Company snapshot

Chevron operates through upstream and downstream segments, providing crude oil, natural gas, refined petroleum products, lubricants, petrochemicals, and renewable fuels.

The company generates revenue primarily from the exploration, production, and sale of hydrocarbons, as well as refining and marketing petroleum products globally.

Chevron serves customers worldwide, including industrial, commercial, and retail clients in the energy and chemicals markets.

Chevron is one of the world's leading integrated energy companies, with a global footprint and a diversified portfolio spanning oil, natural gas, and chemical operations. The company continues to invest in both traditional and renewable energy sources to support long-term growth.

Foolish take

Chevron was a relatively large holding for Keystone Financial Planning in the second quarter. At the end of June, it made up 1.1% position. More than tripling an already large stake suggests the Cleveland headquartered asset manager expects rising energy prices in the year ahead.

Keystone Financial Planning isn't a huge energy investor but Chevron isn't the only integrated oil major in its portfolio. The fund finished September with about $5.5 million worth of Exxon Mobil stock in its portfolio. The Exxon position was worth 1.6% of the portfolio.

Chevron will report third quarter results on Oct. 31, 2025. Investors will be looking for signs the recent Hess merger is going to be a successful one. In July, Hess shareholders received 1.025 shares of Chevron for every Hess share they held. The deal is expected to be accretive to cash flow on a per share basis this year, provided the new company can start-up a fourth floating facility in Guyana.
