Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CVX receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CVX has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 9.0%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-30.4%), slightly negative revenue growth (-4.6%), soft profitability (net margin 6.7%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CVX's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $16.6B (9.0% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is CVX's strongest growth driver at +10.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-4.6%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (-30.4%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 71.2% and approximately 95.3% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.77% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

State Street Corp 7.81%
BlackRock Inc 7.38%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.24%
Berkshire Hathaway Inc 4.30%
Geode Capital Management, LLC 2.23%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CVX generates approximately $304 of gross profit, $90 of operating income, and $90 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 36.76%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CVX has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
