VLO

How is VLO doing right now?

In plain terms: VLO is 4.9% below its highest-ever price. Dipsern checks every past time it was this far down and grades how the next 90 days usually went.

Valero Energy (VLO) sits 4.9% off its peak and is currently in a shallow pullback, last printing at $298.31. Shallow pullbacks like this are routine — historically US Stocks assets revisit a 5-10% dip several times a year, and most resolve back to highs within weeks.

What history says at this drawdown

Across all available history, VLO has spent enough trading days in the 5%-to-0% drawdown band to build a large sample (1433 observations). Dipsern segments these by drawdown depth and computes the rolling median forward 90-day return — that median is the primary signal you see in the full app, and it's substantially more robust than mean-based forecasts because it ignores fat-tail outliers in both directions.

What this means for VLO

S&P 500 names behave differently from small-caps at the same drawdown level — the Dipsern segmentation is per-ticker, so historical base rates for VLO reflect its own volatility regime, not the market's. Shallow pullbacks are where dip-buying frameworks start to pay off, but only marginally. The median forward return in shallow bands is usually positive but not dramatic.
