ExxonMobil vs. Chevron: The Illusion of Revenue Scale
Yahoo Finance ·
ExxonMobil ( XOM 0.28% ) and Chevron ( CVX +0.27% ) are the undisputed titans of the oil and gas sector. Both are integrated oil and gas giants and top dividend-paying companies, but one is significantly larger than the other. ExxonMobil primarily generates revenue by exploring for, extracting, and refining oil and natural gas globally, while also manufacturing commercial petrochemicals, olefins, and specialized chemical products. It recently reached a preliminary agreement to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) to South Africa and secured a Supreme Court ruling in Cuban litigation, while reporting a net income margin of about 5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Like ExxonMobil, Chevron ( CVX +0.27% ) primarily generates revenue from the exploration, extraction, pipeline transportation, and refining of crude oil and natural gas, as well as the production of industrial bulk petrochemicals. Chevron recently signed a power agreement with Microsoft ( MSFT +3.58% ) in Texas and posted an earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), or operating margin, of 7% EBIT margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Revenue here refers to the data provider's standardized income-statement revenue line item, and it serves as a critical foundational metric that shows individual investors the gross amount of money a business generates from its daily core operations before deducting operating costs, administrative expenses, or taxes.
