Description: CVX Chevron January 28, 2026
Chemical and energy giant Chevron Corp (NYSE: CVX) operates an integrated business split between Upstream (exploration, production, LNG, and carbon-capture activities) and Downstream (refining, marketing, renewable fuels, petrochemicals, and logistics). The company, founded in 1879 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, was renamed from ChevronTexaco in 2005.
In its most recent quarterly filing (Q4 2025), Chevron reported upstream production of 3.1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (≈ 5 % YoY growth driven by new offshore assets), downstream refining margins of $13 per barrel, and free cash flow of $30 billion, supporting a dividend yield of ~4.5 % and a share-repurchase program of $5 billion. Capital expenditures were $12 billion, with $4 billion earmarked for LNG projects and $2 billion for carbon-capture initiatives.
Key sector drivers include sustained global demand for LNG (projected 7 % CAGR through 2030), tightening emissions regulations prompting higher investment in renewable fuels and CCS, and oil price volatility linked to OPEC+ output policies and macro-economic growth differentials. These factors together shape Chevron’s cash-flow sensitivity and long-term growth outlook.
For a deeper quantitative assessment, the ValueRay platform provides a granular breakdown of CVX’s cash-flow sensitivity to oil-price scenarios.
