re: XOM Stock

Yeah since 2008 or so including the div its return is single digits. I do see some tail wind that might beat the markets through 2028. Probably safe hold for a few years but it’s still a commodity business where national oil companies will continue to take market share leveraging the service companies vs public companies.

Current value means nothing to my cost basis except what my DRIP is buying on dividend payment date.
Might want to send the dividend elsewhere if you feel the share price has reached its short term peak.

I inherited some shares of it a long time ago. It’s split twice and we’ve sold some but only to stay balanced.
My great uncle was an attorney for Esso which then became Exxon. He and his wife had no children and a shitload of Exxon stock. Think that it was part of their bonus program?? He died in 1976 and she in 1993.
I was blessed to inherit some and will always keep at least the same amount I inherited.
Pretty similar story. I inherited some XOM stock from my grandfather who worked there for 40 years or so. I sometimes forget about it because it's in a one-off account that I rarely check. I just set it to reinvest the dividends and might look at it twice per year.

That’s what I was thinking. Regardless of whether cost basis or current value is the convention for calculating “yield,” you could make a better dividend in lots of other places with a claimed lower “yield.”

It is continuing to increase. I wonder if Darren Wood’s cautious comments on investing in Venezuela has increased confidence in the stock and contributing to the run up.

The stock market can be so strange at times. Like I mentioned earlier, why is XOM at an all time high ($133) when oil is sitting around $60? Don't worry, be happy, I guess.

I have a friend that is in management at Exxon and he said there are 8 stages in making fuel and they make money at every stage and sell an absurd amount of byproducts during the way. They have mastered the process and make money no matter what is going on with oil prices

Because they have reduced the number of employees significantly over last 5 yrs. The other oil companies are following now.

They would historically split their stock as it creeped up. It looks like it's been over 20 years since they did this, though. I wonder if there is any current consideration of doing so.

Crude dropped 2% today and XOM hit $147. We might get another good dividend hike for the fourth quarter of 2026 if the stock price remains at all time highs. It was raised 4% last year.

With the way it's been going, I certainly hope so. That said, I don't think it's in the cards for now as they have been pushing buybacks since at least 2024.

Hopefully you didn’t sell yet.
