Price ChangeN/A
- ExxonMobil has achieved $10 billion of its planned $15 billion in cost savings, contributing to an expected $12 billion increase in earnings potential by 2027.
- ExxonMobil's strong balance sheet, with net debt to capital down to about 3%, provides flexibility to invest and return cash to shareholders, differentiating the company from peers.
- Continued operational success and growth in Guyana, including new project approvals like Whiptail and new discoveries like Bluefin, support future growth and value creation.
- ExxonMobil's Chemical business is facing bottom-of-cycle conditions with depressed margins due to oversupply, which are expected to persist for some time.
- The investment environment in Europe is challenging, with additional taxes, expanded disclosure requirements, and non-technology-agnostic regulations making European investments less attractive for ExxonMobil.
- ExxonMobil's efforts in direct air capture technology face significant challenges, as current costs are between $600 and $1,000 per ton of CO₂ removed; even halving these costs won't be sufficient, and they aim to reach approximately $100 per ton, which is a tough goal.
