Analysts' Opinions of Chevron "Longer term, we continue to believe that CVX is best placed to deliver improving returns from its evolving upstream portfolio." - Citigroup -- Smith Barney "Value and profitability: Chevron and BP offer the best value creation and duration mix of the majors....BP still has the highest NPV, but its lead has been eroded while Chevron has seen the greatest transformation." - Goldman Sachs, Top 100 Projects report, Jan. 2005 "CVX has been the leading explorer over the past four years in a world where exploration success is differentiated and valuable." - Deutsche Bank "Looking ahead, we continue to favor CVX's shift in portfolio mix, and critically, what we believe has been another outstanding year for exploration success. In our view, CVX continues to establish an extensive portfolio of longer-term development options through exploration." - Citigroup -- Smith Barney "Recent exploration success is also beginning to position the portfolio for growth in the 2006/7 timeframe, despite flat exploration expenditure. These elements are all contributing to improving returns and should lead to multiple expansion." - Bernstein Research Call
