CVX

HES

Chevron Corp (CVX) reported Q3 FY23 total revenues of $54.1 billion, beating consensus but with sales falling to $51.9 billion from $63.5 billion a year ago due to lower commodity prices. Adjusted net earnings were $5.72 billion, missing the consensus. Lower upstream realizations and decreased margins on refined product sales negatively impacted earnings. The company declared a quarterly dividend per share of $1.51. CVX repurchased shares of $3.4 billion and paid dividends of $2.9 billion. CVX also recently acquired Hess Corp (HES) for $53 billion.
