中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯1月30日消息,去年第四财季雪佛龙公司同比扭亏为盈,因该公司在严峻的定价环境中大幅削减费用。然而公司的盈利明显逊于预期。
雪佛龙公司CEO John Watson表示,业绩反映了去年较低的油气价格。
该公司调高2016年股息,为连续第29年调高股息。该公司把第四财季股息调高1美分,至1.08美元,增幅0.9%。
去年第四财季,该公司实现利润4.15亿美元,合每股收益22美分,上年同期出现亏损5.88亿美元,每股亏损31美分。汤森路透调查的分析师预计每股收益64美分。但收入增长7.7%,至315亿美元,高于分析师预计的303亿美元。

Chevron Swings to a Profit
By Anne Steele
Chevron Corp. swung to a profit in the latest quarter as the company slashed expenses amid a tough pricing environment. Still, earnings came in sharply below estimates.
Chief Executive John Watson said results reflect the low oil and gas prices during the year.
Accordingly, the company increased its 2016 annual dividend payout for the 29th consecutive year. The company raised its dividend payment for the fourth quarter by a penny, or 0.9%, to $1.08.
In all for the December period, Chevron reported a profit of $415 million, or 22 cents a share, compared with a loss of $588 million, or 31 cents a share, the year before, and well below the 64 cents analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were looking for.
But revenue climbed 7.7% to $31.5 billion, topping analyst estimates for $30.3 billion.
