Chris Markoch

Score Media and Gaming reports third-quarter fiscal year earnings after the market closes on July  13. Analysts project the company will report negative earnings per share of 27 cents.

Chris Markoch

Chevron stock is up nearly 22% in 2021 but is down 3.85% in the last month. This may be a sign that institutional investors are getting ready to rotate away from CVX stock as an inflation hedge. That's not a good signal for short-term traders. But buy-and-hold investors should look for a buy signal to jump in on the stock.

Analyst ratings are an imperfect science. However, they do reflect the sentiment of individuals who have significant knowledge of a company’s operations. Ratings are done on a scale from 1.00 to 4.00. A score of 4.00 is equivalent to a “strong buy” rating. By contrast a score of 1.00 is equivalent to a “sell” rating.
