Darren Woods, Chairman and CEO of Exxon Mobil, says this about the XOM stock earnings report.

Growth in demand for the products that underpin our businesses remains strong. We remain focused on improving our base businesses, driving efficiencies, and optimizing the value of our investment portfolio.”
