ExxonMobil vs H&M (Hennes & Mauritz)

About

ExxonMobil Corporation is a Spring, Texas-based integrated oil, gas, and energy company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: XOM) as an S&P 500 Energy component and one of the world's largest publicly traded companies by market capitalization — exploring, producing, refining, and marketing oil, natural gas, and petroleum products while advancing low-carbon technologies through approximately 62,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024, ExxonMobil reported earnings of $33.7 billion ($7.84 per diluted share), revenue of $339.24 billion, operating cash flow of $55.0 billion, free cash flow of $34.4 billion, and returned $36.0 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. ExxonMobil completed the landmark acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources in May 2024 for approximately $60 billion — the largest acquisition in the company's history since the 1998 Exxon-Mobil merger — making ExxonMobil the dominant operator in the Permian Basin (West Texas/New Mexico), the most productive oil basin in the US with the lowest breakeven production costs globally. The Pioneer acquisition added 1.3 million acres in the Midland Basin, doubling ExxonMobil's Permian production capacity to 1.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2027. CEO Darren Woods has led ExxonMobil since 2017 through the COVID oil price collapse, the industry recovery, and the Pioneer acquisition that repositioned ExxonMobil as the premier Permian Basin operator.
