Exxon Mobil (XOM) stock ticks up as filing flags up to $1.2 bln Q4 upstream hit
Exxon Mobil shares rose 0.6% to $123.63 after warning lower crude prices may cut Q4 upstream earnings by $800 million to $1.2 billion, partly offset by stronger refining margins. Chevron gained 1.4% as oil prices climbed on supply concerns. Exxon also signed a memorandum with Turkey’s TPAO for exploration in the Black Sea and Mediterranean. Investors await Exxon’s Q4 results on Jan. 30.
