Chevron Poised to Beat Second-Quarter Profit Estimates on Surging Crude Revenue, UBS Says

Chevron (CVX) is poised to post second-quarter earnings above Wall Street's expectations on stronger crude prices and improved refining margins, UBS Securities said in a note.UBS lifted its Q2 earnings-per-share estimate to $5.70 from $3.82, ahead of the $5.02 consensus. It also raised its 2026 EPS estimate to $13.22 from $10.76 and lowered its 2027 forecast to $11.27 from $11.46. The consensus is $14.21 for this year and $12.55 for next."Higher crude price realizations, better refining margins and higher ethylene chain margins" drove the upward revisions, and cash flow from operations before working capital is expected to reach about $18.5 billion, with a $2.3 billion working-capital tailwind, UBS said.Upstream earnings are expected to rise to $7.6 billion from $4.14 billion in the first quarter, supported by higher volumes from Kazakhstan, Australia, and the Middle East, along with higher prices, the note said.Downstream earnings may reach $4.5 billion, compared with a loss of $465 million in the first quarter, on higher international and US refining margins, the note said. "We expect higher ethylene chain margins to be a $275 million and $325 million earnings tailwind sequentially," UBS said.Last month, Chevron subsidiary Energy Forge One agreed to build a power plant in West Texas to supply electricity to a data center operated by Microsoft (MSFT). The facility will deliver about 2.67 gigawatts of capacity under a 20-year power purchase deal.UBS reiterated its buy rating on Chevron's stock with a $220 price target.Chevron's shares fell 1% in Thursday trading. They have gained 14% this year.Price: $174.25, Change: $-1.72, Percent Change: -0.98%

National Grid Ventures Invests $1.75 Billion in Joulent to Expand US AI Power Infrastructure

National Grid Ventures will invest $1.75 billion for a 35% stake in Joulent to expand US power infrastructure for data centers and artificial intelligence workloads, the companies said Wednesday.The companies will form a strategic partnership to develop contracted power and electrical infrastructure for large-load customers as rising demand from data centers and other power-intensive industries outpaces traditional grid connections.National Grid said the investment expands its presence in one of the fastest-growing electricity markets and supports its strategy to pursue selective critical infrastructure opportunities created by the changing energy landscape.Joulent develops integrated power solutions combining co-located natural gas generation, battery storage, renewable energy and across-the-meter grid connections to deliver faster power while supporting future grid access, the company said.Joulent said the investment will accelerate its multi-gigawatt project pipeline while expanding strategic relationships with GE Vernova and Chevron. National Grid Ventures will also contribute expertise in power management, electrical infrastructure and supply chain execution.The investment will fund Project Kilby, a 2.67-gigawatt West Texas facility that National Grid Ventures and Chevron (CVX) will own equally. The project targets first power in 2028 under a 20-year power purchase agreement supplying a Microsoft-operated data center, the companies said.The partnership could strengthen its data center connection program, through which it expects to connect over 10 GW of demand across the US and the UK over the next five years. The company expects a final investment decision in 2026, National Grid added."Joulent was created to close that gap. This investment from National Grid Ventures strengthens our ability to deliver reliable, large-scale power on the timelines AI infrastructure and advanced industry now requires," said Chris James, Joulent's Founder and CEO."Our investment in Joulent is a disciplined, partner-led investment in contracted critical infrastructure for the AI-driven large load economy," said Zoe Yujnovich, Chief Executive of National Grid.Price: $166.15, Change: $+0.39, Percent Change: +0.24%
