包括雪佛龙、埃克森美孚和康菲石油在内的世界石油巨头都于近期发布二季度季报。不出所料,由于国际油气价格持续走低,这些公司的季报都一片惨淡。雪佛龙报亏15亿美元,已是连续三个季度亏损,但幅度小于预期;埃克森美孚利润同比减少59%;康菲石油则净亏损10亿美元。持续低迷的业绩,导致一些巨头债务频创新高,增加了外界对其支付股息能力的担忧。 The world’s oil giants, including Chevron, ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips, recently released their second-quarter results. As expected, the quarterly reports of these companies are bleak as international oil and gas prices continue to fall. Chevron reported a loss of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, representing a three-quarter loss for the third quarter in a row, but less than expected. Exxon reported a 59% year-on-year drop in profits, while ConocoPhillips net loss of 1.0 billion U.S. dollars. Continued sluggish performance, led to some giants debts hit a record high, increasing the external worries about their ability to pay dividends.
