Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) on Decifer

Why it ranks here

• Its returns on invested money are modest, around 6% and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is not growing right now and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a thin share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• And it returns cash to shareholders.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.

The current read

The evidence on XOM points in two directions at once: options activity is unusually heavy with positioning leaning toward downside, while fresh news: Exxon Earnings, Chevron Earnings Face Steep Expectations: A Triple-Digit Profit Spurt.
