What Could The Next 10 Years Bring?

Exxon Mobil has a consensus rating of "Overweight" and a price target of $128.59 based on the ratings of 24 analysts. The price target implies nearly 10% potential upside from the current stock price.

The company on Oct. 31 announced its Q3 2025 earnings, posting adjusted EPS of $1.88, beating the consensus estimate of $1.82, while revenues of $85.29 billion came in below the consensus of $87.70 billion, as reported by Benzinga.

"We delivered the highest earnings per share we’ve had compared to other quarters in a similar oil-price environment. In Guyana, we broke records with quarterly production surpassing 700,000 barrels per day, and started up the Yellowtail development four months early and under budget. In the Permian, we also set another production record of nearly 1.7 million oil-equivalent barrels per day, while continuing to expand the use of proprietary technologies like our lightweight proppant that improves well recoveries by up to 20%," said CEO Darren Woods.

Given the historical stock price appreciation and expected upside potential, growth-focused investors may find Exxon Mobil stock attractive. Furthermore, they can benefit from the company's solid dividend yield of 3.52% and consistent hikes. Exxon Mobil has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 43 years.
