BP p.l.c. (BP) vs. Shell plc (SHEL): Two Oil Majors Cash In on the Iran War, But Tell Different Stories

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.

This 3 Stock Portfolio Pays Monthly Dividends

While most stocks pay quarterly dividends, investors can still construct a portfolio that allows them to get paid monthly. The first stock pays dividends in January, April, July, and October. The second stock pays out in February, May, August, and November. And finally, the third stock will pay its dividend in March, June, September, and December. So, investors can reap steady monthly paydays with just a little positioning. A combination of Coca-Cola KO, Caterpillar CAT, and Exxon Mobil XOM – shares would provide precisely the blend needed for this portfolio. Caterpillar Powers Data Centers Ca

ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (XOM) vs. Chevron Corporation (CVX): Trump Attacks the Oil Giants for Making “Too Much Money”

On August 3, 2026, President Trump accused ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) of making "too much money" off high fuel prices just three days after both companies reported blowout second-quarter earnings fueled by the ongoing Iran war. Trump told reporters, "Chevron, too much money. ExxonMobil, too much. Too much money," demanding the companies "give some of that back to the public."

Exxon’s (XOM) Profit Missed. So Why Is The Dividend Getting Stronger?

ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) reported second-quarter 2026 results on July 31, and the headline number disappointed. Adjusted earnings came in at $3.52 per share, short of the $3.60 analysts expected, even though that figure was up sharply from a year earlier. Reported earnings were $14.5 billion, or $3.48 per share. But the company also generated $23.6 billion in cash from operations and $17.2 billion in free cash flow, enough to fund $9.4 billion in shareholder distributions with room to spare.

Better Buy for Passive Income: Chevron vs. ExxonMobil

It has been a good 2026 so far for many oil companies, with the conflict in the Middle East driving prices higher and lining the pockets of major companies. Big oil companies have traditionally been considered reliable dividend payers, but with the wave of extra cash that they've seen coming in this year, you can bet they'll get more shareholder-friendly. Chevron (NYSE: CVX) and ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), the two largest American oil companies, have long been the standard for big oil dividend payers.

The Market Now Says a Rate HIKE Is Coming. There’s a Dividend Fund Literally Built for This

FDRR's top three holdings are NVIDIA, Apple, and Alphabet, which together exceed 22% of the portfolio, fueling an 86% five-year return but adding significant growth-stock concentration risk. Directing new contributions to FDRR while leaving existing SCHD lots intact captures the rate hedge without crystallizing embedded capital gains in taxable accounts.

Oil prices hold steady after jumping 5%, while Asian shares are mixed

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares were mixed in Asia, while oil prices were holding steady Tuesday after jumping the day before as uncertainty persisted over when the Strait of Hormuz could reopen and get the global flow of crude going again.

It swung between $72 and $102 last month as hopes rose and fell that the United States and Iran could reach an agreement that would allow oil tankers to freely exit the Middle East again to deliver crude

Why Trump’s Waiver of the Jones Act Is Unlikely To Lower Gas Prices

U.S. President Donald Trump is weighing another suspension of the Jones Act as gasoline prices above $4 a gallon threaten to become a liability for Republicans heading into the midterm elections. 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 mar
