Forecasts earnings per share annual growth greater than 10% at $70 Brent
NEW YORK, November 12, 2025 — At its investor day, Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) outlined its five-year plan to 2030 and how it intends to deliver sustained cash flow growth, further strengthen its portfolio, advance power solutions for AI data centers, and grow shareholder distributions.
“We believe Chevron is uniquely positioned to grow earnings and free cash flow into the next decade,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and CEO. “Never in my career have I seen a higher confidence outlook, further into the future and with lower execution risk; Chevron is stronger, more resilient, and better positioned than ever.”
Delivering Sustained Cash Flow Growth
Chevron expects to maintain capital and cost discipline while investing to extend cash flow growth into the next decade.
In line with these objectives, the company expects to:Maintain a capex and dividend breakeven below $50 Brent per barrel through 2030.
Improve return on capital employed by over 3% by 2030 at $70 Brent.
Increase Hess synergies to $1.5B and structural cost reductions to $3B to $4B by the end of 2026.
Grow oil and gas production 2% to 3% annually through 2030.
Deliver its first AI data center power project in West Texas, targeting first power in 2027.
Strengthening the Portfolio
Through years of project execution and strategic acquisitions, Chevron has built a resilient, world-class portfolio with diversified growth opportunities that extend into the next decade. The company has premier Upstream assets in some of the world’s most prolific oil and gas basins. The Downstream and Chemicals business is strategically advantaged and growing, with two major Chemicals projects expected to start up in 2027.
“Chevron is poised to deliver resilient free cash flow growth with low execution risk,” said Mark Nelson, vice chairman and executive vice president, Oil, Products, and Gas. “We’re continuing to demonstrate that capital discipline and innovation position us to deliver long-term value for shareholders.”
Superior Shareholder Returns
Chevron expects to extend its track-record of leading dividend growth and consistent share repurchases through the commodity cycle, supported by a growing and diversified portfolio of high-margin assets.
Chevron has led its peers in dividend per share growth over the last 25 years with an average annual increase of 7%. The company has repurchased shares in 18 of the last 22 years and expects to repurchase $10 to $20 billion per year through 2030 at average prices of $60 to $80 Brent.
“Chevron’s sustained cash generation underpins superior shareholder returns,” said CFO Eimear Bonner. “Our advantaged assets, balance sheet strength and disciplined capital program provide the foundation to thrive in any price environment.”
Pragmatic Approach to New Energies
Chevron is taking a pragmatic, returns-driven approach to New Energies. The company is developing businesses that leverage its core strengths and capabilities, including a large-scale power project in West Texas to support data center growth, as well as renewable fuels, hydrogen, CCUS and lithium businesses.
“Our disciplined approach to investing in new energies positions us to deliver competitive returns and keep pace with the evolving market,” said Jeff Gustavson, president of Chevron New Energies. “We are excited about our new power business, where we have an early-mover advantage and look forward to providing the power required to support U.S. leadership in Artificial Intelligence.”
