ExxonMobil (XOM) Stock Could Be A Bargain On Cash Flow Despite Rich Earnings

Track your investments for FREE with Simply Wall St, the portfolio command center trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. ExxonMobil Holdings has delivered a very strong run for shareholders over the past five years, yet valuation checks still suggest the stock trades at a discount to its intrinsic value estimate based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach and on earnings multiples. The stock has returned 247.7% over the past five years, which puts current buyers in the position of weighing recent gains against what still screens as a discount to estimated intrinsic value.

BP p.l.c. (BP) vs. Shell plc (SHEL): Two Oil Majors Cash In on the Iran War, But Tell Different Stories

BP p.l.c. (NYSE:BP) and Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) both posted big profit jumps this quarter, mainly due to the same Iran-war-driven surge in oil and gas prices that already drew a public attack from President Trump on Exxon and Chevron for making "too much money." However, the two major European energy companies are telling very different stories underneath that shared huge profit. Why One Company Is Apologizing, and the Other Isn't BP's profit more than doubled as new CEO Meg O'Neill pushes an aggressive turnaround.

This 3 Stock Portfolio Pays Monthly Dividends

While most stocks pay quarterly dividends, investors can still construct a portfolio that allows them to get paid monthly. The first stock pays dividends in January, April, July, and October. The second stock pays out in February, May, August, and November. And finally, the third stock will pay its dividend in March, June, September, and December. So, investors can reap steady monthly paydays with just a little positioning. A combination of Coca-Cola KO, Caterpillar CAT, and Exxon Mobil XOM – shares would provide precisely the blend needed for this portfolio. Caterpillar Powers Data Centers Ca

ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (XOM) vs. Chevron Corporation (CVX): Trump Attacks the Oil Giants for Making “Too Much Money”

On August 3, 2026, President Trump accused ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) of making "too much money" off high fuel prices just three days after both companies reported blowout second-quarter earnings fueled by the ongoing Iran war. Trump told reporters, "Chevron, too much money. ExxonMobil, too much. Too much money," demanding the companies "give some of that back to the public." Why Record Profits Just Became a Political Problem Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX)'s earnings soared nearly 400% to $12 billion, and ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (NYSE:

Exxon’s (XOM) Profit Missed. So Why Is The Dividend Getting Stronger?

ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) reported second-quarter 2026 results on July 31, and the headline number disappointed. Adjusted earnings came in at $3.52 per share, short of the $3.60 analysts expected, even though that figure was up sharply from a year earlier. Reported earnings were $14.5 billion, or $3.48 per share. But the company also generated $23.6 billion in cash from operations and $17.2 billion in free cash flow, enough to fund $9.4 billion in shareholder distributions with room to spare.

Better Buy for Passive Income: Chevron vs. ExxonMobil

It has been a good 2026 so far for many oil companies, with the conflict in the Middle East driving prices higher and lining the pockets of major companies. Big oil companies have traditionally been considered reliable dividend payers, but with the wave of extra cash that they've seen coming in this year, you can bet they'll get more shareholder-friendly. Chevron (NYSE: CVX) and ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), the two largest American oil companies, have long been the standard for big oil dividend payers. But if you're looking for a stock to invest in for passive income, which one is the go-to? For mo

The Market Now Says a Rate HIKE Is Coming. There’s a Dividend Fund Literally Built for This

Quick Read Markets now price 53% odds of a September rate hike, punishing SCHD's bond-proxy tilt while FDRR screens dividend payers for positive yield correlation. FDRR's top three holdings are NVIDIA, Apple, and Alphabet, which together exceed 22% of the portfolio, fueling an 86% five-year return but adding significant growth-stock concentration risk. Directing new contributions to FDRR while leaving existing SCHD lots intact captures the rate hedge without crystallizing embedded capital gains in taxable accounts. Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI s

Oil prices hold steady after jumping 5%, while Asian shares are mixed

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares were mixed in Asia, while oil prices were holding steady Tuesday after jumping the day before as uncertainty persisted over when the Strait of Hormuz could reopen and get the global flow of crude going again. U.S. futures edged higher. Brent crude oil was unchanged at $87.72 a barrel, while U.S. benchmark crude also was flat at $82.13 a barrel. Brent surged 5% on Monday. It swung between $72 and $102 last month as hopes rose and fell that the United States and Iran could reach an agreement that would allow oil tankers to freely exit the Middle East again to deliver crude

Hormuz risk premium: Who wins and loses in the tanker trade

[The tanker] Dikuch/iStock via Getty Images INVESTORS SHOULD KNOW: The Strait of Hormuz remains a live flashpoint for global oil markets, with Iran-Oman shipping talks nearing completion but full reopening still tied to unresolved U.S.-Iran demands. This keeps risk premiums embedded in tanker rates, pipeline economics, and crude logistics across the energy sector. BACKGROUND The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most critical oil chokepoint, with roughly one-fifth of global oil and LNG shipments transiting the waterway.

Can Chevron's Hess Synergies Extend Growth and Lift Cash Flow Further?

Chevron Corporation CVX reaches the one-year anniversary of its Hess acquisition with integration benefits running ahead of plan. Chevron has exceeded its original synergy target, strengthening the case that Hess can contribute more than additional production. The next test is durability. Investors will be watching whether the acquired assets can keep supporting free cash flow, per-share accretion and Chevron's production-growth objectives through 2030.

2 Energy Dividend Stocks to Buy -- and the Risk Behind Each Payout

Dividends and energy can be a complicated mix, given the energy sector's inherent volatility. You need to get a better understanding of a company's business before you buy an energy dividend stock. For most investors, a boring industry giant like ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) will likely be a better pick than an upstream-focused company like Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN), even after Devon's huge 33% dividend hike. But there are still reasons why some might prefer Devon. Devon Energy's dividend increase is probably sustainable To be fair to Devon Energy, the dividend increase it initiated in 2026, raising

Jane explains why Wall Street sees this weaker report as a positive: it likely takes a September rate hike off the table. Jeffrey Snyder, Broadcast Retirement Network Joining me now is Jane King.

Why Trump’s Waiver of the Jones Act Is Unlikely To Lower Gas Prices

U.S. President Donald Trump is weighing another suspension of the Jones Act as gasoline prices above $4 a gallon threaten to become a liability for Republicans heading into the midterm elections.

The problem is that the first waiver barely moved gasoline prices. Shipping costs account for only a small part of what Americans pay at the pump, leaving Trump with limited room to cut prices through mar

How the page works

How to read the score

The score shows direction

It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.

Confidence is separate

Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.

Price is confirmation

Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.

What the page does

It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
