Company News
Chevron set a US upstream production record of 2,077 MBOED in its second quarter and exceeded earnings per share estimates for seven consecutive quarters. The energy company's Q2 adjusted EPS jumped to $6.06 as revenue rose 51.4% to $67.20bn. The firm captured $1.5bn in Hess savings within a year of closing, beating its original target by 50%. Chevron reached $3bn in annual run-rate cost cuts six months early. The company signed Project Kilby, a 20-year power deal with Microsoft to supply 2.67 gigawatts, targeting mid-teens returns independent of oil prices. Management says talks for similar deals are advanced. Chevron trades at 15 times forward earnings, below the S&P 500's roughly 21 to 23 times multiple. Shares are up 40% year-to-date.
Jim Cramer has praised Chevron Corporation CEO Mike Wirth as a "beacon of rationality" during recent energy market turbulence. Cramer, who has favoured the oil giant for over a year, highlighted Wirth's calm leadership style. Chevron's second quarter showed strong performance, with revenue growing 56% and global upstream production rising 20%. The company reached a milestone of one million barrels in Permian production, expecting capital intensity there to fall 25% by 2026. The firm plans to grow free cash flow and earnings per share by 10% annually through 2030, assuming $70 per barrel oil prices. However, Chevron's heavy reliance on oil, compared to rivals like Shell and Exxon who have diversified into LNG, presents potential vulnerability.
Chevron shares rose 2.1% to $216.58 as Brent crude climbed to $109.20 per barrel, driven by Saudi export disruptions, Libyan outages and infrastructure attacks. The stock now trades 33.55% above its GuruFocus fair value estimate of $162.17. The energy producer reported $12.1 billion in second-quarter earnings whilst worldwide production increased 20%. Chevron reduced debt by $8.4 billion and signed a 20-year power agreement with Microsoft for a West Texas data centre project. The Microsoft deal positions Chevron to supply electricity for AI infrastructure, creating a revenue stream beyond traditional oil and gas. However, the premium valuation suggests investors are pricing in sustained high commodity prices and significant growth from new power opportunities.
PITTSBURGH, PA – Optimus Technologies, a technology company that decarbonizes the largest and most challenging sectors of the transportation industry, announced today a $17.8 million Series A funding round led by Mitsui & Co. out of Tokyo, Japan.

On the 8 September episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer likened Chevron Corporation to a reliable fantasy football kicker, highlighting its 3.4% yield and nearly 40% stock gain this year. He noted that energy stocks like Chevron often trade independently from broader market movements due to oil price dynamics. Chevron's second-quarter earnings showed total revenues of $70.06 billion and net income of $12.1 billion. Worldwide net oil-equivalent production jumped 20% year-over-year to 4.07 million barrels per day, driven by legacy Hess assets and Permian Basin expansion. On 3 September, BMO Capital raised its price target to $235 from $210, citing Venezuela operations as a growth driver. Piper Sandler increased its target to $243 from $207 the same day.
