Probability
63%

Brent crude rose to USD 88.10/barrel on 17 July (+4.59%) due to escalating Iran-US military conflict. Q2 average price likely ~USD 85–87/barrel, well above Q2 2025 (~74 USD). This drives material XOM upstream outperformance vs. consensus. Pioneer merger synergies (~USD 1.5B/yr) and firm refining margins add further support. Adjusted EPS consensus is ~USD 3.60–3.76; in strongly rising oil price phases, XOM historically beats consensus in ~65–70% of cases. No specific Polymarket market for XOM earnings.

  • Trading Economics / ICE: Brent Rohöl 88,10 USD/Barrel am 17. Juli 2026, +4,59 % auf Tagessicht

Verdict: Miss
ExxonMobil meldete für Q2 2026 einen bereinigten EPS von 3,52 USD – und verfehlte damit den Konsensus (Zacks: 3,68 USD; Vorhersage: ~3,60 USD) um ca. 4,3 %. Die Vorhersage, dass XOM den Konsens übertreffen würde, trat nicht ein. Als Hauptursachen nannten Analysten höhere Kosten durch geplante Wartungsarbeiten sowie gestiegene Abschreibungen durch jüngste Investitionen. Auf der Umsatzseite gab es dagegen eine klare Übertreffung (116 Mrd. USD vs. Konsens 95,8 Mrd. USD).
