KeyBanc's revised oil deck reflects a materially stronger crude environment than previously modeled, with dislocations in global crude and refined products expected to persist into summer.

The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth Index Fund ETF Shares tracks the S&P 500 Growth Index, which screens for companies with strong revenue growth, earnings growth, and price momentum.

The drone strikes and infrastructure damage at Qatar's massive Ras Laffan complex triggered force majeure declarations and slashed roughly 15% to 20% of global supply overnight, leading to a spike in spot prices in Asia and Europe.

U.S. shale producer Devon Energy will acquire Coterra Energy for nearly $26 billion in a combination that creates a domestic oil and gas juggernaut trailing only household names Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips in sheer production volumes, the companies announced Feb. 2. After a couple of years of rapid consolidation in the energy sector, dealmaking slowed down dramatically last year as oil prices fell when OPEC ramped up its output and the Trump administration implemented a series of tariffs worldwide.

TD Cowen cut its earnings estimates to reflect inflationary pressure from higher prices of oil-based inputs and potentially higher costs for tallow, which are up 40% versus a year ago on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Diageo's dividend situation has deteriorated sharply, with a rebased interim payout of $0.20 per share and a new policy establishing a minimum annual floor of $0.50, indicating a focus on debt reduction over income.

Wells Fargo's revised thesis centers on Vietnam production sharing contract modeling refined through recent webinar insights, reinforcing long-term offshore value even as the firm acknowledges the opportunity remains long dated and valuation stays anchored to near-term cash flow.

We're also funding incremental shareholder returns for free cash flow after distributions, rather than leverage buybacks. And so it's just a bit more of a conservative approach that we're following that is in line with our profile and Chevron's target of 200,000 barrels of oil per day plateau production in the Bakken.

In FY2025, Chord delivered oil volumes that exceeded original guidance by more than 1,000 barrels per day while capital came in approximately $60 million lower. Full-year CapEx landed more than $100 million below pro forma FY24, with oil volumes 1% higher year over year, and the company generated approximately $160 million in incremental run-rate free cash flow through continuous improvement.

Full-year 2025 net income fell 14% to $28.8 billion, even as the company posted record production of 4.7 million oil-equivalent barrels per day, the highest annual output in over 40 years. More volume, less profit. That gap is almost entirely explained by WTI crude, which averaged around $90 as of March 10, 2026.

CEO Mike Wirth called it a "significant achievement...integrated Hess, started-up major projects, delivered record production." Chevron's integrated model spans upstream production, refining, chemicals, and emerging energy ventures, including lithium and hydrogen projects. The company returned $12.1 billion in share buybacks for the year and raised its dividend 4% to $1.78 per share.

ConocoPhillips reported disappointing fourth-quarter results on February 5, 2026, missing both earnings and revenue estimates as lower oil prices overshadowed production gains from the Marathon Oil acquisition.

Net income tumbled to $1.44 billion from $2.30 billion in the year-ago quarter, a 37.3% decline driven primarily by weaker commodity prices.
