Investors love the company for its stable, high dividends. In the spring of last year, the yield on the company’s securities was about 8% per year, which is a very good indicator for the American roar. At the moment, the forward dividend yield is 6%, which is also quite a good indicator. It is also worth noting that the company is a dividend aristocrat, that is, it pays dividends quarterly and increases them for quite a long time.

However, it is worth taking into account that ExxonMobil has a fairly high break-even threshold. According to analysts, the company can make a profit only if the price of oil starts at $ 50 per barrel. Which, of course, is a serious risk for investors.

Thus, ExxonMobil is a mature company that generates stable cash flow for its shareholders. However, the company’s marginality leaves much to be desired, because the company’s business can be seriously affected due to prolonged crises that will lead to a decrease in the price of oil.
