Chevron News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting Chevron this week:

Reuters: Chevron takes final investment decision on Leviathan gas expansion
• Positive Sentiment: Multiple outlets report Chevron is likely to receive an expanded U.S. license to operate in Venezuela, which — if finalized and implemented — would enable higher production and exports from a large resource basin and materially improve future production upside. Reuters: Chevron expected to receive expanded Venezuela license
• Neutral Sentiment: Republican bill H.R.7084 (Defending American Property Abroad Act) would give the U.S. government additional tools related to ports and assets seized by foreign states — could be helpful for U.S. companies with expropriation risk, but timing and use of the law are uncertain. QuiverQuant: H.R.7084 summary
• Neutral Sentiment: Investor commentary and screening pieces are flagging Chevron as a dividend and income name worth buying on weakness — supportive to longer‑term demand for the stock but less relevant to near‑term price moves. Seeking Alpha: Buy the dip — dividend growth stocks
• Negative Sentiment: New legislation proposed (H.R.7094, No Aid for Russian Energy Act) would restrict U.S. persons and parent companies from supplying equipment/services to Russia’s energy sector — a potential regulatory headwind for U.S. majors with any exposure or plans tied to Russia. QuiverQuant: H.R.7094 summary
• Negative Sentiment: Insider selling: an executive sold 3,200 shares at roughly $168 — common but can be interpreted as a modest near‑term negative signal to sentiment. SEC Form 4: insider sale
