Record-breakingoil production by ExxonMobil in the last quarter of a century.
ExxonMobil's Strong Q2 Performance Fails to Boost Stock Price
In a surprising turn of events, ExxonMobil's impressive Q2 results, including record production of 4.6 million barrels per day and a new quarterly high in sales volumes of high-value products in its chemicals business, have failed to significantly boost the company's stock price.
The stock, currently trading at $112.60, has remained relatively unchanged, with a minimal increase of 0.8%. This stability may be due to the market already pricing in these positive results or reacting to other external factors such as broader market sentiment, oil price fluctuations, or concerns about future growth and regulatory environments.
Despite the lack of immediate investor enthusiasm, ExxonMobil's long-term prospects remain promising. The company is ahead of schedule on its 2030 cost-cutting plan and expects ten major projects to boost earnings by over $3 billion by 2026, with six of these projects already underway.
The stock's chart remains weak, with indicators being sideways, a tight range, and a weak trend. However, a close above the 200-day moving average of $111.12, which has been a technical resistance, with higher volume could be a potential buy signal. On the other hand, a drop below this double support provided by the 100-day moving average ($109.14) and the 50-day moving average ($108.99) could lead to a return to the $105-$108 range.
Investors should keep an eye on the $85 exit mark (€97) set by AKTIONÄR. A breakout requires impulses, such as economic data or rising oil prices, which could potentially trigger a significant shift in the stock's trajectory.
CEO Darren Woods described the second quarter as operationally excellent, reaffirming the company's plan to buy back $20 billion in shares this year. Despite the current holding pattern, the potential for future growth and ExxonMobil's strong operational performance make it an interesting prospect for long-term investors.
