On paper, a company that just turned 141 years old and increased its net income from $10.7 billion in 2024 to $21.9 billion in 2025 may not seem like a likely sell candidate.
That argument gets even harder to make when considering that its stock is up nearly 12% this year, its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple is 12.88, its net profit margin is more than 17%, and it's operating at a beta of 0.39—making it nearly 61% less volatile than the broad market.
