Diesel at $6.20 a gallon: Marathon leads five energy stocks set to gain

US diesel prices averaged $6.199 a gallon for the week of October 5, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said. That is down from a 2026 peak of $6.529 in late September but more than $2.50 above a year ago. A disruption to Strait of Hormuz shipping earlier this year cut global refined fuel exports. Refiners gain most. Marathon Petroleum's refining margin doubled to $36.33 a barrel in the second quarter, from $17.58 a year earlier. Integrated majors also benefit. Chevron's downstream earnings rose to $4.9 billion from $737 million, while ExxonMobil's refining and fuels earnings reached $4.1 billion, nearly double a year earlier. Pipeline firms Energy Transfer and Enterprise Products Partners earn mostly fees, so they get little direct lift. The EIA expects prices to stay high through October before easing.

Exxon shares rise 2% as refining margins add $4.5B to Q3 estimate

Exxon Mobil shares rose 2% to about $178.04 on Friday after the company said stronger refining margins could add about $4.5 billion to third-quarter results, compared with the prior quarter. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Exxon estimated a net $4.4 billion boost from better product margins. That was partly offset by a $1.3 billion hit from lower oil and liquids prices. The company said it saw no volume losses tied to Middle East events. Goldman Sachs analyst Neil Mehta said the filing implied earnings per share near $4.10. That is above the FactSet consensus of about $3.87, but below Goldman's own estimate of $4.33. Exxon will report full results on October 30. The stock has gained 48% this year.

ExxonMobil shifts focus from Pioneer to Guyana and refining as fuel sales hit $290.3B

ExxonMobil now stresses Guyana and refined fuels over its Pioneer Natural Resources acquisition, which it highlighted on its fiscal Q3 2024 call. The stock trades at 22.2 times earnings, near the S&P 500's 22.5. On its July call, management cited record Permian output of more than 1.8 million oil-equivalent barrels per day and record second-quarter diesel production. Guyana's gross output was about 900,000 barrels per day, and ExxonMobil recovered its capital and costs there nearly two years early. Energy Products brought in $290.3 billion in fiscal 2025, down 6.5%. Upstream earned $101.8 billion, down 1.7%. Energy Products makes up about 23% of business line earnings, up from about 9% five years ago. Risks include fuel margins boosted by a shipping route closure and possible European windfall taxes. Investors should watch Energy Products earnings and the start-up of the fifth Guyana vessel, Errea Wittu, expected by the end of 2026.

ExxonMobil chemical earnings jump to $1.13B from $110M, but can margins last?

ExxonMobil raised chemical earnings from $110 million in the first quarter to $1.13 billion in the second, even as sales volumes fell. It sold 4.47 million tonnes of chemicals in the second quarter, down from 5.36 million in the first. The company credited $980 million of the year-over-year improvement to margins, helped by stronger North American ethane economics and performance chemicals. Industry chemical margins still sat below the bottom of the 2010–2019 benchmark range. Chemicals made up about 8% of group second-quarter earnings. ExxonMobil trades at 15x forward earnings, and analysts expect about 77% adjusted earnings per share growth in fiscal 2026. First-half operating cash flow was $32.26 billion, with $13.00 billion spent on property, plant and equipment.

ExxonMobil's Guyana and Permian surge lifts outlook, but climate lawsuits loom over $373.7B revenue target

ExxonMobil's output from Guyana and the Permian Basin is growing strongly. Its upstream volumes outside the Middle East have reached their highest level in more than two decades. Analysts say the company's valuation has held up and that it can sustain cash generation despite weaker crude price forecasts, climate litigation, and efficiency concerns versus peers. The US Supreme Court will hear Suncor v. Boulder, a climate case involving ExxonMobil, which could shape how far such lawsuits can go. One narrative projects revenue of $373.7 billion and earnings of $45.7 billion by 2029, up from $32.8 billion in earnings now. It puts fair value at $170.91, in line with the current price. The most optimistic analysts see revenue of $509 billion and earnings of $55.2 billion.
