Winston Score History

The full picture

Chevron is one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world. It finds oil and natural gas underground, pulls them out of the earth, and then refines them into products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. It also sells natural gas and chemicals. Its customers include drivers, airlines, factories, and utilities across the globe.

Chevron makes money by selling these fuels and energy products directly and through its gas station network, which includes the Chevron and Texaco brands. It operates in over 180 countries and generates hundreds of billions in annual revenue, giving it the scale to absorb cost swings better than smaller competitors. The biggest risk Chevron faces is that its profits rise and fall sharply with global oil prices, which it cannot control — and growing pressure to shift away from fossil fuels could weigh on long-term demand for its core products.
