On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) is &#8220;so high,&#8221; and it's also losing so much money.&#8221; He added that it's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IONQ">too speculative&#8221; for him</a>.
As per the recent news, IonQ, on May 23, formed a strategic partnership with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information, or KISTI, to advance South Korea's quantum technology goals.
Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) is &#8220;literally five years behind GE Vernova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>),&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;I don't have the time for that when I can just go buy GE Vernova.&#8221;
As per the recent news, Oklo, on May 27, signed an MOU with Korea Hydro &amp; Nuclear Power to collaborate on the development and deployment of its nuclear technology.
Cramer said he prefers Phillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) over Valero Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>). &#8220;I think Valero's already had too much of a run,&#8221; he added.
On the earnings front, Valero Energy, on April 24, reported a first-quarter sales of $30.26 billion, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $28.68 billion.
Verona Pharma plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRNA#NASDAQ">VRNA</a>) is a &#8220;rocket ship. Again, very, very speculative because it loses a lot of money. Does have a couple things in the pipe that people like, but also has a huge amount of insider selling, frankly,&#8221; Cramer said.
Verona Pharma, on April 29, reported mixed results for the first quarter.
&#8220;What a horse,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#NYSE">LEU</a>). &#8220;I suggest that you calm down and you buy GE Vernova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>).&#8221;
On the earnings front, Centrus Energy, on May 7, reported better-than-expected first-quarter revenue results.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

This Senator Just Sold Up To $700K In Thermo Fisher Scientific Stock

Goldman Sachs analyst Neil Mehta upgraded Valero Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>) from Neutral to Buy rating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VLO/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $154</a>.
The analyst believes current consensus expectations better reflect concerns about oil product demand and tighter crude differentials.
The analyst estimates EPS to grow from around $7.50 this year to over $12.50 in 2027.
The bullish stance reflects share repurchases, limited refining capacity increases, and improving crude differentials from the returning OPEC+ supply.
While a hard landing for oil demand and the economy is a key risk, the analyst notes positive developments in China-U.S. trade relations as highlighted by GS Economics Research.
Also, Valero offers unique advantages such as lowest production cost, Gulf Coast exposure with a perceived crude/product advantage and ongoing capital returns supported by a near $5 billion cash balance, adds the analyst.
The analyst raised EPS estimates to $7.49 for 2025, $11.46 for 2026 and $12.67 for 2027, from the previous projections of $6.33, $9.84, and $11.30, respectively.
The analyst&#8217;s 2025 and 2026 EPS estimates are 12% and 10% above FactSet consensus, respectively.
Mehta is increasing the estimates to account for the strengthening underlying factors and now believes consensus estimates are unlikely to be revised downwards.
In April, the company reported first-quarter sales of $30.26 billion, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $28.68 billion and adjusted EPS of 89 cents, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44977776/valero-posts-higher-than-expected-profit-despite-sharp-refining-margin-decline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44977776/valero-posts-higher-than-expected-profit-despite-sharp-refining-margin-decline">42 cents.</a>
VLO Price Action: VLO shares are up 4.42% at $136.26 at publication on Tuesday.

Late last week, Valero Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44977776/valero-posts-higher-than-expected-profit-despite-sharp-refining-margin-decline">better-than-declined quarterly profits</a>.
So far this year, the company's stock has underperformed its closest peer, Marathon Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) by around 6%. It also underperformed the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) by about 3%, according to Goldman Sachs.
The Valero Energy Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586f95cd72b34c0001c9b160/neil-mehta">Analyst Neil Mehta</a> upgraded the rating from Sell to Neutral, while raising the price target from $115 to $127.
The Valero Energy Thesis: Many of the headwinds that resulted in the stock's underperformance are now reversing, Mehta said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The analyst stated three reasons for the upgrade:
<ul>
<li>Following consensus revisions, expectations better reflect "the deceleration in refining profitability with VLO 2025 EPS having been negatively revised by ~50% over the last year," he said.</li>
<li>The crude environment seems to be improving and the OPEC had begun adding barrels into the market, Mehta mentioned. "We believe the incremental heavy barrels should support more favorable crude differentials and support margins at Valero," he further wrote.</li>
<li>Although the demand environment in uncertain, the supply side is faced with larger refining closures.</li>
</ul>
"We additionally highlight the company's relatively healthy balance sheet and strong cash flow generation which we believe supports the company's continued commitment to shareholder returns," Mehta said.
Price Action: Shares of Valero Energy had risen by 0.32% to $115.14 at the time of publication on Tuesday.
