☆ Chevron beats earnings estimates but profit falls on lower refining margins and natural gas prices
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-26 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Revenue of $48.72 billion fell from $50.79 billion a year ago and was short of analyst expectations. The company attributed declining profits to lower sales margins at its refineries and lower natural gas prices eating into profits in international production. Natural gas prices have plummeted 35% this year due to a supply glut. International oil and gas earnings fell 6% to $3.2 billion as production fell by 39,000 barrels to 1.77 million bpd due to maintenance in Nigeria and field declines. The higher spending was on its oil and gas production and old assets from PDC Energy after completing its acquisition of the company last August.

When asked directly, Woods told the CERAWeek by S&P Global energy conference that acquiring Hess is not one of Exxon's objectives in the dispute with Chevron. HOUSTON — Exxon is not trying to acquire Hess as the oil major battles with Chevron over lucrative oil assets in Guyana, CEO Darren Woods said Monday. Exxon is claiming a right of first refusal over Hess' Guyana assets under a joint operating agreement that governs the Stabroek oil block, which is estimated to have 11 billion barrels of oil and gas. Woods said Exxon is also trying to find out how much value Chevron's deal is placing on Hess' Guyana assets. Exxon wrote the joint operating agreement that governs the Stabroek block, Woods said.

Hess Corp shares fell Tuesday after Chevron warned investors that a dispute with Exxon Mobil and China's National Offshore Oil Corp. (Cnooc) over Guyana's offshore oil assets could jeopardize its bid to acquire the company. Chevron said Exxon and Cnooc's claims could delay or completely derail its acquisition of Hess. Chevron said in the filing that it does not believe the joint operating agreement applies to its acquisition of Hess. Neal Dingmann, an analyst at Truist, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday that it is unlikely Exxon and Cnooc will scoop up Hess' Guyana assets. The dispute with Exxon and Cnooc is the latest hurdle that Chevron's bid to acquire Hess faces.

The narrow stock market rally could broaden out beyond megacap tech, and investors should target the "Magnificent 80" stocks, according to Bank of America's Savita Subramanian. Both are key reasons Subramanian sees the market rally broadening, alongside an expected spike in volatility tied to the U.S. election and Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. To play the expected widening market rally, Subramanian points toward the so-called "Magnificent 80" stocks, which are composed largely of companies with strong fundamentals. These names, which Bank of America screened for, have higher equity income potential than cash, touting competitive dividend yields. Here are a few of those Magnificent 80 companies that are rated buy by Bank of America.

It did so even as its profit fell about 40% to $21.3 billion from $35.5 billion in 2022. Chevron said its board approved an 8% increase in the quarterly dividend to $1.63 beginning in March. The segment sagged as U.S. refining profits fell due to lower margins on product sales.

REUTERS/Issac Urrutia/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsHOUSTON, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Venezuela's oil exports remained almost unchanged in November at 651,000 barrels per day (bpd) even as an easing of U.S. sanctions is now allowing sales to trading houses, according to shipping and tanker tracking data. Washington in October temporarily lifted oil sanctions on the country as a way to encourage a presidential election in 2024, which prompted spot sales of Venezuelan crude and fuel oil to traders mostly bound for China. The stagnant production has driven PDVSA to offer trading houses and intermediaries a large portion of its oil stocks for exports. Besides seeking spot cash oil sales, PDVSA also has ramped up fuel imports since October.

The IEA produced some sobering numbers in its report, The Oil and Gas Industry in Net Zero Transitions. While the IEA said more than $3 billion was invested in CCUS projects in 2022, only 5% of the ventures have reached final investment decisions, representing only 10 million metric tons of carbon capture and 20 million of storage. There is little doubt that the oil and gas industry will learn from experience and get better at doing CCUS.

Cramer's Charitable Trust, the portfolio used by the CNBC Investing Club, owns Palo Alto shares. While Chevron and its energy peers benefited from higher oil prices last year, Cramer said the falling oil prices are a direct consequence of a slowing economy.

☆ Chevron takeover of Hess resurrects multi-billion dollar tax shield

“The tax benefits were definitely factored into how Chevron valued Hess,” said Donald Williamson, an accounting professor at American University’s Kogod School of Business. “When you combine the companies, we have the greater U.S. income, and we can use those net operating losses,” he said. The bottom line effect, when that loss limit is multiplied by the U.S. federal tax rate of 21%, is extra cash flow that could top $400 million a year. “There’s a strong and appropriate case to increase the corporate income tax rate.”Last year, corporate tax revenue totaled a record $425 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Over the past decade, Chevron's current U.S. federal tax expense has averaged $40 million a year.

According to the data published by it and investors, giant U.S. investors BlackRock (BLK.N), Vanguard, State Street (STT.N) and JPMorgan (JPM.N) all voted against the Follow This resolutions this year. "Investors hold the key to tackling the climate crisis with their shareholder voting power at Big Oil. Amundi, Allianz, and UBS use their voting power to mitigate the climate crisis,” said Follow This founder Mark van Baal. This mirrors big shareholder proxy voting firm Glass Lewis and ISS, which changed some of their recommendations for this year to the detriment of Follow This, including withdrawing support for the activist resolution at Chevron.

New drilling technologies during the so-called Bakken Boom turned North Dakota into the nation's second-largest crude oil-producing state from 2012 to 2020. "This sale is a big deal in North Dakota," said Ron Ness, head of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, an industry trade group. "There's a sentimentality to this sale," said Kathy Neset, who runs a prominent North Dakota oil industry consulting firm and counts Hess as one of her largest clients. Chevron could take Bakken production higher than the output targeted by Hess in the future, said Matthew Bernstein, a senior analyst at Rystad Energy. Bakken oil production could drop to 1.15 million bpd from 2026 and be flat through 2030, before entering gradual decline as inventory exhaustion sets in, said Nathan Nemeth, a principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie.
