Exxon Mobil Lifts Q2 Output and Cash Returns, Agrees to Acquire Superior Graphite Assets

Analysts see Exxon's cash strength supporting a sustainable dividend.

Overview

  • The company reported Q2 2025 earnings of $7.1 billion with production at 4.6 million barrels per day, its highest second-quarter level in 25 years.
  • Management attributed part of the volume increase to the integration of Pioneer Natural Resources following its acquisition.
  • Exxon returned $9.2 billion to shareholders in the quarter through dividends and share repurchases.
  • On September 9, Exxon announced an agreement to acquire Superior Graphite’s technology and U.S. assets to enter synthetic graphite for EV battery anodes.
  • Recent analyst coverage describes the shares as reasonably priced with strong liquidity supporting dividend longevity, while noting headwinds from weak oil prices and tariffs.
