## What Does Valero Energy's Balance Sheet Show?

| Cash and cash equivalents | $4.7 billion |

| Total assets | $58.0 billion |
| Total liabilities | Not reported |
| Shareholders' equity | $23.7 billion |

Balance sheet values are as of the end of fiscal 2025. Income statement figures describe a whole year; balance sheet figures describe a single day, so the two answer different questions.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Valero Energy reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001628280-26-011499 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
