Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 57% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 9, 2025
Chevron pays a 4 percent dividend and is using 10 billion dollars a year to buy back its own shares, which usually helps the price. Trading activity jumped on July 9, and the stock looks pricey after a strong run. If the price slips to about 147 to 150 dollars, close to its recent average, investors could buy before late-July results and news on its big Tengiz oil project, aiming for roughly 165 dollars plus dividends within three months.
Primary drivers
- Huge 10-billion-dollar yearly share buybacks keep steady demand for the stock
- Unusually heavy option trading hints that many speculators expect bigger moves
- Tengiz field upgrade could bring in a lot more oil and cash from 2025 onward
- Price looks stretched now; waiting for pullback could raise possible gains
How it played out
CVX: the thesis partly played out
Lyra published CVX at 149.88 on 2025-07-09 with an expected gain of 12%. The thesis pointed to a 4 percent dividend, 10 billion dollars a year in share buybacks, heavy option trading, a possible pullback near 147 to 150 dollars, late-July results, and the Tengiz oil project. The target was 164.18.
Inside the window, CVX rose, but it stayed below the target. The peak was 160.07 on 2025-09-02, a 6.8% gain. It ended at 153.20 on 2025-10-07. The thesis partly played out because the stock moved up, but it never reached the published target.
What happened during the window
On 2025-07-18, Chevron completed its acquisition of Hess after an arbitration ruling cleared the deal. On 2025-08-01, Chevron reported second-quarter results, including quarterly records for worldwide and U.S. net oil-equivalent production.
