Posted: February 1, 2008 at 8:19 am

It appears that record oil prices really are paying off for Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM).  The largest company by market cap is reporting that it made some $11.66 Billion in quarterly profits on a whopping $116.64 Billion in quarterly revenues.  This revenue number compares to $90 Billion in Q4-2006.  As far as how this translates into simple shareholder math, Exxon generated $2.13 diluted earnings per share.  First Call had estimates pegged at a $1.95 estimate.

If you looked at Valero’s numbers this week, it looked like the refiners were starting to look safer.

In early pre-market trading, shares of XOM are trading up 1.7% at $87.90.  The 52-week trading range is $69.02 to $95.27.
