If you believe PSX can sustain its stronger profitability while reducing leverage pressure, then the stock can still be attractive on a relative earnings basis because PSX trades at 19.3x P/E versus VLO at 41.3x and remains inside its historical range; otherwise, the weaker balance-sheet profile argues for caution.
On a P/E basis, PSX at 19.3x is far below VLO at 41.3x, which explains the large implied upside versus the current price. However, the market is not ignoring PSX's valuation entirely: the stock already trades near the upper end of its historical band, suggesting some of the discount has been closed.
