Shares of the oil and natural gas company have appreciated by 6.92% over the course of the past month, outperforming the Oils-Energy sector's gain of 3.92%, and the S&P 500's gain of 4.27%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Exxon Mobil in its forthcoming earnings report. The company's earnings per share (EPS) are projected to be $1.41, reflecting a 34.11% decrease from the same quarter last year.

For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $6.3 per share and revenue of $329.42 billion, which would represent changes of -19.13% and -5.77%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also take note of any recent adjustments to analyst estimates for Exxon Mobil. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the business outlook.
Empirical research indicates that these revisions in estimates have a direct correlation with impending stock price performance. To capitalize on this, we've crafted the Zacks Rank, a unique model that incorporates these estimate changes and offers a practical rating system.
