This Stock Is a Lot Cheaper Than ExxonMobil Right Now

ExxonMobil is built to make a lot of money. But this underappreciated refiner is ultra-cheap and built to weather the entire oil market cycle.

By Jason Hall and Tyler Crowe – Feb 19, 2023 at 6:05AM EST

ExxonMobil (XOM +0.30%) has gone from a decade of being a laggard stock to being highly profitable and a winning investment. But it may not be the best oil stock to buy today. In this video, Motley Fool contributors Jason Hall and Tyler Crowe explain why Valero Energy (VLO 1.49%), with a super-strong business and a dirt-cheap valuation, may be the smarter energy stock to buy right now. 

*Stock prices used were from the afternoon of Feb. 9, 2023. The video was published on Feb. 19, 2023.
