Exxon Mobil (XOM) has received mixed reviews from experts, reflecting a range of perspectives on its performance and market positioning. While some view it as a top pick due to strong management and robust capital allocation leading to high return potential and generous dividends, others express concerns about its valuation compared to competitors like Chevron. Several analysts highlight the external challenges facing the oil market, including political pressures, fluctuating oil prices, and the possibility of continued decreases in demand amid an economic slowdown. Despite some doubts, many believe that XOM remains a solid long-term investment, primarily due to its financial stability and ongoing strategies like share buybacks and capital spending on promising projects. Overall, opinions vary, but the general sentiment remains cautiously optimistic for XOM's future growth, particularly if oil prices rise in the coming years.

Consensus
Cautiously Optimistic
Valuation
Fair Value
BUY

He's bullish energy and this is the must-buy. Scale will matter and XOM can spread its costs over a wide base.

DON'T BUY

It reports Friday. He won't buy any oils, because these companies could cave to Trump's demands of drilling like mad. He thinks they will stay disciplined.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 12/23, Up 17%)

Amazing capital allocators. Only problem is that political leaders think oil usage is obsolete. A must-own.

DON'T BUY

Is overvalued vs. Chevron. Don't own any oil stocks, because of their high PE which limits their yields.

DON'T BUY
XOM vs. CNQ

Oil price is low, OPEC is extending cuts. Expectations of a slower economy impacts demand. May also see challenges if Trump encourages oil production. The challenges are showing up in the oil stocks. 

CNQ chart shows a breakdown, negative profile. He'd hold off for both. Next seasonally strong time is February, perhaps late January. At that time, he'd prefer CNQ.

BUY
US energy name for exposure to data centres?

His firm is doing some research on nuclear power and electricity generators. Hasn't pulled the trigger yet. Likes the idea of data centres driving change in electricity demand. 

This name is about 2/3 oil production, and 1/3 natural gas. Also 13-14 refineries well-placed in the US and elsewhere. Chemical products business. New management has improved margins. Will benefit from Trump trade. Timely entry point.

BUY

Exxon is up 17% this year vs. Chevron in the negative. Pick your spots in oil. XOM is a winner.

TOP PICK

Very strong management team. Proven resources with excellent capital allocation skills. Investors can get returns without going downmarket into riskier name. Oil industry under valued with lots of opportunity for price appreciation. Balance sheet very stable, great option for the investors in the long term. Return of capital to investors is being expedited along with capital spending on new projects (best of both worlds). 

BUY

He likes that they are downstream in the capex cycle.

BUY

The cash flow of integrated energy companies like this allow rising yields and share buybacks.

BUY

Is hitting a new high today because oil prices are high. XOM's earnings are down this year, because those prices are down. He can't say that oil prices are definitely rising, but OPEC sees demand rising through 2050. There's a lot of room for prices to go higher.

TRADE

It is the best oil company in the world and pays a dividend so is good for the long term. Crude is not near its highs and could go to $80 or $85. The options are very cheap so he would be buying calls.

BUY

Nice valuation. Likes LNG exposure.

BUY

A solid performer. Oil aren't getting phased out, but are cash flow juggernauts. XOM generated $17 billion of free cash in the first half of 2024 despite buying a company. Are buying back shares and pay a dividend of 3.3%. Natural gas prices are still depressed, but demand and prices will increase globally as we recover from high interest rates. Europe will buy LNG because it won't buy Russian oil.

BUY

Owns Chevron instead, but both companies are nearly the same. Pays a good 4% dividend, backed by strong cash flow. An excellent company.
