Exxon Mobil (XOM) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Exxon Mobil (XOM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Exxon Mobil is expected to continue facing challenges in its downstream and chemical operations, which may result in lower earnings momentum in the near future. However, the company's strong growth profile and potential for improved profitability in key projects, such as the Permian and Liza, provide upside potential. Upside risks also include better-than-expected global oil and gas prices. On the other hand, downside risks include weakness in pricing, potential delays or budget overruns in major projects, and the company's exposure to political risk in unstable regions. Overall, the stock's current valuation is seen as fair, with the downside scenario projecting a $150 price target.
Bears say
Exxon Mobil is facing negative pressures on all fronts, from a full outage in the Middle East operations to lower refinery utilization and weaker chemicals earnings internationally. This is reflected in a lowered EPS for 2026, with minimal change in 2027/28. Additionally, there are risks to achieving the $180 price target due to potential weaknesses in oil prices, failure to meet cost savings targets, and potential delays or cost overruns in major projects. The bright spots for Exxon Mobil's future outlook are its size and industry presence, but even in the upside scenario of $100/bbl Brent in 2026, the expected FCF for the first quarter is only $4.8B, implying limited short-term financial upside and a more balanced risk-reward.
