Goldman Sachs analyst Neil Mehta reinstated a rating on Chevron (CVX) at Buy and added the stock to the firm's Americas Conviction List, stating that Chevron's cash flow profile has positively inflected with the production contribution and capital spending roll-off from the startup of both the Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG projects. Chevron is demonstrating capital discipline, as demonstrated by its decision not to make a counterproposal to Occidental Petroleum's (OXY) offer for Anadarko (APC), and it has a lower capital spending growth rate and a higher production growth rate through 2023 than its closest peer, Exxon (XOM), said Mehta. The analyst has a $144 price target on Chevron shares.
