Information and Stock Price History
Chevron Stock Quote (OCT 31) - $74.60
Chevron recently posted its third
quarter earnings, and lets just say that it's net income soared big time. The
rise in its net income was due to higher oil prices, while caused its profit to
double. Unfortunately, even such a record profit didn't seem to have much of an
effect on its stock price. It could be attributed to the fall in gas prices,
and the volatility of gas prices going up and down.Chevron Stock Basics
