On the other hand, the Dow registered a gain of 0.91%, and the technology-centric Nasdaq decreased by 0.82%.
The oil company's shares have seen an increase of 3.88% over the last month, not keeping up with the Oils-Energy sector's gain of 4.89% and the S&P 500's gain of 5.17%.
Analysts and investors alike will be keeping a close eye on the performance of Chevron in its upcoming earnings disclosure. The company's earnings per share (EPS) are projected to be $1.58, reflecting a 38.04% decrease from the same quarter last year. At the same time, our most recent consensus estimate is projecting a revenue of $46.87 billion, reflecting a 8.41% fall from the equivalent quarter last year.
In terms of the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates predict earnings of $7.09 per share and a revenue of $190.14 billion, indicating changes of -29.45% and -6.24%, respectively, from the former year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Chevron. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the business outlook.
Our research demonstrates that these adjustments in estimates directly associate with imminent stock price performance. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell).
