Market Sentiment Analysis

Equity markets finished higher last week, but bearish volumes have increased. The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 25 basis points as expected. Still, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell cautioned that the December outlook remains uncertain and that further interest rate cuts are far from guaranteed amid fresh inflation worries. Optimism about thawing Sino-US relations and hopes that AI names like AMD and Palantir, which lead a busy earnings calendar this week, are driving futures higher in early morning off-hours trading Mobil Fundamental Analysis

Exxon Mobil is an oil and gas company, the seventh-largest US company by revenue, the thirteenth-largest globally, and the largest investor-owned oil company in the world.

So, why am I bullish on XOM after its earnings report?

Despite depressed oil prices, Exxon Mobil reported earnings of $7.5 billion, or $1.76 per share, and cash flow of $14.8 billion. I remain bullish on XOM due to its record-setting production in Guyana and the Permian Basin. Yellowtail, the fourth Guyana development, was delivered 4 months early and under budget, adding 700,000 barrels per day to production. The use of proprietary technologies boosted well recoveries by up to 20%, adding 1.7 million barrels to its Permian Basin production.
