Exxon Mobil and Chevron reported quarterly results on Friday.
Exxon and Chevron lost billions in Q1 due to hedges that backfired after attacks on Iran.
KEY POINTS
- Both companies cannot realize gains from hedges until physical oil delivery resumes through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Exxon's Q1 production dropped to 4.6 million barrels per day from 5 million last quarter.
- Chevron's adjusted profit beat expectations at $1.41 per share despite a $360 million legal reserve loss.
- Strait of Hormuz closure since late February has choked off 20% of global oil supply.
