On April 9, 2026, Chevron gave preliminary first-quarter 2026 estimates that mix higher oil and gas prices with several negative items. Higher commodity prices are expected to add $1.6 billion to $2.2 billion to upstream earnings versus fourth quarter 2025, but timing effects and a litigation charge are expected to weigh on earnings and cash flow.

Timing effects, after tax, are expected to reduce first-quarter earnings and cash flow from operations excluding working capital by about $2.7 billion to $3.7 billion, mostly in Downstream.
Upstream earnings are expected to benefit by $1.6 billion to $2.2 billion from higher commodity prices compared with fourth quarter 2025.
A Downstream litigation reserve tied to ceased operations is expected to bring a charge of about $350 million to $400 million after tax.
Upstream net production is expected at 3.8 to 3.9 million barrels of oil-equivalent per day, reflecting downtime at Tengizchevroil and reduced Middle East output.
