Company News
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.
ExxonMobil's 59.2% stock return over the past year outpaced the S&P 500's 20.2%, driven by strategic decisions made before Middle East supply disruptions. The company signalled its direction in Q2 2025 through two downstream start-ups and an early offshore delivery. In Singapore, a new facility converted residue into lubricant base stocks, with 20,000 barrels per day sold out. The UK's Fawley Hydrofiner began producing ultra-low sulfur diesel. Both projects targeted higher-value products rather than betting on scarcity. Offshore, the Yellowtail project in Guyana started four months early and under budget, lifting capacity above 900,000 barrels daily. When the Strait of Hormuz closed in July 2026, removing 3 million barrels daily, diesel and base stocks became scarce—exactly what ExxonMobil had positioned to produce. The company posted $14.5 billion earnings in Q2 2026.
ExxonMobil has gained 4.3% over the past five trading days while the S&P 500 slipped 0.5%. Over five years, the stock's correlation to the index has been just 0.26, indicating largely independent movement. The company annualised 30.2% returns during that period, compared to 13.2% for the index, though with higher volatility at 26.7% versus 17.2%. This independence stems from ExxonMobil's exposure to oil supply and product margins. In the second quarter of 2026, despite losing roughly 10% of upstream production to Middle East conflict, the company earned $14.5 billion and generated $23.6 billion in operational cash flow. Chemical product margins increased approximately 180% versus the first quarter. Over the past year, the stock has exhibited counter-cyclical behaviour, tending to rise when the market falls.
Exxon and Chevron reported combined net income of $26.5 billion for the second quarter. ExxonMobil posted $14.5 billion, more than double its year-ago profit, whilst Chevron reported $12 billion, nearly 400% higher than the previous year. Chevron beat Wall Street earnings estimates by $0.50 per share at $6.06, whilst Exxon missed by $0.08, citing difficulties in its refining business. Both companies exceeded revenue estimates. Higher oil prices driven by the war in the Persian Gulf and closure of the Strait of Hormuz contributed significantly to the results. Chevron's refining profit surged from $737 million to $4.9 billion year-over-year, whilst Exxon's refining profits of $4.1 billion fell short of the $5.37 billion analysts expected. Chevron is the only major oil company operating in Venezuela, potentially benefiting from access to the world's largest oil reserves.
ExxonMobil stock has surged 56% over the past twelve months, more than doubling the S&P 500's performance, but now sits 6% below its 52-week high. The company's operational strength is driving growth, with its Guyana project recovering capital investment nearly two years ahead of schedule and Permian basin production hitting record levels of over 1.8 million oil equivalent barrels per day. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 20.4 and price-to-sales of 1.8, both below S&P 500 medians. However, operating margin stands at 10.7%, under the index median of 18.4%. Management highlighted geopolitical risks, particularly around key shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz, noting "disruption is inevitable" despite the company's diversified portfolio.
