Chevron Cash Fuels Deal Talk -- WSJ

Link here. (The link may or may not work, but googling the subject will bring you to the article. The article has been referenced throughout the day by many outlets; I saw it in the print edition to which I subscribe. The story is a good story; to see the graphic at the link says it all.)

According to the WSJ, cash on hand, after subtracting debt, in billions (rounded):
  • CVX: $11
  • XOM: $2
  • OXY: -$3
  • EOG: -$5
  • Hess: -$7
  • CHK: -$14
  • COP: -$26
All that cash suggests CVX is getting ready to make an acquisition.

Forbes columnist suggests three possibilities, including CLR (all) and CHK's Permian acreage.

Motley Fool: CHK, Hess.
