Key Metrics
Powered by EODHDP/E (TTM)
20.5
P/E (Price-to-Earnings)Shows how much investors pay for each $1 of profit. We display the TTM P/E (Trailing Twelve Months) which uses actual earnings from the last 4 quarters. This is more reliable than Forward P/E which uses analyst estimates.
Net Debt/EBITDA (TTM)
0.4x
Latest quarter: 1.1x
Net Debt / EBITDAA leverage ratio showing how many years of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) it would take to repay net debt. EBITDA approximates operating cash generation. Lower ratios (e.g., <3x) are generally safer; higher (e.g., >5x) may indicate more financial risk.
Latest quarter (2026-06-30): 1.1x
The quarterly value can spike when quarterly EBITDA is very low (e.g., one-time charges).
Quick guide: <2x manageable, >4x can be risky (sector-dependent).
ROE
12.6%
ROE (Return on Equity)A profitability measure: how much profit is generated from shareholders’ equity. Higher isn’t always better if it comes from high debt.
EV/EBITDA
9.1x
EV/EBITDAA valuation ratio that compares total business value (including debt) to EBITDA. Lower can mean cheaper, but context matters.
Dividend Summary
Powered by EODHDDividend Yield (Fwd)
2.99%
TTM: 2.57%
Dividend YieldThe Forward yield (Fwd) shows the next announced annual dividend / current price — what you'd earn going forward. The Trailing yield (TTM) in the tooltip shows dividends actually paid in the last 12 months. Forward is shown as primary because it reflects the company's current commitment to shareholders.
Forward Yield (estimated): 2.99%
Trailing Yield (TTM, last 12 months): 2.57%
Payout Ratio (Fwd)
49.8% TTM
Payout RatioDividends as a percentage of earnings. The Forward payout (Fwd) uses the announced dividend divided by actual past earnings (TTM) — it tells you if the company can afford what it promised. Very high payouts can be risky, especially if profits fall.

Summary
Exxon Mobil is a well-managed integrated energy leader generating massive cash flows and sporting a pristine balance sheet. However, the permanent structural shift away from fossil fuels and systemic climate/plastics litigation create long-term execution risks that are unsuitable for a conservative dividend growth strategy. With the stock trading at an elevated 20.54x trailing P/E and offering a modest 2.57% yield, it is not recommended for new positions at this time.
Sector Context
Exxon Mobil operates in the highly cyclical Integrated Oil & Gas sector. While the business generates massive cash flows during commodity upcycles, the sector carries a DGI strategy penalty due to its non-essential nature in a decarbonizing world, structural cyclicality, and the long-term threat of stranded assets.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Pristine balance sheet with Net Debt/EBITDA at a very low 0.44x and solid free cash flow generation of $17.02B.
- • Strong shareholder capital return program, boasting a total shareholder yield of 5.65% (driven by a 3.08% net buyback yield and 2.57% dividend yield).
- • Successfully resolved a major decade-long federal securities class action lawsuit with a complete defense verdict, eliminating one specific legal overhang.
⚠ What to Watch
- • Current valuation remains elevated for a highly cyclical energy major, trading at a 20.54x trailing P/E.
- • The trailing dividend yield of 2.57% is relatively uncompelling for an income-focused entry point, especially given historical sector norms.
- • Long-term structural risks persist, including state-level climate/plastics litigation and the threat of stranded assets driven by global decarbonization mandates.
