Chevron Corporation reported unaudited second-quarter 2026 earnings of $12.1 billion, or $6.11 per diluted share, on total revenues and other income of $70.1 billion. Adjusted earnings were $12.0 billion, or $6.06 per diluted share, and return on capital employed was 21.4 percent.
Cash flow from operations was $22.6 billion, supporting free cash flow of $18.1 billion after $4.5 billion of capital expenditures, and enabled a record $8.4 billion reduction in total debt, lowering the net debt ratio to 13.1 percent. Net oil-equivalent production rose to 4,070 MBOED, about 20 percent above a year earlier, driven by legacy Hess assets and growth in the Permian Basin and Gulf of America. U.S. refineries achieved record crude unit inputs of 1.07 million barrels per day with utilization above 97 percent. Chevron reported achieving $3 billion in annual run-rate structural cost reductions and $1.5 billion in Hess-related annual run-rate synergies. The company also signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft for 2.67 gigawatts of behind-the-meter power in West Texas, and the board declared a quarterly dividend of $1.78 per share, payable September 10, 2026 to shareholders of record on August 19, 2026.
Chevron Corporation reported results from its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 27, 2026. All 12 nominees to the Board of Directors were elected for one-year terms, with support generally above 94% of votes cast in favor for each director.
Stockholders approved ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for 2026, with 1,634,506,920 votes for and 63,632,611 against, representing 96.25% support. On an advisory basis, 1,370,288,108 votes, or 97.0%, supported compensation of the company’s named executive officers.
Several stockholder proposals did not pass. An independent chair proposal received 203,629,621 votes for and 1,202,445,396 against, a 14.5% support level. Proposals to publish a report on indigenous peoples’ rights and to commission a third-party report on human rights processes received 9.0% and 8.9% support, respectively.
Chevron Corporation reported that R. Hewitt Pate has informed the Board of Directors of his decision to resign as Chief Legal Officer. His resignation will be effective December 31, 2026, tied to his planned retirement in June 2027.
Pate will remain with Chevron as a non-executive senior advisor until his retirement. This extended advisory role is intended to support an orderly transition of his responsibilities and provide continuity for Chevron’s legal function during the change in leadership.
Chevron Corporation reported unaudited first quarter 2026 earnings of $2.2 billion, or $1.11 per diluted share, down from $3.5 billion, or $2.00 per diluted share, a year earlier. Results included a $360 million net loss related to a legal reserve and were reduced by $223 million of foreign currency effects.
Adjusted earnings were $2.8 billion, or $1.41 per diluted share, versus $3.8 billion, or $2.18, in first quarter 2025. Revenue rose modestly to $48.6 billion from $47.6 billion. Companywide net oil-equivalent production increased to 3.86 million barrels of oil-equivalent per day, driven largely by the Hess acquisition and growth in the Gulf of America and Permian Basin.
Chevron generated $2.5 billion of cash flow from operations and spent $4.1 billion on capital expenditures. Free cash flow was negative, but adjusted free cash flow reached $4.1 billion, helped by a $979 million loan repayment from Tengizchevroil. The company returned $6.0 billion to shareholders through $3.5 billion in dividends and $2.6 billion of share repurchases, and reported a 4.5% return on capital employed.
Chevron Corporation is updating its outlook for first-quarter 2026 results, highlighting how recent commodity price volatility and operational factors are affecting earnings and cash flow. The company expects negative timing effects of about $2.7–$3.7 billion, mainly in its Downstream segment, as derivative marks and LIFO accounting pull forward losses that are anticipated to unwind later.
Working capital is forecast to be a net cash outflow of about $2–$4 billion, reflecting typical first-quarter patterns and higher commodity prices. In contrast, Upstream earnings are expected to benefit from stronger prices by $1.6–$2.2 billion versus fourth quarter 2025, with production of roughly 3.8–3.9 MMBOED, impacted by downtime at Tengizchevroil and reduced output in parts of the Middle East.
Chevron also anticipates a Downstream legal charge of about $350–$400 million for a litigation reserve tied to ceased operations, which will weigh on cash flow from operations excluding working capital. Weighted-average shares outstanding were about 1.98 billion, as share repurchases were largely offset by employee stock option exercises that generated roughly $1 billion of financing cash inflows. All figures are preliminary, unaudited estimates subject to change when full results are released on or around May 1, 2026.
Chevron Corporation’s Board of Directors approved amended and restated By-Laws effective March 25, 2026. The changes shift annual election of the Chairman and, when applicable, the Lead Director to the non-employee directors, who also may elect a Vice Chairman.
The revisions follow Chevron’s acquisition of Hess Corporation and the addition of John Hess to the Board as a non-employee director who is not an NYSE-defined independent director due to certain acquisition-related transactions that are not material to Chevron or Mr. Hess. The Board revised its governance to use “non-employee” director language so Mr. Hess can fully participate in Board activities while maintaining compliance with NYSE requirements.
Chevron Corporation detailed 2026 compensation decisions for its top executives. The independent directors approved a $75,000 increase to CEO Michael K. Wirth’s annual base salary, bringing it to $1,975,000, effective March 1, 2026.
They also ratified base salary increases for other Named Executive Officers: Eimear P. Bonner to $1,100,000, Mark A. Nelson to $1,350,000, and R. Hewitt Pate to $1,250,000. Target bonus percentages under the Chevron Incentive Plan for 2026 remain unchanged for all four executives.
For long-term incentives, the independent directors set 2026 equity award grant values under the 2022 LTIP of $23,000,000 for Mr. Wirth, $5,094,000 for Ms. Bonner, $8,533,800 for Mr. Nelson, and $7,641,000 for Mr. Pate, split evenly between performance shares and restricted stock units, with grants based on Chevron’s closing stock price on February 1, 2026.
Chevron Corporation filed a current report to share its latest quarterly results. The company issued a news release announcing unaudited fourth quarter 2025 earnings of $2.8 billion. The news release is included as Exhibit 99.1 and is treated as information furnished rather than filed under securities laws.
Chevron Corporation reported that its board of directors appointed Thomas W. Horton as a director, effective January 27, 2026. He also joined the board’s Audit Committee on that date.
Horton is a partner at Global Infrastructure Partners and previously held senior leadership roles at American Airlines, AMR Corporation, and AT&T. He has served on the boards of Walmart Inc. since 2014 and General Electric Company (operating as GE Aerospace) since 2018.
Chevron’s board approved a prorated grant to Horton under the Chevron Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan. The number of restricted stock units will be based on a $235,000 annual award, prorated for the remaining days in the current Annual Compensation Cycle and divided by the closing Chevron common stock price on the effective date. He will also receive a prorated portion of the standard $155,000 annual cash retainer for non-employee directors.
Chevron Corporation describes several related transactions with director John B. Hess tied to its acquisition of Hess Corporation. Hess Corp. agreed to sell to Mr. Hess a 100% membership interest in Hess Toy Truck LLC, which holds the Hess toy truck business, for $40,000 effective April 1, 2026, and a 100% membership interest in HLOGO LLC, which owns the “Hess” trademarks and related rights, for $863,000 effective December 17, 2025.
Before these sales, Hess Corp. moved digital assets such as the www.hess.com domain and other “Hess” accounts into HLOGO. HLOGO granted Chevron U.S.A. Inc. an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use the Hess trademarks in the oil and gas business and a three-year, automatically renewing license to use the electronic assets. The filing also notes Hess Corp. paid a vendor $484,985 for IT transition services to separate the Hess family office from Hess Corp., including $107,899.78 for services billed after Mr. Hess joined Chevron’s board.
Chevron Corporation, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (CUSA), has issued Floating Rate Notes due December 9, 2075 in an aggregate principal amount of $154,204,000. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Chevron Corporation on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis and rank equally with its other unsecured, unsubordinated debt, while remaining structurally subordinated to CUSA’s own indebtedness.
The notes pay interest quarterly on March 9, June 9, September 9 and December 9 of each year, starting March 9, 2026, at a floating rate equal to Compounded SOFR minus 45 basis points, as described in the final prospectus supplement. The issuance was made under an existing indenture and a fifth supplemental indenture, pursuant to an underwriting agreement with a syndicate of major investment banks.
Chevron Corporation updated its corporate governance by approving amended and restated By-Laws effective December 3, 2025. The changes simplify Article II on officers so the company now formally requires only a Chief Executive Officer and a Secretary, while allowing the Board to create and define additional officer roles and titles by resolution. Detailed references to specific officer positions, including various vice presidents, financial, legal, tax, and treasury roles, were deleted, and related sections were renumbered.
On the same date, the Board approved an updated list of executive officers. Robert C. Neff, Jr. was named President, Upstream, and Andrew B. Walz was named President, Downstream, Midstream and Chemicals as new executive officer appointments. Other officers’ titles were modernized, including roles such as Chief Technology and Engineering Officer and President, New Energies.
Chevron announced a planned controller transition. Alana K. Knowles elected to resign as Controller effective February 28, 2026, ahead of her expected retirement in April 2026. The Board elected Amit R. Ghai as Controller effective March 1, 2026, and he will serve as the company’s principal accounting officer.
Ghai has served with Chevron since 2004, most recently as Assistant Controller since October 2020, following leadership roles in Downstream & Chemicals and Finance, Supply and Trading.
Chevron Corporation (CVX) furnished Q3 2025 results. The company announced unaudited third quarter 2025 earnings of $3.5 billion, disclosed via an Item 2.02 current report. The related news release is included as Exhibit 99.1 and dated October 31, 2025.
The information was furnished, not filed, under the Exchange Act, which means it is provided for investor reference without being incorporated into Securities Act filings. Common stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol CVX.
Chevron Corporation disclosed preliminary estimates of how its July 1, 2025 acquisition of Hess Corporation may affect third-quarter 2025 results. The company expects Hess-related items to reduce GAAP earnings by approximately $(200) million to $(400) million for the quarter. When excluding severance and other transaction-related costs, Chevron estimates Hess-related impacts to adjusted earnings will be a positive $50 million to $150 million in third-quarter 2025. The filing presents these figures as current estimates and identifies additional detail in an accompanying table.
Chevron Corporation issued an aggregate of $5.5 billion of notes through its indirect subsidiary Chevron U.S.A. Inc., across seven series with maturities from 2027 to 2035. The offerings include fixed-rate notes bearing coupons of 3.950%, 4.050%, 4.300%, 4.500% and 4.850%, and two floating-rate series tied to Compounded SOFR plus 57 bps and 82 bps, respectively.
The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Chevron Corporation and rank equally with other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness; existing and future Chevron corporate debt will be structurally subordinated to indebtedness of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. Fixed-rate notes are callable as described in the prospectus supplement, while the floating-rate series are not redeemable prior to maturity.
Chevron Corporation (CVX) filed a Form 8-K on 1 Aug 2025 under Item 2.02 to furnish preliminary second-quarter 2025 results.
