Read MoreHide Full Article
Chevron (CVX - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $116.27, moving -0.33% from the previous trading session. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.15%. Meanwhile, the Dow gained 0.11%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, lost 0.24%.
Heading into today, shares of the oil company had lost 2.26% over the past month, lagging the Oils-Energy sector's gain of 4.51% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.88% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from CVX as it approaches its next earnings report date. This is expected to be January 31, 2020. On that day, CVX is projected to report earnings of $1.57 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 23.79%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $38.80 billion, down 8.38% from the year-ago period.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for CVX. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
