Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) heads into Friday’s (Dec. 26, 2025) market open with its stock trading near recent highs—but with several fast-moving headlines in the background, from Russia-related legacy assets to a potentially major Iraq deal, plus a fresh long-term growth plan that’s reshaping the company’s investment narrative.

With U.S. markets closed for the Christmas holiday on December 25, 2025, the utilities sector enters 2026 under intense scrutiny from investors, regulators, and consumers. Electricity bills are rising, grid operators are sounding
