$70 Billion: How Much Exxon Mobil Will Shrink In 2020
Per EIA’s short term energy outlook, the global crude oil demand is likely to grow during the latter half of the year and benchmark crude oil prices (WTI) are expected to remain under $40 per barrel. Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM), one of the largest integrated oil & gas companies in the world, would lose $70 billion in annual revenues from lower production and weak commodity prices as highlighted in our interactive dashboard about Exxon Mobil’s Revenues. Despite the expected revenues declines, the company announced a dividend of $0.87 per share for the second quarter. While the company raised $12 billion in debt to improve liquidity, it is targeting a 15% reduction in operating expenditures along with a 30% lower capex in 2020 to preserve shareholder value.
