Raymond James lowered the firm’s price target on Chevron (CVX) to $170 from $175 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. Despite the volatile commodity backdrop in oil & gas, majors still remain a top defensive pick within energy, next to midstream in trading action, and while Q4 saw lower oil prices, the outlook to start 2025 has improved on tightened sanctions on Russia and a cold start in the Northern Hemisphere winter, boosting the demand picture, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm’s estimates are more conservative than the Street for Q4, and more optimistic for 2025/2026.
