Chevron: What Dividend Investors Should Expect After the Latest Boom

Chevron: What Dividend Investors Should Expect After the Latest Boom

01/07/2026 04:40 AM • Chevron achieved record dividend increases of 6-8% annually from 2022-2024 driven by high oil prices and strong upstream cash flows. However, with oil prices expected to average $55-60/barrel in 2026 and only moderately recover to ~$75/barrel by 2030, investors should expect more modest dividend growth of approximately 5% annually through 2030. The company's strategic focus on higher-return assets like Guyana operations could support 7-8% increases long-term if production costs fall below $30/barrel.

CVX - Chevron maintains a solid dividend history and strategic positioning in high-return assets like Guyana, but near-term dividend growth expectations are moderating from 6-8% to ~5% due to anticipated lower oil prices ($55-60/barrel in 2026). Long-term prospects remain positive if the company achieves its cost reduction targets, but near-term headwinds from oversupply and lower commodity prices create a balanced outlook.

TSMC: Why an Nvidia Chip Could Supercharge the Next Rally

01/07/2026 03:50 AM • TSMC could benefit significantly from increased demand for NVIDIA's H200 chips in China following President Trump's policy shift allowing sales to approved Chinese customers. Chinese firms have ordered over 2 million H200 chips for 2026, but NVIDIA only has 700,000 available, prompting the company to contact TSMC for production ramp-up. This could create a substantial new revenue stream for TSMC, though approvals from both U.S. and Chinese governments are still pending.

KEY - Identified as potential AI productivity beneficiary in banking sector with back-office automation potential
TSM - TSMC stands to gain a substantial new revenue stream from increased H200 chip production for Chinese customers.
