Chevron accounts for about 20% of Venezuela’s crude oil production and is actively discussing expanding its operating license to boost exports. Despite geopolitical uncertainties, Chevron’s stock has risen 7.86% over the past year and 5.94% in the last six months.

Analysts remain mixed but overall positive on Chevron stock, with a mean price target implying a 4.3% upside potential.
