SEC filings
83
Stake 80,963 reported shares ≈ 0.0% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 4/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction Sold 595,271 shares ($116.2M) — more than a tenth of the stake — in the last year -10/15
Discipline 2 late Form 4s in 83 filings 7/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

On the record with shareholders

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 2026 Jul 31, 2026 Wirth's argument was that a quarter this good should be read as execution, not as weather. Brent averaged $104 and earnings nearly quintupled sequentially, but he spent his time on the things that survive a lower price: a U.S. production record and record refinery throughput, a $3 billion structural cost target hit six months early, $1.5 billion of Hess synergies delivered a year after closing at 50% above the original goal, and $8 billion of debt retired in three months. On growth he refused the obvious answer — asked twice whether the Permian goes back to growth, he said it could, then explained why it will not, because the lesson of the last decade was that these assets exist to produce free cash flow. Instead he laid out three buckets of optionality — assets in hand, new exploration entries, and 'special situations' in Venezuela, Iraq and the Tengiz concession — and called it the deepest opportunity set of his tenure. The one genuinely new business, a 2.67-gigawatt behind-the-meter power deal with Microsoft, he framed the same way: not a one-off, but a repeatable model, and one Chevron will only repeat at its return threshold.
