Chevron - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Chevron Stock? CVX Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Thursday, December 12, 2024. Please send any questions or comments about these Chevron pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Chevron
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Chevron:

Chevron has received multiple upgrades from analysts, with a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" and an average target price of $177.13, indicating strong potential for price appreciation.
The company recently reported earnings of $2.51 per share, exceeding analysts' expectations, which reflects strong operational performance and profitability.
Chevron's current stock price is $156.21, which is below its 52-week high of $167.11, suggesting potential for growth as it approaches previous highs.
The company has a solid dividend yield of 4.17%, providing investors with a reliable income stream, which is particularly attractive in a low-interest-rate environment.
Chevron maintains a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13, indicating strong financial health and lower risk, which can be appealing to conservative investors.

Chevron
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Chevron for these reasons:

The company's revenue decreased by 6.3% year-over-year, which may indicate challenges in maintaining growth and could affect future earnings.
Chevron's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 17.25, while reasonable, may suggest that the stock is fully valued, limiting upside potential compared to other investment opportunities.
Analysts have set varying price targets, with some as low as $163.00, indicating uncertainty in the stock's future performance.
The company has a relatively high payout ratio of 71.65%, which could limit its ability to reinvest in growth opportunities or weather economic downturns.
Chevron's stock is subject to volatility, as indicated by its beta of 1.10, meaning it may experience larger price swings compared to the overall market, which could be a concern for risk-averse investors.

Why I'm telling friends to avoid gold stocks (Ad)

Back in November, gold made a tiny move of 1.6%. But according to my backtesting by using a special type of gold trade, I would have seen a 141% gain in just a week. It happened again in March. Gold nudged up 1.2%. This time? A 104% overnight gain. And in June? A 1% gold move turned into a 74% gain in two weeks. Granted, there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but you see, there's a reason I'm telling all my friends to hold off from buying gold or regular gold stocks right now. There's a more lucrative way to play the gold market as we enter a new breakout period. It's all about catching what I call "Acceleration Cycles."

And if you’d like to get your hands on this, here you go, the complete breakdown.
