Chevron stock (ISIN US1667641005) closed at USD 203.95 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, down 2.6 percent from the prior close. The decline came as oil majors weakened while crude prices faced renewed pressure.

Oil prices drive the latest move

As News coverage reported on September 22, 2026, Chevron shares fell as global crude prices declined for a fourth consecutive session. Brent crude was cited near USD 95.45 per barrel, while US crude futures traded near USD 91.53, linking the stock move directly to the commodity backdrop.

The market data also show a wide valuation frame. Chevron had a 52-week low of USD 146.49 and a 52-week high of USD 217.78, while its market capitalization stood at USD 402.58 billion as of September 22, 2026. The September 21 close was USD 13.83 below the 52-week high and USD 57.46 above the low.

Second quarter delivered a sharp comparison

According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, Chevron reported second quarter earnings of USD 6.06 per share, exceeding the USD 5.55 consensus estimate by USD 0.51. Revenue reached USD 67.20 billion, up 57.4 percent from the year-earlier quarter and above the USD 62.72 billion analyst estimate.

The year-over-year comparison is the central counterweight to the share-price decline: second quarter EPS increased from USD 1.77 in the prior-year period to USD 6.06, while revenue rose by USD 24.48 billion from the comparable USD 42.72 billion level implied by the reported 57.4 percent growth rate. MarketBeat also reported a second quarter net margin of 9.57 percent and return on equity of 11.09 percent.

Valuation remains tied to crude

A separate September 22, 2026 analysis from GuruFocus valued Chevron stock at USD 203.67 and compared it with a proprietary GF Value of USD 164.29, a difference of 24.0 percent. The same analysis cited a dividend yield of 3.42 percent and a payout ratio of 64 percent.

That combination leaves two measurable forces in tension. Second quarter revenue and EPS improved substantially against the prior year, but the September 21 price was 6.35 percent below the 52-week high, making crude-price direction an immediate market variable.
