Company News
Exxon Mobil fell 0.8% to $163.24 on Wednesday despite Brent crude surging towards $95.18 amid renewed US-Iran tensions. The stock trades 28.86% above its estimated value of $126.68, signalling potential overvaluation. The energy giant reported strong second-quarter results with $14.5 billion in earnings, $23.6 billion in operating cash flow, and $17.2 billion in free cash flow. The company returned $9.4 billion to shareholders during the period. President Donald Trump suggested Exxon would return to Venezuela, according to Reuters. However, the company has announced no formal investment deal. Sanctions, contracts, infrastructure, and legal protections remain unresolved nearly two decades after nationalisation forced Exxon's exit from the country.
ExxonMobil has joined bidders for Shell's US chemicals division, which includes four plants in Louisiana, Texas, and Pennsylvania and could fetch around $8 billion. Shell is selling assets that recently contributed to its quarterly earnings as part of ongoing portfolio reshaping. The potential acquisition would expand ExxonMobil's US chemicals presence but does not materially alter its near-term focus on execution in the Permian Basin and Guyana. The move comes after ExxonMobil posted record production and revenue in the second quarter, though adjusted earnings missed expectations. Analysts project ExxonMobil revenues of $369.2 billion and earnings of $46.2 billion by 2029, requiring 4.2% annual revenue growth. Some optimistic forecasts reach $507 billion in revenues and $55 billion in earnings.
ExxonMobil has stopped highlighting return on capital employed in its earnings reports. The company reported $14.5 billion in second-quarter 2026 earnings but omitted the return metric that appeared alongside financial results two years ago, when management cited a 13% return on capital employed for 2024. The company now emphasises earnings levels and cumulative structural cost savings of $16.3 billion since 2019. Cash capital expenditures ran roughly $7 billion in the second quarter. The Guyana venture recovered its $55 billion investment nearly two years ahead of schedule, with its fifth production vessel on track for start-up by end-2026. Permian volumes reached a record above 1.8 million oil-equivalent barrels daily. Revenue over the past twelve months hit $361 billion, up 9.6% year over year, whilst the trailing operating margin fell to 10.7% from a three-year average of 11.7%.
ExxonMobil stock trades at $160.64, up 48.5% over the past year, but faces significant risk if global supply disruptions end. The company's strong performance stems from roughly 3 million barrels per day of Middle East capacity offline, reduced Chinese refining exports, and disrupted Russian capacity. ExxonMobil's Gulf Coast refineries set second-quarter diesel production records, whilst chemical margins ran 180% above first quarter levels. Year-over-year revenue growth reached 44.1% in the second quarter. Management expects disruptions to eventually normalise, though timing remains uncertain. A reopening would restore 10% of ExxonMobil's upstream production but eliminate the favourable pricing environment driving current downstream profits. The company has achieved $16.3 billion in structural cost savings since 2019. Shares trade at 79% of their ten-year price-to-sales range, appearing expensive relative to historical norms.
US President Donald Trump has accused oil companies of price gouging and called for a Department of Justice review as oil prices rise amid Middle East geopolitical tensions. Major oil companies have reported strong earnings in the first half of 2026. Shell's earnings more than doubled to $2.94 per share from $1.40, whilst revenues rose 22%. Chevron saw earnings surge to $7.23 per share from $3.46, with revenues up 28%. ExxonMobil's earnings increased roughly 66% to $5.60 per share, with revenues up around 22%. The companies operate in commodity markets where prices are determined by market forces rather than individual firms, contradicting price-gouging allegations despite consumer and political concerns about rising fuel costs.
