Why XOM today

Exxon Mobil rose about 1.7% on Friday after its Q3 report. Adjusted earnings were $4.23 a share (GAAP $3.72), above estimates of roughly $3.90 to $4.12, with Energy Products earnings up on higher refining margins and 100% crude unit utilization at its U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. Operating cash flow was $25.7 billion and free cash flow was $19.1 billion, and net debt fell to $22.1 billion, nearly $11 billion lower year to date. Exxon declared a $1.07 quarterly dividend and set 2027 share repurchases at $20 billion, assuming reasonable market conditions.

  • Price ($186.42) sits above its 21 EMA ($176.60), 50 EMA ($169.37), 100 EMA ($162.39) and 200-day average (about $152.93), and traded to a new 52-week high of $188.50 today.
  • Q3 adjusted EPS of $4.23 beat estimates of roughly $3.90 to $4.12 (GAAP $3.72). Free cash flow was $19.1B and net debt fell to $22.1B, nearly $11B lower year to date.

  • Breadth is weak: NYSE decliners lead about 1.9 to 1 (1,438 vs 750) and Nasdaq about 3.6 to 1 (2,467 vs 687), so XOM is rising against the tape. About 62% of S&P 500 stocks are above their 50-day average and 59% above their 200-day.

Our read: Bullish (Overbought)

The reading is bullish but stretched. Price is above its 21, 50 and 100 EMAs and its 200-day average (near $153) and set a new 52-week high of $188.50 today, with the chart's MACD above its signal. RSI is 72.2, which is overbought, price sits about 4% above the $179.41 average analyst target (17 of 26 analysts rate it Hold), and the broad market is weak, with decliners leading on both exchanges, so XOM is rising against the tape. Against that, the Q3 report beat estimates, free cash flow was $19.1 billion, net debt fell and Exxon set a $20 billion buyback for 2027. The forward P/E is about 13 and option premium is cheap (HV Rank 26.1%). The levels to watch are today's low near $184.68 and the 21 EMA near $176.60 on the downside, and today's high near $188.50 on the upside.
