Market Focus08-10 22:05

On August 10, Chevron rose 3.08% in regular trading, trading at $192.36/share, with turnover of $200 million.

On the news front, Chevron's previously reported Q2 results significantly exceeded market expectations, driving continued buying interest. The company posted adjusted EPS of $6.06, well above the consensus estimate of $5.55, while revenue reached $70 billion, up 56.2% year-over-year and beating estimates by $9.62 billion. Net income surged to $12 billion, up nearly 400% from $2.5 billion a year earlier, marking the highest quarterly profit in at least six years.

The earnings surge was fueled by Iran conflict-driven oil price increases, with the downstream refining segment profit soaring to $4.9 billion from $737 million a year ago. Additionally, Chevron signaled capital discipline, guiding full-year organic capex toward the lower end of its $18-19 billion range, with per-barrel capital spending expected to decline 25% year-over-year. The company also maintained its $3 billion quarterly buyback and $3.5 billion dividend. Tengiz field production doubled between July 31 and August 9, further supporting sentiment.
