Read MoreHide Full Article
For the quarter ended December 2024, Exxon Mobil (XOM - Free Report) reported revenue of $83.43 billion, down 1.1% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $1.67, compared to $2.48 in the year-ago quarter.
The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $87.12 billion, representing a surprise of -4.24%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of +7.74%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $1.55.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.
Here is how Exxon performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
