Chevron: It's Tough To Deal With Extreme Volatility by Fun Trading

@leo.syndication:

Summary

• Third-quarter revenues and other income were $36.12 billion, down 17.9% compared to a year ago and down 7% sequentially. Chevron posted third-quarter earnings of $2.58 billion or $1.36 per diluted.
• Chevron had excellent results in the upstream segment in the third quarter with a production of 3,033K Boep/d, up 2.6% from a year ago and down 1.7% sequentially.
• I recommend CVX as a long-term investment. However, the oil market is very volatile and unpredictable. Thus, I recommend trading the short term with about 30% of your position.

Investment Thesis

Chevron Corp. (CVX) is one of the six preferred oil supermajors fully tailored to be part of your long-term holdings of top oil dividend stocks.

Oil supermajors present what most investors and traders need: Cyclicality, volatility, and resilience - All-In-One package with high dividends.

The only problem for a savvy investor is to adopt the right trading/investing strategy that can reward you the most profit.

Chevron belongs in my list of first-class oil majors like Exxon Mobil (XOM), BP plc (BP), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) (RDS.B), Total S.A. (TOT) and Equinor (EQNR).

I have recently added ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) in the list, which is not an oil supermajor since it spun off Phillips 66 (PSX). Still, I consider as equal when it comes to solidity and diversity. I have indicated in the chart below the market capitalization as of 11/09/2019 and the dividend yield of the seven companies mentioned above:

I have covered regularly these companies, and you can always read my other free articles as they are published by clicking here.

The investment thesis is quite simple with CVX. I recommend CVX as a long-term investment. However, as you know, the oil market is very volatile and unpredictable.

Quick Presentation

Chevron is present in various countries and continents. As an "integrated oil," it is engaged in many aspects of the oil and gas business, from oil and gas exploration, distribution, chemicals, and refining to even power generation.

One distinct characteristic that describes the company is a growing presence in the USA and, more specifically, in the Permian Basin.

Chevron is one of the leading producers in the Permian Basin, just behind Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY).
