jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images XOM stock: FQ1 earnings meets Middle East war I last covered Exxon Mobil Corporation ( XOM ) on February 24 with an article titled “Exxon Mobil: Prepare For A Potential $90 Oil Price Scenario.” The article reviewed the company’s FQ4 earnings report (ER) and explained the key catalysts that could push oil prices much higher (and oil prices were around $66 at that time). Since then, a few new developments have emerged around XOM and largely obsoleted my earlier thesis. To start, the war with Iran has pushed oil prices—currently hovering around $99 as of this writing—to be above my projections already. Secondly, the war in the Middle East has also materially impacted XOM’s production capacity by up to 6%, as detailed in the following news release. Such a notable change in production, which is one of the parameters in my previous analysis, also calls for a reassessment. Third, the company is also scheduled to release its FQ1 2026 earnings report (ER) on April 10. Seeking Alpha News: Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) said Wednesday that disruptions to its assets in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will reduce its global oil-equivalent production by 6% in Q1 compared to the previous quarter, as the Iran war paralyzed much of the Persian Gulf energy industry. Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) said its upstream assets in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, which account for ~20% of the company's global oil-equivalent barrels of production, were impacted by production disruptions beginning in early March. Finally, as a response to the above developments, XOM shares have demonstrated a significant volatility increase since my last writing, both in terms of their HV (historical volatility) and also IV (implied volatility) in the option market. Actually, the volatilities behind these shares have reached unusual levels in my model. For example, the next chart shows the 30-day rolling HV for Exxon, illustrating a significant surge in the p...

Gregory Shamus/Getty Images News The Local Authority Pension Fund Forum, a group representing U.K. pension funds, said Thursday it has joined other shareholders in saying it will vote against Chair Albert Manifold's re-election and other board-supported resolutions at the company's annual general meeting later this month. LAPFF, whose members taken together would be equivalent to a top-5 shareholder according to LSEG data, said its recommendation was the result of concerns about "transparency and robust governance." A shareholder resolution calls on BP ( BP ) to show that higher spending on fossil fuel production can deliver value for shareholders and was filed earlier this year by U.K. and European pension funds along with activist investor Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility. Earlier this week , shareholder Legal & General said it would vote for the resolution, and proxy advisor Glass Lewis stated its support, saying it "could provide decision-useful information for shareholders." Manifold said the board recommended shareholders vote against the resolution, saying the extra disclosure would duplicate existing reporting by the company. "It would pull the company in the opposite direction to where we want and need to go, which is towards simpler, standardized and comparable reporting," the chair said. "It also cuts across the board's responsibility to decide how to address disclosure for all shareholders."
