ExxonMobil stock heads toward October results after strong Q2
Published on 10/06/2026 at 17:31 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSExxonMobil stock is heading toward its October results after the company reported USD 14.5 billion in GAAP earnings for Q2 2026. ExxonMobil also generated USD 23.6 billion in operating cash flow during the quarter, according to ExxonMobil in its investor materials.
Revenue rises 44 percent
Q2 revenue reached USD 114.5 billion, up 44 percent from USD 79.5 billion in Q2 2025, while net income excluding extra items increased from USD 7.1 billion to USD 14.5 billion. These figures were reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and show that higher energy prices and operating performance amplified the comparison with the prior-year period.
The latest quarter also included USD 6.8 billion in cash capital expenditures and more than 1.8 million oil-equivalent barrels per day of Permian production, according to ExxonMobil. The operating cash figure matters because it gives the company room to fund projects and shareholder distributions across changing commodity conditions.
