Chevron should remain cautious in capital spending as it returns to profitability in Q1 2021

10 May, 2021
Chevron posted a profit of US$1.4 billion in Q1 2021, which is still down from pre-pandemic levels a year ago of US$3.6 billion, despite the recovery in energy prices. The difference is mainly driven by benefits of asset sale last year, along with weaker refining margins and production losses in this quarter due to a severe winter storm in the US. The company is right in holding back in capital spending to boost production as its current priority remains in creating a strong balance sheet and generating free cash flow, says data and analytics company, GlobalData. Upstream Oil & Gas…
