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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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

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 move would again open domestic oil and fuel shipments to cheaper foreign-flagged vessels, extending an emergency waiver Trump imposed after the Iran war sent crude prices sharply higher in March. 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
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 measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
