Valued at a market cap of $490.1 billion, Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) is a global energy leader with a diversified portfolio across upstream, downstream, chemical, and specialty product segments, supported by a robust dividend history and industry-leading capital discipline. It combines traditional oil and gas expertise with emerging lower-emission business opportunities to deliver long-term value. The Spring, Texas-based company is expected to announce its fiscal Q4 earnings results before the market opens on Friday, Jan. 31.
Ahead of this event, analysts expect the oil giant to report a profit of $1.63 per share, down 34.3% from $2.48 per share in the previous year's quarter. The company has surpassed Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in three of the past four quarters while missing on another occasion. In the most recent quarter, XOM exceeded the consensus EPS estimate by a slight margin.
