Chevron remains a dominant player in the traditional fossil fuel industry, essential for meeting global energy demand. Its integrated business model provides diversification that helps mitigate the inherent volatility of the energy sector. In response to the evolving energy landscape, Chevron is also strategically investing in lower-carbon initiatives, with aspirations for net-zero emissions by 2050 and plans to spend $10 billion through 2028 on renewable fuels, hydrogen, carbon capture, and lithium extraction. The acquisition of Renewable Energy Group (REG) in June 2022 made Chevron a major producer of biofuels in the U.S. A key development for Chevron’s future relevance is its acquisition of Hess Corporation (expected to close in 2025), which is anticipated to significantly enhance its resource base and extend its production and free cash flow growth into the 2030s, particularly through access to Guyana’s vast oil production potential. This move solidifies its position amidst competitors like ExxonMobil, with both companies controlling over 20% of the global oil and gas integrated operations market. Chevron is a focus for investors today for several compelling reasons: its financial strength and robust dividends (a 38-year streak of annual dividend increases), its integrated business model that mitigates risk, strategic growth through acquisitions like Hess Corporation, a positive outlook on natural gas demand, and an attractive valuation. The company's ability to maintain profitability even during periods of lower oil prices, with a breakeven level at around $30 per barrel, further enhances its appeal.
