What are Wall Street analysts saying about Chevron stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Chevron stock:
- 1. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "We reiterate our OW rating and raise our PT to $150." (3/6/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Chevron's financial results greatly improved over the past few quarters, aided by surging production and higher realizations. The company’s existing oil and gas development project pipeline is among the best in the industry, targeting volume growth of around 7% in 2018 thanks to planned expansion in the Permian Basin. The oil supermajor pumped 80% more out of the West Texas shale play in the third quarter compared with the same period last year, with production set to soar in coming years. Chevron recently announced first oil from the Big Foot project in the GoM, which should offer further production upside in the near-term. However, there are worries over drop in its downstream earnings due to weak international margins that once again cut into overall gains from rising E&P income. Hence, investors are advised to wait for a better entry point before buying shares in Chevron." (1/29/2019)
