Chevron (CVX) is gaining popularity as oil prices continue to rise, with the company's strong operating base, growing dividend and new corporate developments providing more support than just higher crude prices. The company has reported strong Q4 2025 earnings, adjusted earnings, and cash flow from operations of $3.0 billion, and raised its quarterly dividend 4% to $1.78 per share, and global production rose 12% to a record 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2025. Additionally, Chevron has signed lease agreements for four offshore exploration blocks in Greece and entered Libya with a new block award in the Sirte Basin and signed an agreement to evaluate development and exploration potential there. The firm also has significant exposure to some of the most active geopolitical oil themes in the market.
