Over the five-year period from 2020 to 2024, Chevron’s financial performance shows notable volatility amid significant recovery from a challenging 2020. In 2020, revenue was approximately $94.7 billion with a gross profit of $44.2 billion and a net loss of $5.5 billion. This performance likely reflects the downturn in energy demand during the early pandemic phases. In 2021, revenue experienced a robust increase to $162.5 billion—an approximate 72% jump—which was accompanied by an improved gross profit of $73.1 billion and a turnaround to a net income of $15.6 billion. The recovery continued into 2022 when revenue surged by roughly 52% to $246.3 billion and net income more than doubled to $35.5 billion, indicating strong market conditions and possibly higher energy prices as global economies began to rebound. However, the trends shifted in 2023 and 2024. In 2023, revenue declined to about $200.9 billion—an 18% drop from 2022—and net income also decreased to $21.4 billion. Although revenue in 2024 saw a marginal increase to $202.8 billion, net income fell further to $17.7 billion, representing a significant swing of over 20% in profitability year over year. The consistent reporting of zero operating income across the period suggests potential anomalies or differences in reporting practices, limiting deeper operational analysis. Overall, while Chevron demonstrated a strong recovery post-2020, the declines in 2023 and 2024 raise concerns about near-term sustainability and margin pressures, underscoring the need for careful monitoring in an industry sensitive to fluctuating market conditions and external economic factors.
