UBS lifts Chevron price target to $265 and maintains Buy rating

UBS upgraded its outlook for Chevron, keeping a Buy recommendation while moving the price target up to $265 from $235. The analyst sees a potential 16.3% gain from the closing price of $227.77 on November 2. Chevron's shares slipped 1.59% to $231.77 after reporting adjusted earnings of $10.4 billion and adjusted free cash flow of $14.2 billion, leaving an $8.2 billion surplus after distributions.

The higher target suggests UBS expects the stock to appreciate, which could influence investor sentiment and buying pressure. The rating and target change may affect portfolio allocations that track analyst recommendations.
