ExxonMobil: Growth Is Working, But the Price Now Demands Proof

Summary
Q2 adjusted earnings reached $14.7 Bn, adjusted EPS was $3.52, operating cash flow was $23.6 Bn, and free cash flow was $17.2 Bn.
Execution strengthened the operating thesis: Permian production exceeded 1.8 MMboed, the fifth Guyana FPSO remained on track for Q4 2026, and structural savings reached $16.3 Bn.
My 2027 model produces $409 Bn of revenue and $11.55 of EPS, slightly above the $11.08 consensus EPS forecast but below the earnings pace implied by unusually supportive Q2 markets.
On December 12th, we will be bringing together investors and long-term thinkers at Fairmont Mt. Kenya Safari Club, Nanyuki for the Annual Henriot Capital Investor’s Summit. A full day of research, markets, meaningful conversations and shared experiences, built around one idea: long-term wealth conversations for future generations. Request an invitation below.
