Summary
- Third-quarter revenues and other income were $36.12 billion, down 17.9% compared to a year ago and down 7% sequentially. Chevron posted third-quarter earnings of $2.58 billion or $1.36 per diluted.
- Chevron had excellent results in the upstream segment in the third quarter with a production of 3,033K Boep/d, up 2.6% from a year ago and down 1.7% sequentially.
- I recommend CVX as a long-term investment. However, the oil market is very volatile and unpredictable. Thus, I recommend trading the short term with about 30% of your position.

Investment Thesis
Chevron Corp. (CVX) is one of the six preferred oil supermajors fully tailored to be part of your long-term holdings of top oil dividend stocks.
Oil supermajors present what most investors and traders need: Cyclicality, volatility, and resilience - All-In-One package with high dividends.
The only problem for a savvy investor is to adopt the right trading/investing strategy that can reward you the most profit.
Chevron belongs in my list of first-class oil majors like Exxon Mobil (XOM), BP plc (BP), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) (RDS.B), Total S.A. (TOT) and Equinor (EQNR).
I have recently added ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) in the list, which is not an oil supermajor since it spun off Phillips 66 (PSX). Still, I consider as equal when it comes to solidity and diversity. I have indicated in the chart below the market capitalization as of 11/09/2019 and the dividend yield of the seven companies mentioned above:
I have covered regularly these companies, and you can always read my other free articles as they are published by clicking here.
The investment thesis is quite simple with CVX. I recommend CVX as a long-term investment. However, as you know, the oil market is very volatile and unpredictable.
