Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), the US-based integrated oil and gas company, is expected to release its June quarter 2016 financial results on 29th July 2016. [1] We anticipate a plunge in the oil major’s revenue as well as earnings due to the ongoing oil slump, partly offset by the sudden recovery in oil prices over the last three months.

Since crude oil prices grew more than 35% over the last three months due to production disruptions in Canada, Nigeria, and Venezuela, we expect the company to report better price realizations for its upstream operations in the second quarter. However, the commodity prices were still significantly lower than the same quarter last year. Thus, we expect to see a notable decline in the company’s revenue as well as earnings.
