UBS lifts Chevron price target to $235 on stronger refining outlook

UBS raised its price target for Chevron Corp. to $235, up from $220, while keeping a Buy rating. The broker also lifted its third‑quarter 2026 earnings‑per‑share estimate to $4.93 from $4.15 and expects cash flow from operations of $16.3 billion for the quarter. The revision follows higher crude price realizations and better refining margins. Chevron’s shares were trading around $211 in the market.

UBS says the higher target reflects stronger refining margins and a brighter earnings outlook, which could encourage investors to bid up the stock. The firm’s revised EPS and cash‑flow forecasts suggest improved profitability for the quarter.
