Recent analysis from Mizuho: “We are assuming coverage of CVX with a Neutral rating and a NAV-based price target of $200.00/sh. The company was a leader in cash return through the downturn between 2019 and 2022, and has one of the strongest balance sheets in our Energy coverage. However, with 1) the stock trading at a premium on FCF/ EV, 2) potential capital efficiency headwinds in the Permian, and 3) limited line of sight on long-term reserves, we take a more Neutral view of the investment case and would look for a better entry point”.

CVX rose 51.2% in 2022, while the benchmark S&P 500 (SP500) slid nearly 20% for the year. Stock is up 8% in January as of today’s close.
