CVX

Scary-Ad5384

Well terrific..personally I started a position in CVX at 135.00 …5% dividend and I can wait a while..there are no oil experts 😉

AntoniaFauci

This headline and some of the conjecture is only half true, or at least it’s technically true but about to get rocked. Yes, their current stated positions are to maintain production. But as the well regarded Paul Sankey explains, it’s only a matter of when they capitulate, because they will. Their stated positions are from when oil was at least $60, and $60 is kind of their fulcrum. This week’s drop to $55, and the predicted imminent sub-$50 pricing means major parties will absolutely scale back to avoid losing money. Smart operators like Diamondback already have. Desperate entities like Russia and Iran will not. Canada also has to produce. KSA is sort of in that camp too, as they basically produce whatever amount they need to meet the income expectations of their princes. And their current overproduction is fulfilling a favor to the current administration. Real companies have and will ignore slogans to “drill baby drill” but KSA does so happily. How this plays out then is the majors mentioned above do some painful layoffs across America, especially Texas and Midwest up to North Dakota. And that employment shock hurts sentiment which hurts economy which creates downward oil price. Players like Total have global markets so will be more insulated. I’m slowly accumulating in things like a CVX but under no illusion that it won’t go down before it goes up. I’m counting on them to maintain 6% yield while we wait.

I have found that the big companies move relatively close together and they almost always follow the commodity price. Juniors are another story. If oil goes up $5 next week, all the big boys will be green and their increases will be relatively close to each other. Trending that's valuable for options plays. Long term, I agree that they are vastly different. XOM, SHEL vs BP, CVX Good luck

hide_in-plain_sight

Buy 1000 CVX @ $139 with a dividend of approximately 5%. Sell the $70 call for $70000 and buy more CVX effectively getting a 10% return for 2 years. Not saying it’s the ideal strategy but I can see potential.

Walternotwalter

Maybe he got into XOM or CVX.

Walternotwalter

I think they probably bought more OXY. Oil is in the toilet. I have nibbled. CVX's earnings divvy is gonna be nice. The core Permian companies are going to do well.

RagingBearBull

I think Its time for me to own, AXP, BAC, CO, CVX.

Fit-Boomer

And CVX is up 1.4% today.

SeeLeavesOnTheTrees

So… thoughts on investing in crude oil ETFs and/or XOM, CVX?

YesterdayAmbitious49

$CVX hitting right around 52 week lows after earnings this morning, any taking a nibble?

PulseFinance

Zoom out, CVX gave investors a 52% return over the last 5 years

noplanman_srslynone

I wonder who could be reporting earnings tomorrow... XOM and some sweet CVX, nothing to see here move along

qw1ns

That is very normal issue. I follow the OXY from the days of takeover and WB funding 10Bln onwards. In fact, I missed buying OXY when it was $7 -icahn purchased at such prices. OXY is fundamentally strong company, they hold largest oil lands in texas region (bigger than CVX and XOM). If company share price going down, buy, dca and hold long term. Since this is recessionary period, all sectors are going to get affected and prices will go down, that is our opportunity to buy it. I started buying OXY and will continue add every $5 drop in price, other wise hold it. These are not tradable stocks, but investment stocks (no options). If you want to trade, choose TQQQ or SOXL kind of ETFs (today I bought SOXL at $10.95 and holding still at $11.75, may sell it when it reaches above $12.25). Again no options, but just ETFs. Any way, this is my way and there no one solution fits all.

Big week for me, earnings for almost half the stocks in my portfolio DPZ, WM, V, MSFT, PWR, AMZN, BLDR, CVX Really this week will be all about updated guidance for many of these companies

Stephen_1984

Bearish for the next few months at least: [Opec+ will start increasing oil production from April 2025](https://www.enerdata.net/publications/daily-energy-news/opec-will-start-increasing-oil-production-april-2025.html). More supply means lower prices. [Tariffs hurting the global economy](https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Trumps-Tariffs-Just-Torched-His-Own-Energy-Agenda.html) will reduce demand for oil, lowering prices. Russia and Iran are major oil producers. More sanctions will crimp supply, raising prices. Fewer sanctions will ease supply, lowering prices. [Trump is dovish on Russia. ](https://nypost.com/2025/04/23/us-news/trump-gives-zelensky-dire-warning-on-russia-ukraine-war-accept-peace-or-risk-losing-the-whole-country/) His Iran stance was tough in his first term, [but has been dovish in his second.](https://www.thefp.com/p/trump-obama-iran-deal) Venezuela and Canada are major oil producers as well. Again, sanctions and tariffs. I own shares of Chevron (CVX) and Exxon (XOM) with low cost bases, so I'm just along for the ride.

Mastering the Market: My Journey Through Options Trading Over the past three years, I’ve immersed myself in the world of options trading, learning not just how the market moves, but why it moves. What started as curiosity quickly evolved into a passion for anticipating and capitalizing on news-driven price action. I’ve learned that options trading isn’t just about charts or technicals — it’s about understanding the psychology of the market, the timing of key events, and the art of reacting to them in real time. My approach is rooted in selling calls and puts strategically, often in anticipation of news or earnings. I’ve made significant gains by studying how the market responds to catalysts — from Netflix’s crackdown on password sharing to geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine war. I’ve profited from oil spikes through Chevron (CVX) and rode the explosive growth of tech giants like Nvidia around earnings time. I’ve seen $30 options swell to $3,000, and $50 balloon to $400 in a matter of minutes, especially with zero or two days to expiration. Those moments taught me that timing — not just direction — is everything. I’ve sharpened my strategy over time, using specific setups like the midday retest between 11 AM and 12 PM, and power hour moves before close. I often buy before the market closes and sell at the open, capturing overnight premiums. I’ve also made thousands playing puts timed with Fed Chair Powell’s speeches, showing how a few well-placed words can move billions — and your account — in seconds. Through every trade, every gain, and every loss, I’ve come to understand that options trading is a game of strategy, patience, and reaction. I don’t just chase the news — I wait for the market’s reaction and strike when the timing aligns. It’s more than a skill — it’s a rhythm I’ve learned to read and master.

I don’t know if I right or wrong, but at this point I just keep buying high dividends stocks. My bank pays 3.8 % so I going to PFE, CVX or whatever pays more than 3.8. with this 🥭💩 look like the money is going to be sitting there for 4 years.

Any thoughts on the contrarian move of buying CVX or XOM? I obviously see where the price of oil is, but it’s typically been hard to find dips to buy these, and perhaps the price of oil will eventually recover.

Final Thoughts OXY is a compelling but cyclical investment. Its Permian dominance, OxyChem stability, and CCUS potential are strengths, but revenue inconsistency and commodity exposure pose risks. The 6/10 rating reflects solid fundamentals offset by volatile growth and margins. For a 10-year horizon, investors should monitor oil prices, debt reduction, and CCUS progress. If you prioritize stability, EOG or CVX may offer better consistency; if you’re bullish on oil and CCUS, OXY’s value (P/E 13.94) is attractive.

Ai 1. Market Size Associated with OXY Occidental Petroleum operates primarily in the oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) sector, with additional segments in chemicals (OxyChem) and midstream/marketing. The global oil and gas market size is vast, with estimates for 2024 at approximately $5 trillion for the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments combined, driven by global energy demand. The upstream E&P segment, OXY’s core focus, is roughly $1.5–2 trillion, depending on oil prices and production volumes. The Permian Basin, where OXY has significant operations, is a key contributor to U.S. production, accounting for about 5 million barrels per day (bpd) or roughly 40% of U.S. crude output. For context, the total addressable market (TAM) for OXY includes: Oil and Gas E&P: Global crude oil demand (~100 million bpd) and natural gas markets. Chemicals (OxyChem): Basic chemicals and vinyls, a $300–400 billion market. Carbon Capture (Low-Carbon Ventures): Emerging market, projected to reach $100 billion by 2030. OXY’s TAM is high-growth in the long term due to persistent energy demand and the transition to lower-carbon solutions, but short-term volatility tied to commodity prices impacts revenue predictability. 2. Breakdown of Leaders with Market Share The oil and gas E&P sector is fragmented, with no single company dominating globally due to state-owned enterprises (e.g., Saudi Aramco) and diverse regional players. Among publicly traded companies, market share is often measured by production volume or market capitalization. Here’s a breakdown of key publicly traded leaders in the U.S. E&P space, focusing on the Permian Basin where OXY is a major player: ExxonMobil (XOM): Production: ~3.8 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d) globally, ~600,000 BOE/d in Permian. Market Share: ~10–12% of U.S. E&P production. Market Cap: ~$500 billion. Chevron (CVX): Production: ~3 million BOE/d globally, ~700,000 BOE/d in Permian. Market Share: ~10% of U.S. E&P production. Market Cap: ~$270 billion. Occidental Petroleum (OXY): Production: ~1.33 million BOE/d (2024), ~800,000 BOE/d in Permian. Market Share: ~6–8% of U.S. E&P production. Market Cap: ~$34 billion.

This has come up, thought I would follow up. The goal is to AI/Human COLAB. That's the ticket for doing your research. GPT-4o Why does energy seem to hold up when other market sectors don't? Great question — and very timely. The energy sector often behaves differently from the broader market because it’s tied to a different set of forces. Here’s why energy stocks like those in XLE can hold up — or even rise — when the rest of the market struggles: ⸻ 🔁 1. Energy is driven by commodities, not just equities • While tech or retail stocks depend on consumer spending or interest rates, energy stocks are tethered to oil and gas prices. • Even during stock market volatility, geopolitical risks, supply constraints, or rising global demand can send oil prices up — which boosts energy stocks. ⸻ 💰 2. Inflation Hedge • Energy prices (especially oil) are a major component of inflation. • When inflation rises, central banks hike rates, which often hurts growth stocks — but energy companies profit more because they sell the thing that’s getting more expensive. • This makes energy a defensive play during inflationary periods. ⸻ 🛢️ 3. Geopolitical Tensions • Wars, sanctions, or instability in oil-producing countries (like Russia, Iran, etc.) often drive oil prices higher. • Energy stocks are some of the few that benefit directly from geopolitical crises, making them a safe harbor during global uncertainty. ⸻ 📈 4. Strong Cash Flow + Dividends • Big players like ExxonMobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) generate massive cash flows and pay reliable dividends. • When investors get nervous, they rotate into sectors that offer stability and income, and energy fits that bill. ⸻ ♻️ 5. Underinvestment in Fossil Fuels • Ironically, the global push for green energy has constrained investment in oil and gas production. • This leads to tight supply, which props up oil prices — and by extension, energy stock prices — even if demand isn’t booming. ⸻ 🧠 Example: In 2022, the S&P 500 fell ~19%, but XLE rose nearly 60%, driven by high oil prices from the Ukraine war, inflation, and tight supply. ⸻ Want to see a chart comparing XLE to SPY or QQQ during down markets?

No risk, no reward. You could probably come closer if you just went all in on T, SPG, VZ, CVX, MO … high dividend paying stocks. But, they are individual stock. T-bills are about as safe as cash, hence the lower reward.

ButterPotatoHead

You can think of Berkshire as about 1/3 cash, the rest about 10 stocks primarily AAPL, AXP, BAC, KO and CVX, and insurance businesses, BNSF railroad, an energy production business, and a bunch of manufacturing businesses. It isn't really an index, has little exposure to technology, exposure to only a very small segment of the overall market.

If that is your portfolio, you own too many stocks. No one can follow that many individual stocks. One would be better off in an index fund. For example, there is no need to own XOM, CVX and COP.

You’re being a reflexive contrarian, this fails when the price move is actually the start of a new trend If you want to see how this can go bad, then look for 1) equities/indexes in big bust ups eg 2001, 2008, 2022 or 2) major names that have fallen from grace eg (per chat gpt) all these in the 2010s where you bought the dip and then the dip kept dipping: GE, BHC, SHLDQ, JCPNQ, CMG, DB, CHK, WLL, XOM, CVX, RIOT, LBCC Basically you get screwed if the firm’s prospects arent as good as even the now lower price implies or you get screwed by the overall equity/macro backdrop It’s worth remembering that equities are hella bubbly right now and valuation are super high so youre taking some decent risks there (ESPECIALLY if leveraged)* Primarily - 1) understand why it’s selling off 2) understand a catalyst to make it bounce 3) understand that the market is pricing a downside scenario that may materialise and leave you holding the bag 4) dont do this with leverage *Here’s me evidence that markets are bubbly rn per my blog https://open.substack.com/pub/jbmacro/p/throwing-caution-to-the-wind?r=2tong2&utm_medium=ios

Correct me if I'm wrong please. AI provided this answer: Cheniere Energy (LNG): Cheniere is a major player in the US LNG export market and has had contracts with Chinese companies. They are likely a primary exporter when conditions allow. Other potential exporters: Companies like ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Shell (SHEL) also have LNG export capabilities and could potentially ship to China depending on market conditions and contracts.

doing the same but buy longer dated puts and slightly itm as too lazy to manage . Takes longer to pay for the puts but has been profitable on the right type of stock those that are medium on vega. With warmer weather just do it on SPY or QQQ again looking for easy manage. Use cash account with fidelity as they wont let you sell cc on assigned position with a margin account as its married to the put Was just assigned both NVDA and CVX , NVDa own 140 puts exp 1-2026 cvx own 150 puts exp 7-2025...will now sell both cc's and maybe put spreads

True, it would take a greater reduction in gas tax % to offset. I'm just saying I don't think admin will just let gas go up, though control over the XOM / CVX is limited, and they'll do what they need to to maximize profits given global oil price.

CVX misses on earnings. Stock down 1.5%. 😞 Weak margins pushed its refining business into a loss for the first time since 2020.

Maybe we’re going to see a widening of the gap in the gas price between the North and South of the states.   Tinfoil hat time maybe, but how about.. The North can’t get Canadian heavy crude and it’s not viable to transport WTI or process it at the northern refineries.  Pump prices rise up North, folks there look to EVs. Elon is happy. In the South the barrel price holds against any possible OPEC pressure with a high demand and Odessa drills the pricier unconventional plays.  XOM and CVX are happy.

CVX? really..

CVX? Ah ah, you are delusional

In market times like these, you feel really good when you make a good play in the face of regardation. Several regard stocks blow up yesterday, boost right back up today, but I still made triple digit profit on CVX put premiums at the bottom today. Fuck yeah. Might just eat this banana instead of use it as a prophylactic now.

I am looking at DVN also. One of the "positives" some analysts bring up is that it's so inexpensive right now that a buyout is a strong possibility. I agree that it seems inexpensive now. However its enterprise value right now is about $30B. So there aren't many companies that have the means to acquire them. Consider the list : XOM - bought PXD for $60B 5/24. CVX bought HES for $53B 10/23. COP bought MRO for $22B 5/24. FANG bought Endeavour for $26B 2/24. OXY bought Crown Rock for $12B 12/23. None of these are likely to do another acquisition for some time. Who does that leave? BP, Shell, Total who are all foreign and mostly acquiring "renewable" assets now and unlikely to go big in the US. The only other large enough US company is EOG, and they are averse to acquisitions. So where does that leave DVN? Likely to fend for themselves. Note that they recently did a purchase of Grayson for $5B, and their debt ballooned to $8B. On the plus side, with their huge cash flow, they can pay down debt, buy back shares, and pay a decent dividend, all at the same time. This is probably their best strategy.

We are on the same page. Just to clarify, I sell a lot of calls...they are just covered. It is the naked aspect that crushes people ESPECIALLY if they violate position sizing rules. I have made ALL the mistakes. I was selling puts on stocks that represented 25% of my portfolio when I started this journey. If I was going to sell a naked call, it would only be on a position that represented 5% or less of my portfolio. Of course, as the position moves against you that % increases. Position sizing is the single biggest lesson I have learned. The unexpected happens! I recently sold puts in ELF. As luck would have it, a week later Muddy Waters released a short position statement claiming ELF had accounting issues. Not good! It was nonsense, so it didn't hurt me at all, but I aware that ANY position can ultimately go to zero. Not losing money is the other (they are correlated, obviously). I pass on most trades. I mostly sell puts by design. They are all cash secured, so I earn 4% on that cash PLUS the premium. It is hard not to make double digits with less risk. Second, I only sell puts on securities that are cash flow positive. They must make money. Yes, that rules out some fast growers (TSLA in the early days), but I have a separate portfolio for buy and hold. Next, I don't trade through earnings unless I am doing something stupid like a strangle (rare). These are high probability, but I have been burned numerous times (NKE early in the year when it fell 20% on an earnings miss). Lastly, I try to diversify across sectors. Even if oil is a great value, I am not selling puts against XOM, CVX, and a bunch of other stocks oil plays at the same time. Selling premium on ETFs are even better if I can get the AROI I want. Why not take the extra layer of protection through the diversification they offer? I will close with this...and I am 100% sure about it. I will guess that 95% of the people that post on this thread have never traded through a real bear market. Covid was scary as hell, but it was over in a month (from a market perspective). I am talking about situations like the tech wreck where the market went down 3 years in a row. All of these "I make 10% per month" are going to zero. All of them. You will never hear from them again. I hope that doesn't happen, but it will. I've been in this game forever, and it is always the same. Sorry for being so long winded. I wish you all the best. You sound smart, so I doubt you will have any issues making money.

So you’re cherry picking a timeline on one stock. My point was that their dividends are consistent and increase and there are plenty of stocks like that, many of which would be up in your arbitrary 5 year window. JNJ, ABBV, CVX, plenty more. Of course share price fluctuates, but if the dividends are consistent your cash flow doesn’t fluctuate and over a long horizon you will certainly beat a HYSA. And I’m not sure that you get the tax treatment. You keep saying dividends are a tax liability. Do you think interest income isn’t? Interest in a HYSA is taxed as ordinary income. For a household making $225,000 a year this income is going to fall in the 24% tax bracket so if you are making 4% in a HYSA your after tax net is 3.04%. If you are buying a stock that yields 5% and it’s a qualified dividend then your tax rate in this situation is 15%. So your net is 4.25%. Any dividend over 3.57% would result in a better net take home. And if you are living off the dividends completely and are retired and manage your income under $94,000 a year, then your dividend has no tax. I’m not saying investing in dividend stocks doesn’t carry risk, but I am saying it completely has its place depending on your needs. Being diversified across a number of stable dividend paying companies is a great strategy for cash flow and tax management, especially when you don’t need the principal.

CVX.

Well that wwe held certainly fit with how eager XOM and CVX are for foreign reserves.

*I was looking at BRK with the intent to diversify my portfolio a little bit.* 70% of BRK-B is 5 stocks - AAPL, AXP, BAC, KO, and CVX. So maybe less diverse than you think. And if you look at the top 20 holdings, it's heavy on FIs. So a big question is do you believe FIs (and Apple, and some oil) will outperform the general market?

wildvision

according to this, the top three are: Lockheed Martin (LMT), ExxonMobil (XOM) , Chevron (CVX) . Time will tell

Interestingly I think WEN is presently a solid buy ;) I've seen lots of solid recs on this sub. /u/zephyr4813 and others touting RDDT. Many posts about META when it plummeted in 2022, including by myself. It's my largest individual holding with low 100s cost basis. RKLB I saw referenced here and (virtually) no one you meet IRL will have even heard of it. And the always solid - but obviously boring - advice to DCA the S&P. The market has had an absolutely ridiculous run since March 2009. Some dips but basically nothing but up up up. It's hard to find screaming value now. Political uncertainty with a disrupter coming may not bode well for a Wall St that likes stability. But mostly we're here for entertainment and many of us hold a mild or stronger gambling streak that passively buying index funds doesn't satisfy. Idc if my some of my "picks" lag my S&P holdings - I like the excitement and will keep stock picking. -- I'll put my neck out on a few picks for those curious: GSK, HMC usually finds support in the low 20s and has 3 of the top 15 best selling car models, SG for a growth stock, HII which is a near monopoly and the Pentagon will never be cut, CVX, META I still think will be far higher in 5 years.

I'm in CVX and USOY right now.

Yup, typical WSB shit though. Chevron (CVX) is breaking out of it's consolidation wedge it's been in since 2022 and tards in here are still circle-jerking eachother over TSLA.

I think energy and utility stocks will go up and grow a lot this decade. So oil & gas, solar, wind, nuclear and utilities. So i am buying XLU which capitalizes on all of those. Maybe NLR. And I own NEE, CVX and XOM.
