Chevron has announced that its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mike Wirth will attend Bernstein's 42nd Annual Strategic Decisions Conference on May 28, 2026, and participate in a fireside chat. The session is scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Investors can access a live webcast of the event through the investor relations section of Chevron's corporate website. A replay will be available on the site following the conclusion of the live broadcast. The Bernstein Annual Strategic Decisions Conference is a prominent investment summit in the energy sector, with executives from companies such as ExxonMobil and Circle also slated to attend and speak.
Chevron's recently reported first-quarter 2026 financial results showed adjusted earnings per share of $1.41, significantly surpassing market expectations of $0.92. Revenue reached $48.6 billion, representing a 2.1% year-over-year increase. Although reported net income declined to $2.21 billion, impacted by weaker downstream performance and unfavorable foreign exchange effects, U.S. upstream production grew by 24% year-over-year. This marks the third consecutive quarter that production has remained above 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, primarily driven by the integration of Hess Corporation assets and continued growth in the Permian Basin.
Chevron reaffirmed its full-year 2026 share repurchase target of $10 billion to $20 billion and has increased its dividend for the 39th consecutive year. The company's business exposure to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East accounts for less than 5% of its total production, which is significantly lower than some of its peers. Wirth has previously stated that the company will maintain capital and cost discipline to generate strong cash flow and deliver superior returns to shareholders. Market participants are focused on his latest commentary at the conference regarding oil price trends, the energy transition, and shareholder returns.
