Exxon Mobil Shows Earnings Strong with High Oil and Low Oil Prices
Published:
Last Updated:
The oil giant said that the profit outside of items was “only” $8.4 billion in the quarter. Today’s headlines were boosted by a gain of $7.5 billion from divesting activities and also from tax-related items in the report. Operating cash flow was a whopping $10.2 billion.
What is interesting is that the oil giant’s adjusted production was flat in the second quarter. Upstream earnings came in at $8.3 billion and downstream earnings came in $6.65 billion. Exxon spent some $5 billion repurchasing its own shares under its share buyback program.
Exxon Mobil and others were dealt with a plummeting price of oil during the second quarter. The good news for big oil companies, or the bad news for the consumers, is that prices bottomed out in recent weeks.
