Prior to today's trading, shares of the oil and natural gas company had gained 5.85% over the past month. This has outpaced the Oils-Energy sector's gain of 2.32% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.35% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from XOM as it approaches its next earnings release. On that day, XOM is projected to report earnings of $0.88 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 19.27%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $69.31 billion, up 1.61% from the year-ago period.
XOM's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $4.07 per share and revenue of $294.36 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -17.44% and +1.43%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for XOM. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
