ExxonMobil posted a Q3 profit of $15.4 billion, driven by full Gulf Coast refinery utilization and higher diesel prices. Adjusted earnings per share were $4.23, surpassing Wall Street expectations of $4.08. The company announced a 4% dividend increase to $1.07 per share and reaffirmed a $20 billion share‑repurchase program through 2027. Production averaged 4,496 KBOE per day and revenue reached $110.5 billion, up 32.6% year‑over‑year.

The company said the strong cash flow of $25.7 billion allows it to return $9.4 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, which could support the stock price. The 4% dividend hike and the $20 billion buyback plan signal confidence in earnings durability.
