Chevron's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 September 2004. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Chevron shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Chevron shares which in turn could have impacted Chevron's share price.

Valuing Chevron stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Chevron's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Chevron's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Chevron shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Chevron's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.5062. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Chevron's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Chevron's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$41.2 billion (£32.6 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Chevron's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Chevron's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$136.7322 up to US$166.4044. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Chevron's is 1.107. This would suggest that Chevron's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 50.2% of net profits
Recently Chevron has paid out, on average, around 50.2% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.17% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Chevron shareholders could enjoy a 4.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Chevron's case, that would currently equate to about $6.16 per share.
Chevron's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Chevron's most recent dividend payout was on 9 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Chevron.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 43.79
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Chevron's overall score of 43.79 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 91st percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Chevron is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 24.34/100
Chevron's environmental score of 24.34 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Chevron is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 15.98/100
Chevron's social score of 15.98 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Chevron is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 13.98/100
Chevron's governance score puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Chevron is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Chevron scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Chevron hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
Chevron Corp was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.
