About
Stem is a clean energy storage and AI energy management platform that installs commercial and industrial battery storage systems and manages them with Athena, its AI-powered energy optimization software — enabling businesses, utilities, and renewable energy developers to reduce electricity costs through demand charge management, energy arbitrage, and participation in grid services markets. Listed on NYSE (NYSE: STEM) and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Stem generates approximately $200 million in annual revenue and has deployed over 1,000 MW of battery storage assets under management.\n\nStem's AI software platform Athena continuously monitors electricity prices, grid signals, and demand patterns to optimize when battery systems charge (typically during low-price periods or from solar generation) and discharge (during peak demand hours or when grid prices are high). For commercial and industrial customers, Athena minimizes demand charges (the component of utility bills based on peak power consumption) — a significant cost reduction opportunity for manufacturers, hospitals, and commercial real estate operators. For front-of-the-meter solar+storage projects, Athena optimizes dispatch for merchant electricity revenue.\n\nIn 2025, Stem competes in the commercial and industrial energy storage market against Fluence (Siemens-AES joint venture), Tesla Powerpack, Powin, and utility-side storage developers. The market has grown with IRA incentives making battery storage economics more attractive and with energy costs driving commercial interest in demand charge reduction. Stem faces competition from Tesla's integrated solar+storage offerings and from utilities' own storage programs. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing the Athena software-only model (managing third-party batteries not manufactured by Stem), expanding in the utility-scale solar+storage market, and growing internationally in Europe and Asia.

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.
