(BP) vs. Shell plc (SHEL): Two Oil Majors Cash In on the Iran War, But Tell Different Stories", "content_text": "BP p.l.c. (NYSE:BP) and Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) both posted big profit jumps this quarter, mainly due to the same Iran-war-driven surge in oil and gas prices that already drew a public attack from President Trump on Exxon and Chevron for making \"too much money.\" However, the two major European energy companies are telling very different stories underneath that shared huge profit. Why One Company Is Apologizing, and the Other Isn't BP's profit more than doubled as new CEO Meg O'Neill pushes an aggressive turnaround. She has openly admitted the company has \"not delivered consistently\" in recent years. By contrast, Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) just posted its best quarter since 2022 while staying the steady course it has followed for years. This marks its 19th straight quarter of buybacks worth at least $3 billion. This makes you question: is BP's admission of past failure, paired with aggressive restructuring, the right way to catch up with steadier rivals like Shell? Or does Shell's consistency prove BP's dramatic reset was never actually necessary?BP p.l.c. (BP) vs. Shell plc (SHEL): Two Oil Majors Cash In on the Iran War, But Tell Different Stories BP's Bull and Bear Case Profit hit $5.73 billion, beating the $5.11 billion analysts expected and more than doubling from a year earlier. BP p.l.c. (NYSE:BP) raised its dividend 4% and cut net debt to $22.25 billion from $25.3 billion, putting it on track to hit its long-term debt target early. O'Neill laid out a clear five-point turnaround plan. Citi said BP has lost its unwanted status as the most indebted of the major oil firms. However, O'Neill herself admitted BP has \"written off too much value\" and that its \"costs and liabilities are not resilient enough\" for a low-price environment. The company is still selling billions in assets, including its U.S. biogas business, its North Sea operations, and its Austrian retail unit, just to fund the turnaround. Total liabilities remain around $40 billion, which O'Neill herself called too high. The stock actually fell about 2% on earnings day, even with the beat, as oil prices dropped on hopes of a U.S.-Iran deal. BP also went through boardroom turmoil this year, removing its chairman over governance concerns. Shell's Bull and Bear Case Adjusted earnings came in at $9.84 billion, beating the $8.92 billion estimate and marking Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL)'s best quarter since 2022. Net debt fell sharply to $41.75 billion from $52.6 billion, and Shell maintained its 19th consecutive buyback of at least $3 billion. Its integrated gas business grew profit 55% even while dealing with a plant outage. CEO Wael Sawan said Shell built a firm designed to \"thrive through volatility.\" Story Continues However, Shell's Pearl gas-to-liquids plant in Qatar has been offline since March after an attack damaged it, costing the company roughly 10% of its total production, with repairs expected to take about a year. Shell still trades at a discount to European rivals like TotalEnergies and Eni, reflecting investor concerns about its long-term upstream growth. Despite this quarter's strong results, Shell's stock gain for the year still trails BP, Exxon, and Chevron. Insider Monkey's Hedge Fund Data Insider Monkey's hedge fund database shows BP p.l.c. (NYSE:BP) had 49 hedge fund holders as of Q1 2026, down from 51 the quarter before, though the dollar value hedge funds held actually rose from about $4.0 billion to $5.78 billion. Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) had 45 holders, up from 43, with the dollar value held rising from about $4.18 billion to $5.67 billion. Among their U.S. rivals, Exxon had 94 hedge fund holders as of Q1 2026, down from 98, and Chevron had 103, up from 86. BP and Shell both trail the two U.S. majors in total holder count. Conclusion Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) keeps proving that consistency wins in a volatile market, quarter after quarter of steady buybacks and execution.

Private cellular networks remained a specialist segment during the 2G and 3G eras, with deployments such as GSM-R supporting railway communications. The arrival of private LTE in the early 2010s marked a turning point, led by projects including Rio Tinto's mining network in Western Australia, Tampnet's offshore infrastructure and iNET's 700 MHz network in the Permian Basin. Today, private 5G networks are increasingly replacing LTE across industrial and enterprise environments, creating a market opportunity that significantly exceeds that of previous wireless technology generations. Production-grade private 5G deployments continue to expand among leading manufacturers, mining companies, energy providers, transportation operators and technology businesses. Organizations investing in private wireless infrastructure include Airbus, BASF, Bayer, BMW, BP, Chevron, Ford, Foxconn, Google, Hyundai, Intel, Jaguar Land Rover, John Deere, LG Electronics, Lufthansa, Nestle, PETRONAS, POSCO, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, Walmart, Whirlpool and Xerox. Private 5G networks deliver the throughput, latency, reliability, availability and device density required by advanced industrial applications. Capabilities such as URLLC and mMTC support communications between machines, robots, sensors and control systems, while providing a long-term migration path toward future 6G networks. Wider coverage, scalability, deterministic performance, security and mobility support are also strengthening the case for replacing wired connections and interference-prone unlicensed wireless technologies across industrial IoT environments. Adoption is accelerating as organizations across the United States, Canada, Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil increase investment in industrial automation, physical AI and mission-critical communications. Private 5G deployments are now generating measurable improvements in operational efficiency, safety, productivity and cost control. Tesla, Ford, Hyundai, Toyota, LG Electronics, Foxconn, Whirlpool, Salzgitter, BASF, Midea, Gree and JD Logistics are among the organizations that have eliminated connectivity-related stoppages after migrating automated guided vehicle and autonomous mobile robot communications from Wi-Fi to private 5G. Jaguar Land Rover, BD SENSORS and other industrial users have also extended reliable connectivity into plant areas where wired Ethernet was previously too costly or complex to install. Story Continues Additional deployments demonstrate the growing business impact of private 5G infrastructure. Fulin Precision has deployed 100 semi-humanoid robots coordinated through a private 5G-Advanced network. Newmont has extended teleremote and autonomous machine operations from 100 meters to 2.5 kilometers at Australian gold mines. CIMPOR has reported annual savings exceeding $1 million per plant through private 5G-enabled predictive maintenance, while Pegatron has reduced factory reconfiguration costs by as much as 50% through a multinational deployment. Public-sector use cases are delivering comparable benefits. Las Vegas has associated its municipal private 5G network with a 90% reduction in wrong-way driving incidents. Mexico City Police has used standalone private 5G to extend immersive virtual reality training sessions from 25 minutes to 1.5 hours while removing the need for officers to carry bulky equipment. Annual investment in private 5G networks for vertical industries is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 34% between 2026 and 2029, surpassing $6.6 billion by the end of 2029. Much of this expansion will come from localized private 5G networks supporting workforce connectivity, automation and AI applications across enterprise campuses and industrial facilities.

Trump told reporters, \"Chevron, too much money. ExxonMobil, too much. Too much money,\" demanding the companies \"give some of that back to the public.\" Why Record Profits Just Became a Political Problem Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX)'s earnings soared nearly 400% to $12 billion, and ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (NYSE:XOM)'s more than doubled to $14.5 billion, both driven by crude prices that jumped after the U.S. and Israel struck Iran in February and Tehran retaliated by threatening the Strait of Hormuz. Gasoline prices have climbed nearly 40% since the war began, a real problem for Trump heading into November's midterm elections. Earlier Monday, Trump also publicly criticized Chevron CEO Mike Wirth on social media for not crediting his administration during a Fox News interview, writing that without \"the genius, foresight, strength, and stability\" of his administration, the oil industry \"would be DEAD.\" This makes you wonder: Is Trump's political pressure a real threat to these huge oil profits, or just pre-election talk while prices are already sliding on hope the Iran conflict ends soon?ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (XOM) vs. Chevron Corporation (CVX): Trump Attacks the Oil Giants for Making \"Too Much Money\" For illustration purposes only. Photo by Kayden Moore on Pexels Chevron's Bull and Bear Case Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX)'s quarterly profit was its highest in at least six years, and the company's return to Venezuela stands out as a genuine growth story: it stayed in the country through nationalization in 2007 while Exxon and ConocoPhillips both exited, and Trump himself noted Chevron is \"back, far bigger and stronger than ever before.\" However, Chevron shares fell about 2% after Trump's comments Monday, and the company now faces direct presidential pressure to cut prices even as it posts record results. Being singled out by name is a real reputational risk few oil executives want. Exxon's Bull and Bear Case ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (NYSE:XOM)'s profit more than doubled year over year, showing just how much the Iran-driven price spike has boosted the industry's biggest player. The company still makes huge amounts of cash, even without a big comeback story like Chevron's. Still, Exxon shares also slipped after Trump's remarks. Unlike Chevron, Exxon left Venezuela in 2007, leaving it with fewer growth options besides high oil prices, which just dropped 5% on Monday as Iran tensions eased. Story Continues Insider Monkey's Hedge Fund Data Insider Monkey's hedge fund database shows Chevron had 103 hedge fund holders as of Q1 2026, up from 86 the quarter before, with the dollar value hedge funds held rising from about $26.3 billion to $29.6 billion. ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (NYSE:XOM) had 94 holders, down from 98. Among refining peers, Valero had 67 holders, up from 65, and Marathon Petroleum had 54, down from 64. Chevron draws more hedge fund interest than Exxon and both refiners. Conclusion Both companies just posted some of their best results in years, but the same war that delivered those profits has now put a target on their backs in Washington. Neither company controls how long that political pressure or the high oil prices behind it will last. Overall, Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) wins since it draws more hedge fund interest than Exxon. While we acknowledge the potential of CVX as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

EPS came in at $6.06, compared to $1.77 in the year-ago quarter. The reported revenue represents a surprise of +21.78% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $57.53 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $5.80, the EPS surprise was +4.48%. While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance. As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately. Here is how Chevron performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts: U.S. Upstream - Net oil-equivalent production per day: 2077 millions of barrels of oil equivalent per day versus 2046.62 millions of barrels of oil equivalent per day estimated by four analysts on average. U.S. and International Upstream - Total net oil-equivalent production: 4070 millions of barrels of oil equivalent versus the four-analyst average estimate of 4047.93 millions of barrels of oil equivalent. International Upstream - Net oil-equivalent production per day: 1993 millions of barrels of oil equivalent per day versus the four-analyst average estimate of 2001.05 millions of barrels of oil equivalent per day.

These new contracts fall within its role as an equipment provider to large-scale electricity projects and offshore oil and gas infrastructure. We've flagged 0 risks for Siemens Energy. See which could impact your investment. How these new contracts feed into the Siemens Energy investment story Siemens Energy's Narrative centres on turning strong order intake in gas and grid into durable earnings, while managing policy, cost and execution risks. These new AI data center and Petrobras FPSO contracts sit right in the middle of that tension. Robust order growth, secular energy transition trends, operational turnarounds, and a healthy financial position all support sustained profitability, resilience, and long-term value creation... Read the full Siemens Energy narrative to see the case behind these numbers On the bullish side, the 1 GW data center turbine deal reinforces the Narrative that gas power contracts can benefit from surging electricity demand, alongside secular electrification themes. The Petrobras related work in Brazil aligns with the idea of diversified international order intake, which can support utilisation of Siemens Energy's installed base and service potential. On the bearish side, both agreements add to an already large backlog that the Narrative flags as a possible source of working capital strain and execution risk. Large, complex projects in Brazil and power hungry data centers can also expose Siemens Energy to policy changes and input cost pressures, similar to what competitors like General Electric and Mitsubishi Power face. The takeaway is that the same contracts can look like proof of the bull case or fuel for the bear case, depending on which Siemens Energy Narrative you lean toward.

You can see all of today's research reports here >>> Today's Featured Research Reports Shares of Costco have gained +10.4% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Retail - Discount Stores industry's gain of +14.8%. The company remains well-positioned due to its differentiated membership-based warehouse model, strong value proposition and loyal customer base. It continues to benefit from recurring membership income, high renewal rates and growing engagement from higher-value members. Its focus on offering quality merchandise at competitive prices supports steady traffic and reinforces customer loyalty. Costco is also enhancing its digital ecosystem through e-commerce, personalization tools, AI-driven product discovery and convenient fulfillment options, helping improve the member experience. Also, the company is expanding its warehouse footprint and investing in productivity-enhancing initiatives to support long-term growth. Backed by a strong balance sheet, Costco is well-positioned to strengthen its market leadership and drive sustainable growth over time. (You can read the full research report on Costco here >>>) Chevron's shares have gained +24.7% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Oil and Gas - Integrated - International industry's gain of +28.6%. The company remains well positioned for long-term growth, supported by its strong production growth, helped by the Hess acquisition, Permian expansion and Gulf of America operations. The Hess integration is progressing well, while cost efficiencies and lower capital intensity should improve resilience. Chevron is also expanding into data-center power, creating a potential new source of long-term growth. However, the company remains highly sensitive to oil and gas prices, while weaker refined-product demand could pressure its downstream business. Chevron's premium valuation limits the scope for further upside, and geopolitical disruptions could affect operations. Low U.S. natural gas prices and delays in international projects add further uncertainty. Hence, investors are advised to wait for a better entry point. (You can read the full research report on Chevron here >>>) Shares of Home Depot have outperformed the Zacks Retail - Home Furnishings industry over the year-to-date period (+4.9% vs. +2.8%). The company continues to invest in an integrated retail model, digital investments, and Pro-focused initiatives. Seamless connectivity across the stores, online platforms, and supply chain is enhancing customer experience and driving higher engagement. The Pro segment continues to outperform, supported by targeted investments and expanding ecosystem capabilities. SRS remains a key Pro lever, with the Mingledorff's deal adding an HVAC vertical and extending cross-sell opportunities. However, Home Depot's EPS decreased year over year in first-quarter fiscal 2026 as mix and costs weighed on margins.

Tightening emissions requirements are raising compliance expenses, while permanently retiring these facilities can be costly, disruptive and politically difficult. Many of these plants continue to play an important role in maintaining grid reliability and supplying thermal energy, making premature shutdowns potentially problematic. FuelCell Energy's strategy centers on extending the useful life of existing assets by integrating carbon capture technology directly into current exhaust streams. This enables plants to continue operating with substantially lower emissions while avoiding the significant capital costs associated with building replacement infrastructure. Unlike traditional carbon capture technologies that can consume approximately 20% of a power plant's electricity output, FuelCell Energy's carbonate fuel cells produce additional electricity while capturing carbon. That incremental generation can create an added revenue stream and strengthen overall project returns. Producing power and heat on-site can also lower operating expenses by eliminating transmission losses, which average roughly 5% across the U.S. grid. The system's high-temperature operation also supports combined heat and power applications, enabling facilities to use both electricity and thermal energy efficiently at the point of consumption. Scalability adds another advantage to FCEL's commercial proposition. Its modular architecture can support projects ranging from sub-megawatt installations to large, multi-megawatt fuel cell parks. Individual stacks generate between 250 kilowatts and 400 kilowatts, while four-stack modules provide approximately 1.4 megawatts of net output, offering considerable flexibility in system design. This combination of stack-level and module-level configuration makes the platform suitable for a broad range of industrial and utility applications. Better capture economics, longer asset lives and scalable deployment could collectively strengthen FuelCell Energy's demand outlook and long-term investment potential. Although technologies, such as FuelCell Energy, demonstrate how carbon capture can improve the economics of existing fossil-fuel facilities, momentum behind carbon capture and storage (\"CCS\") extends well beyond emerging technology developers. Large and established energy companies are also deploying capital and leveraging decades of operating expertise to make carbon capture an important component of their long-term strategies. Story Continues Major Energy Companies Expand Their Carbon Capture Efforts Oil and gas giant Chevron Corporation CVX considers CCS an important technology for supporting a lower-carbon energy future and brings decades of experience to the field. Chevron helped advance large-scale CO2 injection at its SACROC unit nearly four decades ago and has safely operated CO2 pipeline infrastructure, including the company-led Raven Ridge line in Colorado, for many years. Chevron also leads the Gorgon CCS project, which has injected more than 10 million tons of CO2, while pursuing additional developments such as Bayou Bend CCS in Texas. Meanwhile, another major energy producer, Occidental Petroleum OXY, has more than five decades of experience in carbon storage and has made carbon capture a central part of its climate strategy. Occidental believes large-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage can provide near-term emissions reductions while supporting longer-term climate objectives. Through its 1PointFive subsidiary, Occidental is scaling Direct Air Capture technology developed by Carbon Engineering. The company is also investing in carbon utilization initiatives, storage hubs and carbon markets aimed at supporting global CO2 removal efforts and broader net-zero ambitions.

The company remains well positioned for long-term growth, supported by its strong production growth, helped by the Hess acquisition, Permian expansion and Gulf of America operations. The Hess integration is progressing well, while cost efficiencies and lower capital intensity should improve resilience. Chevron is also expanding into data-center power, creating a potential new source of long-term growth. However, the company remains highly sensitive to oil and gas prices, while weaker refined-product demand could pressure its downstream business. Chevron's premium valuation limits the scope for further upside, and geopolitical disruptions could affect operations. Low U.S. natural gas prices and delays in international projects add further uncertainty. Hence, investors are advised to wait for a better entry point.

The combination of sharply higher profits and US$9.4 billion returned to investors through dividends and repurchases in the quarter highlights ExxonMobil's current focus on converting strong cash generation into direct shareholder payouts. We'll now examine how ExxonMobil's significantly higher quarterly earnings and sustained buybacks could influence the company's existing investment narrative and risk profile. Find 52 companies with promising cash flow potential yet trading below their fair value. ExxonMobil Holdings Investment Narrative Recap To own ExxonMobil today, you need to believe the company can keep turning its large legacy oil and gas base into steady cash flow while gradually repositioning toward lower carbon solutions. The latest quarter's stronger profits and US$9.4 billion in buybacks and dividends support the near term catalyst of shareholder returns. However, they do little to reduce the biggest current risk around long term hydrocarbon demand and decarbonization pressure on core assets. The completion of the US$81.63 billion multi year buyback, retiring about 17.7% of shares, feels particularly relevant here. It amplifies the impact of any future earnings outcomes on remaining shareholders, for better or worse, and ties the short term appeal of capital returns to longer term questions about whether projects in the Permian, Guyana and emerging low carbon lines can sustain the earnings base behind those payouts. Yet against these generous buybacks and dividends, investors should still be aware of the growing tension between ExxonMobil's hydrocarbon heavy portfolio and accelerating decarbonization...

BP (NYSE:BP), a global energy producer and refiner, delivered a much stronger second quarter, and investors liked what they saw. Its U.S.-listed shares jumped roughly 2.1% Monday after underlying replacement-cost profit surged to $5.7 billion. That was about $2.5 billion higher than the previous quarter and more than double the $2.35 billion earned a year ago. Higher commodity prices helped. So did refining and trading. And with Brent crude back above $86 as uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz refuses to disappear, BP suddenly has a much friendlier oil market behind it. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with BP. Is BP fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. But the real win is cash and what BP is doing with it. The dividend is going up 4%, while net debt fell by roughly $3 billion in a single quarter. Chief Executive Meg O'Neill now has more firepower to attack the balance sheet and strip away businesses that no longer fit. Archaea, BP's U.S. biogas operation, is heading for the exit as part of a divestment push targeting $20 billion through 2027. That is the turnaround investors want to see: stronger profits, less debt and a tighter portfolio. There is just one catch. At $42.66, BP trades about 8.4% above its $39.34 GF Value estimate. The stock is no longer screaming cheap. Now comes the harder part. BP plans to spend $13.5 billion to $14 billion this year while paying shareholders, cutting leverage and selling assets without giving them away. Oil above $86 makes that equation look comfortable. Oil will not always cooperate. That is why the next leg of BP's story cannot simply be higher crude prices lifting every boat. O'Neill needs to prove BP can keep throwing off cash, hammer down debt and sharpen operations when the commodity tailwind fades. The turnaround is gaining teeth. The valuation is gaining expectations. From here, BP has to deliver.

Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), the oil-and-gas giant with operations stretching from the Permian to Guyana and Qatar, reported a monster $14.5 billion second-quarter profit as its shares jumped roughly 3.3% Monday morning. Adjusted earnings landed at $14.7 billion, or $3.52 per share, backed by $23.6 billion of operating cash flow. But earnings are only half the story. Oil is heating up again. Brent crude climbed nearly 2% after Iran put conditions on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, throwing fresh uncertainty over a critical artery for global energy supplies. For Exxon, higher oil prices can turn an already powerful cash machine into an even bigger one. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with XOM. Is XOM fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. And Exxon is pumping hard. Production reached roughly 4.5 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, while the Permian Basin smashed another record at more than 1.8 million barrels per day. That firepower helped absorb roughly 450,000 barrels per day of unavailable Qatar production. Upstream earnings still reached $9.2 billion, and Exxon posted its highest second-quarter diesel production as its U.S. refineries ran at high utilization. That is the advantage of Exxon's enormous footprint. One region can stumble without knocking the whole machine off course. The Permian, in particular, is becoming an increasingly important shock absorber when international production gets messy.Exxon Stock Jumps 3.3% as Oil Supply Fears Return\u00b7us.finance.gurufocus But investors are already paying for plenty of good news. GuruFocus puts Exxon at $158.05 on Aug. 10 versus a GF Value of just $120.55, meaning the stock trades 31.1% above GF Value. That premium makes the Hormuz situation a double-edged sword. A prolonged disruption could keep crude expensive and supercharge Exxon's realized prices, but management has warned that a full-quarter closure could knock roughly 750,000 barrels per day from third-quarter production versus the prior year. So this is no simple oil-price rally. Exxon needs expensive crude and resilient production to justify an increasingly expensive stock. With the Permian breaking records and cash pouring in, the engine looks formidable. At 31% above GF Value, though, investors are no longer buying that engine cheaply.

We've flagged 1 risk for Chevron. See which could impact your investment. What Chevron's AI power deal with Microsoft changes for the story For investors, the Microsoft partnership fits directly into Chevron's existing narrative of large-scale energy project execution and cash generation from hydrocarbons. It links Chevron's gas and carbon capture capabilities to a long-dated demand source in AI data centers, rather than traditional industrial buyers. That can be read as moving the story forward on two fronts. It reinforces the view that natural gas and associated infrastructure remain central to Chevron's earnings mix, while also connecting the company to digital infrastructure growth that is separate from commodity spot markets. The key question from here is how Chevron reports Project Kilby within future segment results and commentary. Investors can watch upcoming quarterly earnings calls, as well as 2026 and 2027 capital allocation updates, for disclosures on contracted volumes, expected returns and carbon capture metrics linked to this 20-year agreement.

Chevron has exceeded its original synergy target, strengthening the case that Hess can contribute more than additional production. The next test is durability. Investors will be watching whether the acquired assets can keep supporting free cash flow, per-share accretion and Chevron's production-growth objectives through 2030. Chevron Delivers Hess Synergies Ahead of Schedule Chevron achieved $1.5 billion of annual run-rate Hess synergies within one year of closing, six months ahead of schedule. The amount was 50% above its initial target, showing that integration benefits have arrived faster and at a larger scale than first expected.Chevron Corporation Image Source: Chevron Corporation That speed matters because the transaction's value depends on operational execution after closing. ConocoPhillips COP offers a relevant industry comparison, having completed the integration of Marathon Oil and reported more than $1 billion of run-rate synergy capture in 2025. Large upstream deals are increasingly judged on how quickly scale converts into lower costs and better returns. CVX Gains More Than Additional Production The Hess assets are contributing more than barrels. Management said they are generating strong free cash flow that is roughly double the incremental dividends associated with the acquisition. Chevron also said the acquired assets are accretive on a per-share basis. That supports the view that the combination is enhancing financial output rather than merely expanding the company's asset count. Chevron Builds a Larger Production Base Worldwide net oil-equivalent production reached 4.07 million barrels per day in the second quarter of 2026, up 20% year over year. The increase primarily reflected legacy Hess assets alongside growth in the Permian Basin and Gulf of America.Chevron Corporation Image Source: Chevron Corporation A larger production base gives Chevron more volume from which to generate future cash flow when commodity conditions are supportive. U.S. production also reached a record 2.08 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, reinforcing the scale of the enlarged upstream portfolio. CVX Gets Longer-Dated Growth From Guyana Guyana gives Chevron a longer-dated growth engine. Management expects the asset to extend high-margin oil growth into the 2030s, while the company remains confident in its broader target of 2%-3% annual production growth through 2030. Exxon Mobil Corporation XOM, the operator of Guyana's Stabroek Block, holds a 45% interest and has continued advancing offshore developments there. For Chevron, the investment case rests on translating its Hess-derived Guyana exposure and other growth assets into sustained portfolio expansion. Story Continues Chevron Still Faces Integration and Commodity Risks Hess integration can improve Chevron's cost structure and asset mix, but it cannot remove commodity-price exposure. Second-quarter 2026 results benefited from an average Brent price of $104 per barrel, compared with $68 a year earlier. If oil or gas realizations weaken materially, production growth may not fully offset the pressure on earnings and cash flow. Chevron also remains exposed to project execution, geopolitical disruption and the challenge of sustaining expected benefits from the acquisition. CVX Signals Support a Constructive but Measured View Chevron has pulled forward meaningful Hess benefits, expanded production and added longer-duration growth through Guyana. Those factors strengthen the company's operating and cash-flow foundation, but future gains still depend on execution and commodity conditions. CVX currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), along with a Value Score of A, Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of A and VGM Score of A. The A scores indicate favorable characteristics across the major investment styles, while the Hold rank supports a measured stance.

Chevron (NYSE:CVX), the integrated energy heavyweight pumping oil and running refineries around the world, delivered $12.1 billion of second-quarter earnings before its shares jumped roughly 3.3% Monday morning. But this move is about more than one strong quarter. Brent crude was back near $85 per barrel as hopes for a quick reopening of the Strait of Hormuz took another hit, with Iran putting conditions on restoring shipping traffic. That flipped the oil trade fast. Crude had tumbled more than 7% the previous week as investors bet on diplomacy. Now geopolitical risk is back on the screen, and Chevron suddenly has a much stronger oil-price tailwind behind already booming production. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with CVX. Is CVX fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The numbers show just how much firepower Chevron has if crude stays elevated. Production reached roughly 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, including a record 2.08 million barrels from the U.S. Upstream earnings hit $8.2 billion, while downstream profit climbed to $4.9 billion as stronger refining margins kicked in. U.S. refineries processed more than 1 million barrels per day, another record. That is the setup investors want from an integrated oil giant: more barrels, stronger refining economics and higher crude prices hitting at the same time. Add the Hess integration and $6.5 billion returned through dividends and buybacks during the quarter, and Chevron has a serious cash machine working underneath the geopolitical headlines.Chevron Stock Jumps 3.3% as Hormuz Doubts Lift Oil\u00b7us.finance.gurufocus There is one catch: the stock is no bargain. GuruFocus puts Chevron at $192.63 versus a GF Value estimate of $158.06, meaning the shares trade about 21.87% above GF Value. That is a chunky premium, and it raises the bar from here. If oil stays high, record production keeps climbing and Hess delivers the expected boost, Chevron could grow into that valuation. If Hormuz tensions fade and crude rolls over, investors are suddenly holding an expensive oil stock into a weaker commodity tape. Chevron has the production, the cash flow and the oil-price momentum. What it does not have right now is much room for disappointment.

The company recently delivered an impressive quarterly beat, reporting adjusted earnings of $12 billion for the second quarter of 2026. The strong performance was supported by solid operational execution, higher crude oil price realizations, robust refining margins and increased production following the Hess acquisition. Results were further underpinned by stronger cash flow, a resilient upstream portfolio and disciplined shareholder returns. Yet with shares lagging both ExxonMobil XOM and Shell SHEL, and valuation sitting at a premium, the bigger question is whether this momentum can translate into meaningful upside for investors. Strong Production and Cash Generation Support CVX Chevron's second-quarter operating performance was impressive. Worldwide net oil-equivalent production reached 4.07 million barrels per day, up 20% year over year, driven largely by legacy Hess assets and growth in the Permian Basin and Gulf of America. U.S. production reached a record 2.07 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Refining operations were similarly strong, with U.S. crude unit throughput reaching a record 1.07 million barrels per day and utilization exceeding 97%. Higher commodity prices amplified those operating gains. Chevron reported second-quarter earnings of $12.1 billion, or $6.11 per share, while adjusted earnings totaled roughly $12 billion, or $6.06 per share. Cash flow from operations excluding working capital was $19.7 billion, while adjusted free cash flow reached $15.4 billion. That cash generation has provided significant financial flexibility. Chevron reduced debt by a record $8.4 billion during the quarter, while its net debt-to-CFFO ratio improved to 0.6X. At the same time, the company continued returning capital, paying $3.5 billion of dividends and repurchasing $3 billion of shares during the quarter.Chevron Corporation Image Source: Chevron Corporation Hess Integration and Cost Savings Strengthen the Story The Hess acquisition is also showing tangible benefits. One year after closing, Chevron had captured $1.5 billion of annual run-rate synergies \u2014 50% above its initial target and six months ahead of schedule. Management said the acquired assets are generating free cash flow at roughly twice the incremental dividend burden, while Guyana provides exposure to high-margin production growth extending into the 2030s. Cost discipline offers another lever. Chevron achieved $3 billion of annual run-rate structural cost reductions six months early, with more than 70% of the savings stemming from efficiency improvements. Meanwhile, management expects 2026 shale and tight capital spending per barrel of oil equivalent to be 25% below last year, indicating that production growth is becoming more capital efficient. Story Continues Chevron is also broadening its opportunity set beyond conventional oil and gas. Project Kilby in West Texas includes a 20-year take-or-pay agreement to supply Microsoft with 2.67 gigawatts of behind-the-meter power. Management expects the project to generate mid-teens returns and long-duration cash flows that are less correlated with commodity cycles, although the project remains subject to final investment decision and execution. What Could Hold Chevron Back? Commodity exposure remains the biggest swing factor. Chevron estimates that every $1 change in Brent affects full-year after-tax earnings and cash flow by roughly $600 million. Second-quarter Brent averaged nearly $104 per barrel, providing a substantial earnings tailwind that may not persist.Chevron Corporation Image Source: Chevron Corporation Near-term operations also face maintenance headwinds. Chevron expects third-quarter upstream turnarounds and downtime to reduce production by 150,000-200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, while downstream maintenance could reduce after-tax earnings by $175-$225 million.

The bottom line also increased from the year-ago adjusted earnings of 43 cents. The outperformance was supported by strong production, higher oil realizations and continued operating efficiencies. Houston, TX-based oil and gas exploration and production company's revenues of $1.4 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.22 billion by 14.25%. The top line also increased sharply from $898 million in the year-ago quarter. Crescent Energy Company Price, Consensus and EPS SurpriseCrescent Energy Company Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Crescent Energy Company price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Crescent Energy Company Quote The quarter was marked by solid production, lower operating costs and record cash generation. Crescent produced 335 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d), which beat our consensus mark of 331 MBoe/d, while adjusted operating expenses were about 9% below the prior annual guidance midpoint. CRGY's Production Base Remains Strong Total production averaged 335 MBoe/d, up from 263 MBoe/d in the year-ago quarter. Oil production increased to 140 thousand barrels per day (MBbls/d) from 108 MBbls/d. The figure was also above our consensus estimate of 136 MBbls/d. Natural gas production rose to 715 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) from 644 MMcf/d, while NGL production increased to 76 MBbls/d from 48 MBbls/d. Natural gas production was 2.5% below our consensus estimate, while NGL production was 7.6% above our consensus estimate. During the quarter, Crescent drilled 43 gross operated wells and brought 32 gross operated wells online. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, totaled $284 million. Crescent's Permian Momentum Accelerates Crescent continued to make progress in the Permian, where it has moved from the stabilization phase following the acquisition into optimization. Permian production totaled 124 MBoe/d, with oil accounting for 42% of volumes. Capital spending in the basin was $104 million. Crescent drilled nine gross wells and turned 12 gross wells in line during the quarter. Importantly, the company increased its Permian synergy target to $250-$300 million, roughly three times the original target of $90-$100 million. Approximately $190 million of annualized synergies have already been captured. The gains are being driven by lower well and operating costs, improved workover and artificial-lift programs, better field operations and commercial optimization. Management expects a large portion of the updated synergy target to be captured as the company exits 2026 and moves into 2027. Story Continues CRGY's Eagle Ford Operations Stay Efficient The Eagle Ford business produced 169 MBoe/d, with oil representing 39% of volumes. Capital spending totaled $147 million. Crescent drilled 26 gross wells and brought 16 gross wells online during the quarter. Operational efficiencies remain a key driver in the basin. Well costs have declined more than 25% since 2023, while workover and artificial-lift optimization are supporting base production. CRGY is also seeing encouraging results from the Austin Chalk, which could expand its economic drilling inventory. CRGY Sees Further Cost Gains in Uinta CRGY continued to improve drilling and completion efficiency in the Uinta Basin. Year-to-date drilling efficiency increased to roughly 1,600 feet per day from about 1,300 feet in the 2025 program. Completion efficiency increased to approximately 3,000 lateral feet per day from about 1,600 feet. Simulfrac utilization reached 100% of gross wells turned in line, while drilling, completion and facilities costs declined to below $800 per foot from approximately $950 in the 2025 program.

The move would again open domestic oil and fuel shipments to cheaper foreign-flagged vessels, extending an emergency waiver Trump imposed after the Iran war sent crude prices sharply higher in March. The problem is that the first waiver barely moved gasoline prices. Shipping costs account for only a small part of what Americans pay at the pump, leaving Trump with limited room to cut prices through maritime policy as he turns up the pressure on ExxonMobil and Chevron over their soaring profits. At the same time, Trump has stepped up pressure on Big Oil over high gasoline prices, lambasting Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX) for making too much money amid high energy prices and global supply shortages. Trump has directed the Department of Justice to investigate Big Oil for possible price gouging, accusing oil companies of keeping gasoline prices high even as global crude prices have fallen. Related: Iran Says Hormuz Stays Closed Until U.S. Meets Six Sweeping Demands The backlash followed the companies' bumper second quarter results, with Chevron's quarterly earnings surging to $12 billion, up from $2.5 billion the previous year while ExxonMobil's profits more than doubled to $14.5 billion. With Big Oil showing no indication of heeding Trump's threats, extending the Jones Act waiver is another lever to pull, from the perspective of the White House. The initial 60-day exemption, announced in March after oil prices spiked in the first weeks of the Middle East conflict, is set to expire on August 16. By temporarily lifting the law's strict maritime restrictions, the White House has allowed foreign-flagged vessels to transport oil and refined petroleum products between domestic ports. The Jones Act is a federal law that dictates that all cargo transported between U.S. ports must be carried on ships that are built in the U.S, owned by American citizens, and crewed predominantly by U.S. workers. It's been waived a total of 40 times in its 105-year history, with former U.S. president Joe Biden also setting it aside in 2021 following the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack. The primary purpose of the Jones Act is to facilitate a steady pipeline of American-owned and operated commercial vessels available to assist national defense and logistics during wartime or national emergencies. It also guarantees employment for U.S. mariners and shipyard workers by eliminating cheap foreign competition on domestic shipping routes. Interestingly, there are some who are encouraging Trump to do away with the Jones Act altogether. Story Continues In his March Bloomberg Opinion piece, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg argued that the temporary waiver of the Jones Act during the conflict with Iran demonstrated that the 1920 shipping law is an outdated, counterproductive protectionist measure. Bloomberg labeled the law \"one of the most counterproductive protectionist measures of the last century,\" pointing out that its artificial inefficiencies unfairly penalize American consumers--costing typical families in isolated regions like Hawaii roughly $1,800 a year. He noted that the suspension helped restrain fuel prices and support domestic shipments without harming the broader industry, making a case for Congress to permanently repeal or relax the act. However, whereas energy and agricultural sectors support the waiver for helping bypass supply bottlenecks, Trump is facing opposition to the idea of suspending the federal shipping law, including from members of his own party, with maritime industry critics warning it threatens American shipbuilding and domestic seafaring jobs. Back in June, House Speaker Mike Johnson and over 50 Republican lawmakers sent a letter to the president urging him to let the Jones Act waiver expire as per the earlier sc", "date_published": "2026-08-09T23:00:00+00:00", "authors": [{"name": "finance.yahoo.com"}], "tags": ["Market update", "EXXO34", "CHVX34"], "_sharemaestro": {"country": "Brazil", "coverage": "Provider-linked mention", "market_context": null, "companies": [{"symbol": "EXXO34", "name": "Exxon Mobil Corporation", "sentiment_url": "https://sharemaestro.com/sentiment/621ea2a6-964d-4aeb-b073-c1c78a3945e4/"}, {"symbol": "CHVX34", "name": "Chevron Corporation", "sentiment_url": "https://sharemaestro.com/sentiment/96eecce5-c85e-46c4-a5c5-974d820ba5b7/"}]}}, {"id": "source:30902b482c398354a0bc46ffdb59232d38452b75ac7f51fcdab53992e7d33b17", "url": "https://finance.yahoo.com/small-business/articles/charlie-lass-championing-startup-success-121000323.html", "external_url": "https://finance.yahoo.com/small-business/articles/charlie-lass-championing-startup-success-121000323.html", "title": "Charlie Lass: Championing Startup Success and Founder Well-Being", "content_text": "WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / August 9, 2026 / Charlie Lass is a career entrepreneur, educator and author known for his candid, founder-focused approach. An MIT Sloan alum and former lecturer in entrepreneurship, he built multiple tech ventures (with successful exits in both the UK and US) before turning to coaching and content. Today he is founder and CEO of Humble Inc., a digital platform dedicated to helping founders learn from experienced operators, and previously led Dallas Inc., a \"30-day launch\" incubator for early-stage startups. He also co-founded The Comparison Company (an AI-powered services\u2010comparison site), and has advised corporations and government bodies (from BP and Walmart to the UK Foreign Office) on innovation. Charlie Lass has mentored hundreds of founders and authored the no-nonsense guide - You Suck and Your Ideas Are Terrible, building a strong personal brand (with tens of thousands of LinkedIn followers) around startup psychology, leadership and mental health. Clients praise his \"ridiculously helpful advice\" and \"staggering\" depth of knowledge. In interviews and podcasts (e.g. Flippa's The Exit and UNT's Innovate Fort Worth), he consistently urges entrepreneurs to prioritize sustainability over hype and to address burnout and mental health from the start. Entrepreneurial Journey and Exits A Brit by background and Dallas-based today, Charlie Lass has spent over two decades launching businesses across a wide range of industries (AI, blockchain, disaster response, fashion, etc.). He notes, \"I've launched products in 20 different industries, had multiple exits in the US and the UK and built back from a nervous breakdown\". According to public profiles, he has \"managed 3 successful startup and exit cycles\". His most public ventures include ViaPost (a UK postal-tech startup co-founded in 2007 with tech entrepreneur Ben Way), and ControlPoint (an incident-management SaaS at Access Intelligence, a UK enterprise software firm). ViaPost (featured in the Startups.co.uk Top 100 list) was built to radically change the postal market. At Access Intelligence (2010-13) Lass led the development of ControlPoint, an aviation/finance/oil & gas emergency-response system used by clients including the UK Foreign Office. These experiences have made him a \"well-established career entrepreneur with successful exits in the UK & US\". By launch it reportedly had 1,500 expert creators contributing verified content. As Lass explains, Humble is \"making entrepreneurship easily accessible to anyone, anywhere\", focusing on long-term founder well-being rather than clickbait hustle. The platform's resources cover everything from market testing and pitch-decks to mental-health checklists. Story Continues As founder and CEO, Charlie Lass leads Humble's vision. He emphasizes that it's not just a \"guru marketplace\" \"We have scoured the net to find the best resources... so you don't have to,\" he says. The goal is to \"dispense myths around entrepreneurship\" and encourage founders to see failure and self-care as integral to success. Dallas Inc. and Other Ventures Before Humble, Charlie Lass was founder/CEO of Dallas Inc. (launched 2021), a boutique \"venture studio\" and consultancy that promises to take a startup idea to market in 30 days. Branded as an \"accelerator with an automated formula,\" Dallas Inc. works intensively with one client at a time on branding, funding strategy, product development and more. By late 2022 it had helped launch over 30 brands from scratch, supporting each founder through branding, fundraising, board strategy and growth mentoring. The firm has since expanded into Fort Worth (as Fort Worth Inc.) and plans further Texas hubs. A University of North Texas article highlights Lass as CEO of both Dallas.Inc and its Fort Worth sister, noting these programs have mentored \"more than 400 early-stage startups\" with training in \"strategy, stress and validation\".

The takeover also makes the Malta-based group the largest shareholder in one of Germany's main crude oil pipeline networks. The Gelsenkirchen refinery processes roughly 265,000 barrels per day, and supplies fuel for road transport, aviation and shipping, as well as feedstock for the regional chemicals industry. BP expects the sale to reduce its annual operating costs by as much as $1 billion. The British oil major is among several large energy companies reassessing European refining operations as ageing facilities, environmental rules and carbon costs increase expenses. Klesch, controlled by U.S. investor A. Gary Klesch, already owns refineries in Heide, Germany, and Kalundborg, Denmark. The two plants combined process less crude than Gelsenkirchen. Germany's government reviewed the buyer and attached conditions to the transaction amid concerns about fuel supplies. Klesch must continue measures intended to protect energy security and maintain long-term deliveries to customers operating critical infrastructure. Berlin retained the right to monitor the company's operations and revoke its permission to run the facility if the conditions are breached. The sale comes as wars in Ukraine and the Middle East place pressure on European fuel supply chains. Attacks on Russian refineries and lower Russian exports have tightened diesel and jet fuel markets, supporting refining margins across Europe. A fire at Gelsenkirchen in July temporarily shut several units, including one used to produce diesel. Privately owned commodity groups and investment firms have increasingly acquired refineries that listed oil majors no longer regard as attractive. Their lighter public reporting requirements have raised concerns about transparency, financing and long-term investment capacity. Still, the acquisition removes uncertainty surrounding Gelsenkirchen, where a complete closure could have threatened hundreds of companies and tens of thousands of regional jobs.
