What Happened
Pate R. Hewitt, Chief Legal Officer of Chevron Corporation, sold 2,470 shares of Chevron common stock in an open-market/private sale on August 18, 2026, at $205.11 per share, for proceeds of approximately $506,619. This transaction is a sale (which is often routine for insiders) rather than a purchase or option exercise.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-08-18 — sale of 2,470 shares at $205.11 each (total ≈ $506,619).
• Transaction type: Sale (Form 4 code "S"); executed in the open market or private sale according to the filing.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Filing timeliness: Reported on 2026-08-20 — filed within the typical two-business-day Form 4 deadline (timely).
• Notable footnotes from the filing:
  • F1: The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of shares held by his spouse’s trust; this report is not an admission of beneficial ownership of those trust-held shares.
  • F2: Includes acquisition of 81 shares resulting from dividend reinvestment on vested stock units issued under the Chevron 2022 LTIP.
  • F3: Between Mar 31, 2026 and Aug 18, 2026 the reporting person acquired 90 shares under Chevron’s 401(k) plan.
• No 10b5-1 plan, option exercise, award grant, or tax-withholding details were indicated in the excerpt.

Context
This filing documents a straight sale of shares rather than an insider purchase or exercise; purchases and exercises (especially followed by holding) are often viewed as stronger signals of insider confidence. Footnotes show routine payroll/benefit-related acquisitions (dividend reinvestment and 401(k) purchases) and a disclaimer about spouse trust ownership — useful for understanding total beneficial ownership but not evidence of trading intent.
