Chevron: Q2 EPS falls by more than expected
(CercleFinance.com) - Chevron reported a stronger-than-expected decline in Q2 earnings on Friday, reflecting lower oil and gas prices that weighed on its refining margins.
The US group's earnings were halved to $5.7bn, or $3.08 per share, in the quarter, from $11.4bn, or $5.82 per share a year earlier.
By comparison, analysts expected EPS of $3.13.
Affected by the decline in energy prices, its quarterly sales fell to $47.2bn, 30% lower than $65.4bn the previous year.
Here too the consensus was expecting more - forecasting $48.2bn.
Chevron shares were down about 0.5% in pre-market trading after these figures.
