Oil Major Chevron Slips as Profit Falls Despite Hess Deal Closure

Chevron Corporation [CVX] delivered a mixed quarter as low crude prices and a one-time hit from its recent Hess acquisition weighed on net income. The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.77 per share, narrowly topping the $1.70 consensus. Revenue reached $44.82 billion, also above forecasts.

But the headline net income figure told a different story: profit dropped 44% to $2.49 billion, or $1.45 per share, hurt by a $215 million loss tied to the fair value of Hess shares. Despite this, the company’s upstream unit remained solid, producing 3.4 million barrels per day globally, a 3% increase year over year.

U.S. production saw an 8% jump, with the Permian Basin alone hitting 1 million bpd. Chevron’s refining division also helped offset weakness, earning $737 million in Q2, up 23% from a year ago, thanks to stronger margins.

The $53 billion Hess deal closed on July 18 following a lengthy dispute with Exxon Mobil over Guyana rights. With the arbitration resolved in Chevron’s favor, management now expects the deal to contribute to earnings starting Q4. They’ve also targeted $1 billion in cost synergies by year-end 2025.

Chevron’s reliable dividend, strong buybacks, and long-term positioning in Guyana and the Gulf of Mexico give it staying power, but the stock’s muted response reflects investor caution around commodity price pressure.

This quarter may not ignite a rally, but with Hess now in the fold, the next few earnings reports could tell a different story.

Mortgage Platform Rocket Companies Posts Modest Beat but Stronger Outlook, Shares Lift Higher

Rocket Companies Inc. [RKT] reported Q2 earnings that modestly beat expectations, while delivering a much stronger revenue forecast for Q3. The company posted EPS of $0.04, just $0.01 above the Street’s estimate, on revenue of $1.36 billion, which topped the $1.28 billion consensus.

What’s getting investors talking, though, is the forward guidance. Rocket sees Q3 revenue coming in between $1.60 and $1.75 billion, far ahead of the $1.44 billion analysts were expecting. That outlook suggests improving origination trends and greater confidence in a recovery across the mortgage and fintech landscape.

The stock climbed over 3% in premarket trading, adding to its 17% gain over the last three months. However, the setup isn’t without risks. Despite the beat, Rocket saw 11 negative EPS revisions in the past quarter and is still down nearly 4% over the last 12 months.

Analysts remain mixed, financial health is rated “fair” by most screeners, and the company still trades at an elevated forward P/E near 900, reflecting investor sensitivity to execution and margin pressures.

Still, if Rocket can maintain momentum into the seasonally stronger back half of the year, the setup may be shifting in its favor. The revenue beat and bullish Q3 guide suggest the worst could be behind it, and upside surprises may become the new trend.

Reddit Surges After Smashing Revenue and EPS Forecasts

Reddit Inc. [RDDT] is riding a wave of investor enthusiasm after posting a breakout quarter that exceeded even the most optimistic estimates. For the period ending June 30, the company reported adjusted earnings of $0.45 per share, well above the $0.19 consensus and a dramatic improvement from last year’s $0.06 loss.

Revenue came in at $499.6 million, up 77.7% year-over-year and handily beating Wall Street’s $426 million target. The company also posted net income of $89.3 million and showed strong traction in both user monetization and advertiser demand, contributing to the upside surprise.

Reddit’s strong quarter builds on recent momentum. It has now posted four consecutive beats and is beginning to shed its post-IPO volatility. Analysts have taken notice, as earnings forecasts have jumped 67% in the last 90 days with no downward revisions. Of the 26 analysts covering the stock, 17 now rate it a buy or strong buy.

Shares soared around 15% in premarket trading, putting Reddit on track for its best single-session move since its debut. The company’s 12-month median price target sits just above yesterday’s close, but those numbers may be revised higher following this result.

With engagement trends solid and monetization improving, Reddit is entering the second half of 2025 with more momentum than it’s had since going public. Traders looking for social media exposure beyond the mega-caps now have a fresh reason to click "buy."

Movers and Shakers

CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc [CCCS] – Last Close: $9.67

CCC Intelligent Solutions delivers AI-powered tools to insurers, automakers, and repair shops. The firm reported a strong Q2 with EPS and revenue beating consensus, driven by 12% year-over-year growth and continued expansion of its automation platform.

Shares are up nearly 16% in premarket trading following the beat. Despite a dip in claim volumes, the company reaffirmed guidance and executed a $100 million share repurchase program, signaling confidence in its strategy and cash position.

My Take: CCCS looks like a sleeper AI play in insurance tech. The earnings strength and continued margin discipline suggest further upside if volumes recover in the second half.

Coinbase Global Inc [COIN] – Last Close: $377.76

Coinbase operates one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges and recently missed Q2 estimates as transaction volumes declined. While revenue came in at $1.5 billion, it fell short of expectations and dragged shares down.

The stock is down about 11% premarket as traders digest weak transaction revenue, which fell 39% quarter-over-quarter. However, stablecoin revenue rose 12%, and new products like an “everything exchange” and tokenized asset platform suggest potential rebound catalysts.

My Take: COIN is under pressure now, but Q3 could show a turnaround if market volatility picks up and new services gain traction.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc [REGN] – Last Close: $545.46

Regeneron is a leading biotech focused on eye disease, oncology, and inflammation. The company posted 12% non-GAAP EPS growth in Q2 alongside major FDA approvals and strong Dupixent and Eylea performance.

Shares were up more than 5% premarket but are now down about 2%, following broad-based strength across the product portfolio and a confident outlook. Analysts from JPMorgan, Bernstein, and TD Cowen reiterated bullish targets post-earnings.

My Take: REGN continues to deliver the goods. It’s a rare mix of pipeline momentum, earnings strength, and capital discipline. Still looks underpriced relative to its growth.
