Exxon Mobil's Q4 Earnings Outlook Amid Market Challenges
- Earnings Forecast: Analysts project Exxon Mobil's Q4 EPS at $1.68 with revenues around $82.28 billion, as lower upstream prices may weigh on results, but robust refining and record production in Guyana and the Permian Basin are expected to provide critical earnings support.
