Recent changes are ushering in a new era for the Hess Corporation (HES). The company's exit from certain indexes has sparked discourse around the company's investment narrative. A greater shift is seen in the acquisition of Hess Corporation by Chevron, leading to speculation about Chevron's intent and the future of Hess post-acquisition. The acquisition led to Hess's removal from the S&P 500, introducing potential rebalancing opportunities within the energy sector.
In the merger, Chevron appears to leverage Hess as the asset base, with a number of investors buying or increasing their shareholding in Hess. This merger, despite certain disputes, seems a strategic play to gain higher reserves and returns. Post Chevron's acquisition, Hess seems poised to capitalize on its growth opportunities, increase its energy dividends and perform well in upcoming earning seasons.
The energy company seems to straddle two worlds, with an impending release of its final solo earnings and strides into its future as a part of the Chevron conglomerate. Mild controversy surrounds the merger, mainly filed by Exxon- Mobil, but analysts predict the dispute has a limited downside to Hess' stock prices.
