Meridian Hedged Equity Fund ArrowMark Colorado Holdings LLC | “Chevron Corp. is a leading integrated global energy company engaged in upstream exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, as well as downstream refining, marketing, and chemical manufacturing. The company operates extensively across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, maintaining over 11 billion barrels of oil-equivalent proved reserves and a daily production capacity of approximately 3 million barrels. Stock performance in the second quarter was pressured by high capital requirements for large-scale M&A activity and operational challenges in executing major projects, which weighed on the company's return on average capital employed (ROACE). Despite the stock price trending downward from a peak near $220 in early April to approximately $170 by the end of June, the business saw a recovery in its core profit engines as production at major assets like TCO and Leviathan returned to full rates. Performance was further supported by strong downstream capture on surging refining cracks and the integration of Hess, though these gains were partially offset by a reduction in commodity price benefits compared to previous periods.” | BEAR | Q2 2026 Sep 2, 2026 | View Pitch |
The Gabelli Equity Income Fund Mario J. Gabelli, Kevin V. Dreyer, Christopher J. Marangi | “Chevron Corp. (2.4%) (CVX – $165.76 – NYSE), based in Houston, Texas, is a global integrated energy company with upstream positions in the Permian Basin, Guyana, Kazakhstan, the Gulf of America, the Eastern Mediterranean, and Australia, alongside refining, chemicals, and emerging new energies businesses. Having completed its major capital investment cycle, including the TCO Future Growth Project (in Kazakhstan), Permian production plateau of 1.0 million barrels per day, Gulf of America deepwater startups, and the $53 billion acquisition of Hess Corp. (which added a 30% working interest in the Guyana Stabroek Block and its 11 billion barrels of discovered recoverable resource), Chevron now enters a period of declining capital intensity and accelerating cash generation. The Company projects adjusted free cash flow to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 10% from approximately $20 billion in 2025 to approximately $30 billion by 2030 at $70 Brent. Chevron returns most of this free cash flow to shareholders via $10–$20 billion in annual buybacks and a consistently growing dividend.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Aug 14, 2026 | View Pitch |

The Gabelli Equity Income Fund Mario J. Gabelli, Kevin V. Dreyer, Christopher J. Marangi | “Chevron Corp. (2.5% of net assets as of December 31, 2025) (CVX – $152.41 – NYSE), based in Houston, Texas, is an integrated energy company with operations in over 100 countries. The company operates in oil and gas exploration and production, oil and gas refining and marketing, power, and chemicals manufacturing. With the completion of major projects in the Gulf of America and Kazakhstan, the ramp up of Permian production to its steady state target of 1.0 million barrels per day, and structural cost savings initiatives, Chevron is on the cusp of a free cash flow inflection. The acquisition of Hess Corp. (and its 30% interest in the Stabroek block in Guyana) in July 2025 enhances Chevron's growth prospects and further bolsters free cash outlook. Between 2025 and 2030, we project the company can grow free cash flow greater than 10% per year to reach $30 billion. The company's capital allocation priorities include growing its dividend, paying down debt, and repurchasing shares. BSD Analysis: Chevron is energy exposure with balance-sheet discipline. Its integrated model smooths commodity volatility better than pure upstream peers. Capital allocation favors returns over production growth theatrics. LNG and Permian assets provide long-term relevance. Energy transition narratives haven't erased oil demand reality. The dividend anchors investor expectations. This is not a green energy pivot story. It's a cash-flow machine tied to global demand. Chevron works when discipline outlasts price swings.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
