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." 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:

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. The miss made headlines. The cash didn't miss anything.Exxon's (XOM) Profit Missed. So Why Is The Dividend

Exxon Stock Jumps 3.3% as Oil Supply Fears Return
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. 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.

Can Chevron's Hess Synergies Extend Growth and Lift Cash Flow Further?
Chevron Corporation CVX reaches the one-year anniversary of its Hess acquisition with integration benefits running ahead of plan.

CVX's Q2 Earnings Beat: Can Strong Momentum Drive the Stock Higher?
Chevron Corporation CVX has entered the second half of 2026 with considerable operating momentum. 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 S

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

How the page works
How to read the score
It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean a balanced tape or that direction has been withheld for insufficient evidence; the status label distinguishes them.
Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
The page describes completed evidence available at the stated time. It is research context, not a forecast, recommendation, target or execution instruction.
