2 Profit Margin According to the data, Phillips had the most significant profit margin in 2018, reaching 5.01%, followed by Valero, which came in at 2.66%. After analyzing the provided data from 2018 to 2022, Phillips 66 and Valero had a significant increase in revenue retained (Julie Harris, Kevin Hack). In 2020, there was a substantial decline in the refining industry due to the pandemic, causing the demand for motor fuels and refined petroleum products to decrease substantially, causing Phillips and Valero to suffer significantly. The pattern in the chart indicates that Phillips and Valero have been doing well since 2020 because they have kept their profit margins at a high level, proving that they have effectively managed their costs and maintained a high operational efficiency. Sales Growth After analyzing the data, the graph details the increase during the past five years, where Valero had the highest sales growth rate in 2018, coming in at 20%, followed by Phillips at 8%. After the decline in 2020, the effect of the pandemic challenged the market conditions in many
3 aspects, increasing market interest in renewable diesel production and causing pre-existing plants to scale down, even contributing to the close of a handful of refineries. Since then, Valero seemed to have strong resilience after significantly decreasing by 67%. (eia.gov). The pattern in the figure indicates that Phillips and Valero have been doing well in terms of their sales growth, as both companies have kept their growth rates at relatively high levels over the last five years. This proves that they have secured a more significant portion of the market and maintained their position as a competitive force.

4 Earnings per share According to the chart, Phillips had the best earnings per share in 2018 at $11.80, followed by Valero at $7.29. Looking at the data provided by Macrotrends after the decline in 2020 , Phillips and Valero have been doing well in terms of their earnings per share; both have managed to keep their shares at a relatively high level over the last five years. This would imply that they have expanded their profitability and earned higher returns for their shareholders due to their efforts. Moreover, the resilience of both companies proves that they are profitable and can quickly bring a return on investment after unfavorable conditions and unforeseen declinations.
