CLO Pate R. Hewitt sold 40,200 CVX shares for $8.6M on 2026-03-30, reducing holdings by 82.3%
Pate R. Hewitt, Chief Legal Officer of Chevron Corp, executed a substantial open-market sale of 40,200 shares at $213.30 on 2026-03-30, leaving him with only 8,638 shares post-transaction. This represents a -82.3% reduction of his pre-transaction holdings, signaling a dramatic shift in his equity stake. The sale occurred within a context of strong recent stock performance: CVX traded at $197.41 currently (6.5% below the 52-week high of $211.15), and has risen 4.1% in the past 30 days and 29.5% in the past 90 days. His prior trades at CVX (5 within the measurable history) show mixed near-term outcomes on the sell side: the most recent prior sale on 2026-03-06 has no measurable outcome yet, while four earlier March sales posted 30-day returns of +4.0% to +12.8%. The timing pattern across these earlier sells offers limited foresight—no 90-day outcomes are yet measurable for any prior CVX trades. The company's fundamentals show strength in absolute terms (revenue $49.7B, net income $3.5B), but a concerning annual revenue decline of -6.8% and an elevated P/E of 53.21 warrant investor attention to whether operational headwinds justify the CLO's substantial de-risking of his personal equity position.
