fee income surged 9.5%, with capital markets fees up 9.3% and trust/investment management fees up 9.4%. The stock has been upgraded by multiple analysts. Consensus analyst price target is $56.31, suggesting ~4% upside from current levels, with expectations for FY2025 EPS growth of 14.3% YoY to $4.55.
