Oil Giants Shock Wall Street: How Exxon and Chevron Beat the Crash
Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX) both delivered upside surprises in Q2, fueled by record oil production that helped counter weaker crude prices. Exxon reported its highest second-quarter output since the Mobil merger more than 25 years ago, while Chevron hit an all-time high at nearly 4 million barrels per day. That surgedriven largely by shale growth in the Permian Basinwas enough to outpace Wall Street forecasts: Exxon posted $1.64 in adjusted EPS (vs. $1.56 expected), and Chevron came in at $1.77 (vs. $1.71). Investors responded positively, with Chevron shares gaining as much as 2%, topping the day's S&P 500 energy leaderboard. While Exxon kept buybacks steady at $20 billion a year, CEO Darren Woods made it clear the company isn't done hunting for deals. Just 16 months after acquiring Pioneer for $60 billion, Woods said Exxon is actively evaluating more M&A, calling it a way to deliver on this equation of one plus one equaling more than three. Chevron, meanwhile, just cleared a key hurdle in its $53 billion Hess acquisition, and is shifting toward a more cash-focused strategy. Despite trimming buybacks this quarter, the company reaffirmed its annual repurchase goal of up to $15 billion. Both companies acknowledged the backdrop remains tricky. Oil prices have been volatile amid OPEC+ supply moves and lingering global demand uncertainty. Chevron's CFO flagged the possibility of some price pressure in the second half of the year, while Exxon signaled it's pressing forward in U.S. shale regardless. The broader message? Even in a choppy environment, scale, capital discipline, and strategic optionality are giving Big Oil room to maneuverand potentially, room to grow. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
