CVX

HES

Chevron Corp (NYSE:CVX) is considering selling its East Texas assets, which include approximately 70,000 net acres in the Haynesville shale formation. Development of these assets was halted earlier this year. The company is exploring various options, including a sale or a partnership with regional producers. This move is part of Chevron's strategy to offload assets worth up to $15 billion over the next five years following its recent acquisitions, including Hess Corp (NYSE:HES) for $53 billion and PDC Energy for $7.6 billion. These acquisitions added 500,000 barrels of oil and gas per day to Chevron's U.S. shale portfolio. Chevron's Q3 FY23 results showed total revenues of $54.1 billion, surpassing expectations, but an adjusted EPS of $3.05, which missed the consensus. CVX shares are down 0.21% in premarket trading.

DIS

Activist investor ValueAct Capital has been accumulating a significant stake in The Walt Disney Company (DIS) since the summer, during the Hollywood strikes. ValueAct, known for its corporate governance focus, is in dialogue with Disney's management and considers Disney's theme parks and consumer products businesses to be worth low $80s per share on their own. ValueAct's involvement has historically led to increased profitability and stock prices in other companies. Disney's current market value is $167 billion, and the company has announced an aggressive cost-cutting plan. ValueAct's history of board involvement and strategic initiatives in other companies suggests potential for a similar impact at Disney, especially with the ongoing proxy fight with Nelson Peltz and Trian Partners.
