CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Shareholder Vote Results (May 29, 2026)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 27, 2026, with the primary purpose of voting on director elections and various proposals. The results indicate strong support for the company's slate of directors, with all nominees being elected to one-year terms. Additionally, stockholders overwhelmingly ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 and approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Chevron's named executive officers. These outcomes reflect continued confidence from the shareholder base in the company's leadership and governance practices. Conversely, several stockholder proposals presented at the meeting did not receive majority support and were therefore not approved. These included proposals on establishing an independent chair, publishing a report on indigenous peoples' rights, and commissioning a third-party report on human rights processes. The significant opposition to these proposals suggests a divergence in perspective between the proposing stockholders and the broader shareholder base regarding these specific governance and social initiatives.

CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Financial Results (May 1, 2026)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) has filed a Form 8-K on May 1, 2026, to report its unaudited first quarter 2026 financial results. The company announced a net income of $2.2 billion for the quarter. This filing serves to officially disclose these results, which were previously announced via a press release on the same date.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Financial Results (Apr 9, 2026)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) has filed an 8-K report on April 9, 2026, providing preliminary guidance for its first-quarter 2026 financial and operational results. The company anticipates significant negative impacts from timing effects related to commodity price volatility and derivative hedging, estimated between $2.7 to $3.7 billion, primarily impacting the Downstream segment. Additionally, working capital is expected to see a net outflow of $2.0 to $4.0 billion, typical for first-quarter activity in a higher commodity price environment. Despite these headwinds, Chevron expects its Upstream segment to benefit from higher commodity prices, projecting a gain of $1.6 to $2.2 billion compared to the prior quarter. However, upstream production is forecast to be between 3.8 to 3.9 million barrels of oil-equivalent per day, affected by downtime at Tengizchevroil and reduced output in the Middle East. A notable item is an anticipated $350-$400 million charge related to a litigation reserve for ceased operations, which will impact Downstream earnings and cash flow. The company also noted that first-quarter weighted-average shares outstanding were approximately 1.98 billion, with share repurchases largely offset by employee stock option exercises.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Bylaw Amendment (Mar 25, 2026)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) has filed a Current Report (8-K) on March 25, 2026, primarily to announce amendments to its By-Laws. These amendments, effective immediately, change the designation of directors responsible for electing the Chairman and Lead Director from "independent Directors" to "non-employee Directors." This change is driven by the recent acquisition of Hess Corporation, which has resulted in John Hess joining Chevron's Board as a non-employee director who does not meet the NYSE's definition of an independent director due to certain acquisition-related transactions. The company states that this modification allows Mr. Hess to fully participate in key board functions while ensuring continued compliance with NYSE listing standards. The Board believes it is beneficial for Chevron to have Mr. Hess involved in these specific leadership elections. Investors should note that these changes are a governance adjustment to accommodate board composition post-acquisition and are not expected to be material to Chevron's financial performance.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jan 30, 2026)

While the 8-K itself is brief, it directs investors to Exhibit 99.1, the official news release, for comprehensive details on the company's performance. Investors should review this attached exhibit for specific revenue figures, operational segment performance, and any forward-looking statements or management commentary regarding the fourth quarter and the outlook for 2026. The filing ensures transparency and timely disclosure of these key financial metrics.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Jan 30, 2026)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) filed an 8-K on January 29, 2026, detailing executive compensation adjustments approved by the Board of Directors. The report primarily focuses on increases to the base salaries for key executives, including the CEO, CFO, and other named officers, effective March 1, 2026. Additionally, it confirms that there will be no changes to the target percentages for the 2026 Chevron Incentive Plan (CIP). The filing also outlines significant equity awards for 2024 granted under the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), with a grant date of February 1, 2026. These awards, comprising performance shares and restricted stock units, represent substantial compensation for the named executive officers, with the CEO receiving the largest award. Investors should note that these compensation decisions reflect the Board's view on executive performance and retention strategies.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Jan 27, 2026)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) announced a significant addition to its Board of Directors with the appointment of Thomas W. Horton, effective January 27, 2026. Mr. Horton brings a wealth of experience in finance, operations, and corporate leadership, including his recent role as a partner at Global Infrastructure Partners and prior executive positions at American Airlines and AT&T. His appointment to the Board, and specifically to the Audit Committee, is expected to bolster the company's oversight and strategic guidance. In conjunction with his appointment, Mr. Horton will receive a prorated restricted stock unit award and an annual cash retainer for his services as a non-employee director. This compensation structure is standard for non-employee directors and aligns with Chevron's existing equity compensation plans. Investors will want to monitor how Mr. Horton's extensive background in infrastructure and financial management will influence Chevron's strategic decisions, particularly within the Audit Committee.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K/A Report, Executive Changes (Dec 19, 2025)
This 8-K/A filing from Chevron Corporation (CVX) serves as an amendment, providing updated details on transactions related to the recently closed acquisition of Hess Corporation. Specifically, it clarifies the terms under which Chevron U.S.A. Inc. will transfer its interest in Hess Toy Truck LLC (ToyCo) and HFO Holdings LLC's interest in HLOGO LLC (which holds the "Hess" brand intellectual property and electronic assets) to John B. Hess. These transactions are a consequence of the acquisition and involve the sale of membership interests in ToyCo for $40,000 and HLOGO for $863,000. Investors should note that Chevron has secured a perpetual, royalty-free license to use the "Hess" trademarks in its oil and gas business and for the ToyCo business, which is a strategic advantage. Additionally, the filing details a transition services agreement and associated vendor costs for separating the Hess family office IT infrastructure, with a portion of these costs being allocated to services performed after Mr. Hess joined the board. While the financial impact of these specific transactions is relatively minor given Chevron's scale, they represent the unwinding of specific Hess Corporation assets post-acquisition.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Dec 9, 2025)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) announced through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (CUSA), the issuance of $154.204 million in Floating Rate Notes due 2075. These notes are guaranteed by the parent corporation, Chevron Corporation, on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis, ranking equally with existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of Chevron Corporation. However, investors should note that these notes will be structurally subordinated to any indebtedness of CUSA. The issuance was facilitated by an Underwriting Agreement with several major financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, and UBS Securities LLC. The notes will mature in 2075 and will bear interest at a floating rate tied to Compounded SOFR minus 45 basis points, with interest payments scheduled quarterly. Chevron has also filed various registration statements and prospectus supplements related to this offering.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Bylaw Amendment (Dec 5, 2025)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) has filed an 8-K report detailing amendments to its By-Laws and an updated list of executive officers, both effective December 3, 2025. The By-Laws have been streamlined, particularly Article II concerning Officers. This amendment grants the Board of Directors greater flexibility in defining officer roles and titles, moving away from specifying numerous predefined positions. The intent is to modernize officer nomenclature and align it with current industry practices, allowing for more adaptable organizational structures. In conjunction with the By-Law changes, Chevron has also updated its executive officer roster. While Michael K. Wirth remains as Chief Executive Officer, the list includes key changes and additions designed to reflect a more contemporary organizational setup. Notable adjustments include the appointment of new Presidents for specific segments and a Chief Technology and Engineering Officer. These changes, alongside the By-Law revisions, signal Chevron's commitment to adapting its leadership structure to evolving business needs and industry standards.

This planned departure provides a clear runway for a succession plan. The company's Board of Directors has appointed Amit R. Ghai as the new Controller, effective March 1, 2026. Mr. Ghai will also assume the role of Chevron's principal accounting officer. With extensive experience within Chevron since 2004, including his current role as Assistant Controller and previous leadership positions in Downstream & Chemicals and Finance, Supply and Trading, Mr. Ghai is well-positioned to seamlessly transition into this critical role. Investors can view this as a stable and orderly management change.

Investors should review the accompanying news release for a deeper dive into the financial metrics, segment performance, and any management commentary.

The company's performance in the third quarter will be a significant factor in evaluating its year-to-date trajectory and outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Sep 25, 2025)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) has filed an 8-K report disclosing preliminary estimates that could impact its third quarter 2025 financial results. The most significant factor highlighted is the estimated impact of the Hess Corporation acquisition, which is projected to result in an after-tax loss of $200 million to $400 million for the quarter. However, when adjusted to exclude severance and other transaction-related costs, the Hess acquisition is expected to contribute positively, with adjusted earnings estimated between $50 million and $150 million. Beyond the Hess acquisition, Chevron also provided other financial guidance for the third quarter. This includes an estimated $1.0 billion to $1.25 billion in capital expenditures and proceeds and deposits of $410 million related to asset sales, specifically the Malaysia/Thailand JDA asset sale. The company anticipates approximately half of the severance and transaction costs related to Hess will be incurred in Q3 2025, with the remainder spread over the next 12 months. Investors should note that this information is preliminary and has not been reviewed by independent auditors, with final results expected around October 31, 2025.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Aug 13, 2025)
Chevron Corporation, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (CUSA), has announced the issuance of a significant tranche of new debt securities totaling $5.2 billion. This issuance comprises a mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate notes across various maturities, ranging from 2027 to 2035, with coupon rates from 3.950% to 4.850% for fixed-rate notes and SOFR-based rates for floating-rate notes. The parent corporation, Chevron Corporation, fully guarantees these obligations on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis, ranking equally with existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the corporation. This debt issuance represents a strategic move by Chevron to access capital markets for funding. Investors should note that while the corporation guarantees the notes, they are structurally subordinated to any indebtedness of CUSA. The varying maturities and types of notes (fixed vs. floating) offer investors different risk-return profiles based on interest rate expectations and desired holding periods. The issuance was conducted under an Underwriting Agreement with prominent financial institutions and was registered with the SEC, with detailed prospectuses available for review.

Chevron Corporation (CVX) has filed an 8-K report detailing significant board changes and agreements related to its recent acquisition of Hess Corporation. The most impactful development for investors is the appointment of John B. Hess, former CEO of Hess Corporation, to Chevron's Board of Directors and its Public Policy and Sustainability Committee. This appointment signifies a continued integration of the Hess acquisition and brings considerable industry experience to Chevron's leadership. The report also outlines a Memorandum of Understanding and a Transition Services Agreement between Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and HFO Holdings LLC (wholly owned by Mr. Hess). These agreements detail the future operational transfer and potential sale of specific Hess assets, including the Hess toy truck business, aircraft-related assets, and intellectual property related to the 'Hess' brand and trademarks, post-acquisition. These arrangements provide clarity on how certain non-core Hess assets will be managed and potentially divested, with pricing to be determined by independent appraisals. Investors should note the ongoing complexities and detailed asset management plans arising from the large Hess acquisition.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jul 18, 2025)

CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Bylaw Amendment (May 30, 2025)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) filed an 8-K on May 29, 2025, detailing the results of its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 28, 2025. The most significant outcome for investors is the stockholder approval of amendments to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation. These amendments provide for officer exculpation, limiting monetary liability for certain officers in circumstances similar to, but more restricted than, director protections. This change, effective May 28, 2025, aims to enhance the company's ability to attract and retain executive talent by offering a degree of liability protection. Furthermore, the meeting saw overwhelming approval for the election of all director nominees for one-year terms and the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for 2025. Stockholder approval was also secured for executive compensation on an advisory basis. Conversely, several stockholder proposals, including those related to human rights reports, renewable energy stranded asset risks, and the ability for shareholders to call special meetings, did not receive sufficient support for approval.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Financial Results (May 2, 2025)

CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Mar 17, 2025)
Chevron Corporation has filed an 8-K report detailing its recent stock purchases of Hess Corporation. Between January and March 2025, Chevron acquired 15,380,000 shares of Hess common stock in open market transactions, representing approximately 4.99% of Hess's outstanding shares. These purchases were made at a discount to the implied price in the pending merger agreement and underscore Chevron's continued confidence in the successful completion of its acquisition of Hess. These strategic stock acquisitions of Hess are separate from Chevron's ongoing share repurchase program for its own common stock in the first quarter of 2025. The company emphasizes that these actions reflect a positive outlook on the Hess transaction, despite the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with such large-scale acquisitions and the broader energy market. Investors should monitor any further developments related to the Hess acquisition, including regulatory approvals and the resolution of any ongoing arbitration.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Feb 26, 2025)
Chevron Corporation, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (CUSA), has completed a significant debt offering totaling approximately $5.75 billion. This issuance comprises a mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate notes with maturities ranging from 2027 to 2035. The fixed-rate notes offer coupon rates between 4.405% and 4.980%, while the floating-rate notes are tied to Compounded SOFR plus a spread. Chevron Corporation is providing an unsecured and unsubordinated guarantee for these notes, ranking them equally with other senior unsecured indebtedness of the corporation. This debt issuance represents a strategic move by Chevron to secure long-term funding. The diversification in note types (fixed and floating) and maturity profiles suggests a proactive approach to managing its capital structure and potential interest rate exposures. Investors should note that while the corporation's guarantee is unconditional, the notes are structurally subordinated to any indebtedness of CUSA. The details of the offering, including specific terms and conditions, are further elaborated in the accompanying prospectus supplements and underwriting agreements filed with the SEC.

This move aligns with Chevron's strategy to optimize its portfolio and focus on core assets, potentially improving capital efficiency and shareholder returns.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Sep 30, 2024)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) has announced a significant development regarding its previously disclosed acquisition of Hess Corporation. On September 30, 2024, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted to accept a consent agreement, effectively completing the FTC's review of the merger. This decision signals progress in overcoming regulatory hurdles, though the consummation of the merger is still contingent on other closing conditions. Key to the FTC's consent agreement is the stipulation that John B. Hess will not be appointed to Chevron's Board of Directors post-merger. Mr. Hess is expected to serve in advisory roles related to government relations and social investments in Guyana, as well as supporting the Salk Institute's initiatives. Investors should note that while this FTC clearance is a positive step, the overall completion of the Hess acquisition hinges on the satisfactory resolution of ongoing arbitration proceedings concerning preemptive rights in the Stabroek Block joint operating agreement. The parties have until one year from the HSR Act waiting period expiration (July 1, 2024) to close the deal.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Aug 2, 2024)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) has announced a significant strategic move and leadership transition. The company is relocating its corporate headquarters from San Ramon, California, to Houston, Texas, effective January 1, 2025. This move, coupled with executive-level changes, signals a potential shift in operational focus and geographic presence for the energy giant. Investors should closely monitor the implications of this relocation on operational costs, talent acquisition, and overall business strategy. In conjunction with the headquarters relocation, Chevron is also implementing senior leadership changes. A. Nigel Hearne, Executive Vice President of Oil, Products & Gas, will resign from his position effective October 1, 2024, and retire in February 2025, transitioning to a Senior Advisor role until then. Mark A. Nelson, currently Vice Chairman, will assume Mr. Hearne's responsibilities as Executive Vice President of Oil, Products & Gas, also effective October 1, 2024. These changes are designed to ensure a smooth handover of critical operational leadership.

CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Jul 31, 2024)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) filed an 8-K on July 31, 2024, providing an update on its pending merger with Hess Corporation. The primary focus of this filing is the status of the arbitration concerning the right of first refusal (ROFR) related to the Stabroek Block in Guyana. Chevron and Hess assert their continued confidence that the ROFR does not apply to the merger, despite ongoing arbitration proceedings with ExxonMobil and CNOOC affiliates. The arbitration merits hearing is now scheduled for May 2025, with a decision anticipated three months later. While Chevron and Hess had pushed for an earlier hearing, scheduling constraints of the arbitrators led to the revised timeline. The companies remain committed to the merger and are proceeding as planned, emphasizing their belief that the arbitration will ultimately confirm their position. Investors should monitor this arbitration closely as it remains a significant potential hurdle to the successful completion of the Hess acquisition.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Shareholder Vote Results (May 31, 2024)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) filed an 8-K on May 30, 2024, detailing the results of its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 29, 2024. The report indicates strong shareholder support for the company's nominees for the Board of Directors and the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent auditor. Additionally, advisory approval was given for the compensation of named executive officers. These outcomes suggest continued confidence from shareholders in the company's leadership and governance. However, several shareholder proposals concerning environmental and social issues, including voluntary carbon reduction, plastic demand, human rights, and tax practices, did not receive majority support. This indicates a divergence between management's recommendations and the preferences of a significant portion of the shareholder base on these specific ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) matters.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Financial Results (Apr 26, 2024)

While the report itself is brief, the attached earnings release (Exhibit 99.1) will contain the detailed financial results and operational commentary that investors should review for a comprehensive understanding of the company's performance. Investors should note that the information furnished in this 8-K, including the earnings release, is not considered "filed" under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning it does not carry the same legal implications as formally filed documents for liability purposes related to misstatements or omissions. However, it is crucial for understanding Chevron's recent financial health and operational achievements.

The filing also outlines the 2024 incentive plan targets, which remain unchanged for key executives, and details significant equity awards granted under the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The equity awards, to be granted on February 6, 2024, consist of performance shares, restricted stock units, and stock options, with the CEO, Michael K. Wirth, receiving the largest portion.

Specific vesting and payout conditions are detailed, including provisions for termination of employment and post-vesting holding periods, which are adjusted for executives who have reached certain tenure or age milestones.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Financial Results (Jan 2, 2024)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) has announced an update regarding its fourth quarter 2023 financial results, specifically detailing significant non-cash charges expected to impact earnings. The company anticipates a substantial impairment of approximately $3.5 billion to $4.0 billion, after-tax, primarily related to its U.S. upstream assets in California. This impairment is attributed to continuing regulatory challenges in the state, which have led to reduced anticipated future investment levels. Additionally, a portion of abandonment and decommissioning obligations from previously sold U.S. Gulf of Mexico assets will likely revert to Chevron due to the bankruptcy filings of the purchasing entities, also contributing to expected charges. These charges are planned to be treated as "special items" and excluded from Chevron's "adjusted earnings," a non-GAAP measure the company uses to present underlying business performance. While the impairment reflects challenges in specific operating environments, Chevron intends to continue operating the impacted California assets and expects to undertake the decommissioning activities over the next decade. Investors should note that these are non-cash charges and will be detailed further in the upcoming financial statements, with the company emphasizing their exclusion from adjusted earnings for performance comparisons.
CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Dec 8, 2023)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) has filed an 8-K report detailing an update regarding its proposed acquisition of Hess Corporation. The primary event disclosed is that both Chevron and Hess have received a "Second Request" for additional information from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) concerning the merger. This Second Request, issued on December 7, 2023, extends the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act. While this indicates a more thorough regulatory review, both companies expect to respond promptly and cooperate with the FTC. This development is a normal part of the antitrust review process for large mergers and suggests the regulatory bodies are scrutinizing the deal's potential impact on competition. Investors should note that the closing of the merger is contingent upon the expiration or termination of this HSR waiting period, among other conditions. Chevron and Hess are committed to providing the requested information and continuing to work towards the transaction's completion.

CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Shareholder Vote Results (Jun 2, 2023)
This 8-K filing from Chevron Corporation details the results of its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 31, 2023. The meeting primarily focused on shareholder votes for director elections, ratification of the independent auditor, executive compensation, and various shareholder proposals. Notably, all director nominees were overwhelmingly elected, and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was ratified as the independent registered public accounting firm. The advisory vote on executive compensation was also approved, with shareholders favoring an annual vote on this matter. However, the filing also highlights significant opposition to several environmental and social governance (ESG) related shareholder proposals. Proposals concerning Scope 3 emissions reductions, recalculating emissions baselines, establishing a decarbonization risk committee, worker and community impacts from energy transitions, racial equity audits, tax practices, and adopting an independent chair policy all failed to gain majority support from shareholders. This indicates a divergence in priorities between management and certain shareholder groups on specific ESG initiatives.

CHEVRON CORP 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Jan 27, 2023)
This 8-K filing from Chevron Corporation details executive compensation adjustments made on January 25, 2023. The Board of Directors, through its independent directors and the Management Compensation Committee, approved changes to base salaries, bonus targets, and equity awards for its Named Executive Officers. Notably, the CEO, Michael K. Wirth, received a base salary increase, and both he and other key executives, Pierre R. Breber and Mark A. Nelson, were granted performance shares, stock options, and restricted stock units under the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The performance share awards are tied to a three-year performance period (2023-2025) with payouts contingent on Chevron's relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) Improvement compared to a defined peer group. The filing also outlines specific terms regarding vesting and potential forfeiture of these awards under certain termination conditions, especially for Mr. Wirth, Mr. Breber, and Mr. Nelson upon reaching 90 points (age + years of service) by January 31, 2024. Additionally, James W. Johnson's compensation is impacted by his upcoming separation from the company, leading to no CIP award and no equity grant for the 2023 cycle.
