Image: Chevron’s shares have been choppy during the past few years. 

During the second quarter, Chevron returned $6 billion in cash to shareholders, including $3 billion for each of dividends and share repurchases, and more than $50 billion during the past two years. The second quarter marked the ninth straight quarter of over $5 billion cash returned to shareholders. Chevron ended June with $4 billion in cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $23.2 billion. Through the first six months of the year, traditional free cash flow, as measured by cash flow from operations less all capex, was $5 billion, shy of the $6 billion it paid as dividends over the same time period. We prefer ExxonMobil, which has much better dividend coverage than Chevron.
