About Chevron Stock (NYSE:CVX)

Chevron Corporation, through a network of subsidiaries, engages in integrated energy and chemicals operations worldwide. The company is the 7th largest integrated oil company worldwide, the 2nd largest in the US, and has been in operation since 1879. Chevron was part of the original Standard Oil Company and is one of the 34 successor companies that were formed when it was broken up. Today, the company brings in roughly $160 billion in annual revenues and is the last remaining oil and gas component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Originally called Standard Oil Of California the company grew quickly via mergers and acquisitions. It was hailed as one of the Seven Sisters to dominate the US and global production throughout the mid-20th century and became even bigger in 1985 when it merged with Gulf Oil. The merger with Gulf Oil resulted in the rebranding from Standard Oil Of California to Chevron (a brand used by the company outside its California jurisdiction) and then ChevronTexaco Corporation in 2005 when that merger took place. The company rebranded again in 2005 to what we know today as Chevron Corporation.

Chevron Corporation is now based in San Ramone, California, and has operations in 180 countries. The company employs more than 42,500 people who operate 5 refineries and 8,000+ Texaco, Chevron, and Standard Oil service stations in the US alone. The company's Exploration and Drilling operations produced a record 3.1 million barrels per day and its US refineries process more than 1 million barrels per day. At the end of 2021, the company has more than 11.3 billion barrels of proven oil and liquid-equivalent reserves and boasted a 112% reserve replacement rate.

The company operates in two segments, Upstream and Downstream. The Upstream segment explores new reserves, develops known reserves, produces petroleum and gas products as needed, transports, processes, pipes, stores, and markets petroleum worldwide. The Downstream segment refines and markets the full line of petroleum-based products including but not limited to fuels such as gas, diesel, and aviation fuel, as well as lubricants, petrochemicals, and plastics. The company transports products via pipeline, rail, marine vessels, and truck.

Chevron recognizes the need to lower the world’s carbon output and is working toward that end. The company’s strategy is two-pronged and includes reducing its own carbon output while investing in green and lower-carbon technologies. The company’s goal is to invest $10 billion or more into lower carbon energy sources and technologies by 2028.

Chevron is a Dividend Aristocrat. The company has been paying a dividend since 1989 and it has raised it every year since its inception.

Should I Buy Chevron Stock? CVX Pros and Cons Explained

Pros

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Chevron:

  • Chevron has received positive ratings from multiple investment analysts, with a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" and an average price target of $186.95, indicating potential for growth.
  • The recent insider selling activity, while notable, could also be interpreted as a sign of confidence in the company's future performance, as insiders typically sell for various reasons, including diversification or personal financial needs.

  • Chevron's diversified operations in the energy and chemicals sectors provide stability and potential for revenue streams from different sources, reducing risk for investors.

Cons

Investors should be bearish about investing in Chevron for these reasons:

  • Despite the positive ratings and outlook, there is always inherent risk in investing in the stock market, and fluctuations in oil prices or regulatory changes could impact Chevron's performance.
  • The recent insider selling activity, totaling 19,546 shares valued at $3,176,223 in the last quarter, may raise concerns about insider sentiment or future company performance.
  • While the company's operations are diversified, exposure to the energy sector can be volatile, subject to geopolitical events, supply-demand dynamics, and environmental regulations, affecting profitability.
  • Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance and investment goals before committing funds to Chevron, as market conditions and industry factors can influence stock performance.
  • The stock price of Chevron, currently at a certain level, may be subject to market volatility and broader economic conditions, impacting short-term returns for investors.
