What Wall Street Has Been Saying
🐂 Bullish Takeaways
-
Several firms, including Morgan Stanley, TD Cowen, HSBC and Piper Sandler, have lifted ExxonMobil Holdings price targets into a US$172 to US$185 range, reflecting updated assumptions for oil prices, refining margins and earnings power across Q3 2026 through 2027.
-
Goldman Sachs flagged implied Q3 EPS of about US$4.10 from ExxonMobil’s trading update, above the FactSet consensus near US$3.87. This supports the view that current operations and commodity exposure can still produce earnings ahead of the Street’s base case.
-
RBC Capital highlighted refining as a potential offset to earnings exposure in the Middle East and also pointed to ongoing appetite for acquisitions as ExxonMobil looks to grow its business.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
-
Wells Fargo, BofA, DZ Bank and others have moved to more neutral stances on ExxonMobil, often citing relative valuation. Wells explicitly argues that BP offers more upside on its metrics.
-
Piper Sandler and BofA both describe ExxonMobil shares as closer to fair value on their out year estimates, which suggests less room for multiple expansion if commodity assumptions or execution do not exceed current expectations.
