Notes From All Over -- January 28, 2022

Rigzone: Chevron profit falls short of forecasts.  

Chevron linked the earnings miss to the shrinking value of legacy assets including a stake in an Australian gas development known as the Northwest Shelf, which the company has been trying to sell since 2020. Higher royalty and tax payments tied to rising commodity prices also played a role, as well as the timing of some gas trades.

CVX CEO Michael Wirth on CNBC this morning. Great interview. My takeaway:

  • long-term investors are happy;
  • numbers will continue to get better;
  • recent investors will be disappointed

Re-posting

CVX misses. Now we know why the company pre-announced a dividend increase yesterday.
