Exxon Mobil's finances, and what holding XOM would have done
Exxon Mobil's revenue, profit, cash flow and debt from SEC filings, and what holding XOM would have done in the past.
Exxon Mobil (XOM) was the number 17 US company by market value on 5 November 2026, at about $690 billion, on the companiesmarketcap.com ranking. Its figures come from its SEC filings, read on 5 November 2026. A figure a filing lacks is marked as not reported.
What Exxon Mobil sells
Exxon Mobil finds and produces oil and natural gas, refines it into fuels and sells it. It also makes chemicals used in plastics and packaging.
The finances
- Revenue: $332 billion in the year to 31 December 2025 (10-K), down 5.0% from $350 billion. The 12 months to 30 September 2026: $397 billion. Sales shrank.
- Net income: $28.8 billion in the year to 31 December 2025 (10-K), against $33.7 billion a year earlier; net margin 8.7%. The 12 months to 30 September 2026: $40.6 billion. About $9 of every $100 of sales stayed as profit.
- Free cash flow: $23.6 billion in the year to 31 December 2025 (10-K), which is $52.0 billion of operating cash flow minus $28.4 billion of capital spending. The 12 months to 30 September 2026: $43.0 billion. That is the cash left after running and equipping the business.
- Cash and debt: $12.2 billion in cash and $34.3 billion of debt (10-Q, 30 September 2026). It owed more than it held in cash.
- Share count: 4.30 billion average diluted shares in the year to 31 December 2025 (10-K), up 0.2% from 4.30 billion. More shares, often from pay in stock, make each one a smaller slice.
One thing to notice: Profit follows oil and gas prices, which move a lot from year to year: net income was $33.7 billion in 2024 and $28.8 billion in 2025. Exxon moved to a new holding company in 2026, so its filings sit under two SEC registrations, and we joined them.
What holding it would have done
From our free long-term checker, which looks back only:
- Past returns, price only: 1-year +56% (SPY +10%), 3-year +65% (SPY +74%), 5-year +178% (SPY +62%), 10-year +104% (SPY +248%). That 10-year gain is 7.4% a year, against 13.3% for SPY.
- Worst fall: -66.0%, from the close on 13 December 2016 to the low on 23 March 2020 (1,196 days). Getting back to that high took another 791 days, to 23 May 2022. SPY's worst fall was -34.1%.
- How often holding ended higher: 59% of 1-year holds (worst -60%) and 94% of 5-year holds (worst -35%).
- Monthly buying against a lump sum: over the past 10 years, $100 a month ($12,100 in total) would have grown to $26,759. The same money in on day one would have grown to $24,667; in SPY, monthly buying ends at $24,571 and the lump sum at $42,078.
Price only: no dividends, fees or tax. Daily closes, 10 November 2016 to 3 November 2026. SPY is an S&P 500 fund.
What this does and does not tell you
Profit tells you what the business earned. The price history tells you what shareholders were paid for holding it. Those two can drift apart for years, and neither says what comes next.
This is one company over one stretch of history: an in-sample look at the past, not a promise. It is general information, not a call to buy or sell XOM, and it sets no price target.
