The investment bank also increased Chevron Corp.'s (CVX) 2010 EPS estimates to $8.75 from $8.15, but reduced its 2009 EPS estimates for the San Ramon, Calf.-based company to $4.90 from $5.05. Chevron will report 4Q profits Jan. 29 but it will release an interim earnings update Jan. 11. Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) will post quarterly earnings Feb. 1.
