ExxonMobil Is Poised for a Major Transformation by 2040
Yahoo Finance ·
Make no mistake: ExxonMobil ( XOM 0.27% ) remains the epitome of "big oil." The energy giant is one of the world's largest integrated oil and gas companies, with exploration projects, refineries, and retail energy operations worldwide. However, while the "green wave" investing trend has lost momentum in recent years, don't assume ExxonMobil has completely abandoned its efforts to capitalize on it. Alongside efforts to maximize the profitability of its legacy business through measures like cost-cutting and a focus on high-return exploration opportunities, ExxonMobil has continued to commit billions to its "clean energy" projects. Although these projects don't contribute much to the bottom line yet, in a little over a decade, they could become a secondary source of profitability for this blue chip dividend stock . ExxonMobil has prioritized maximizing profitability in its legacy business. Why? For starters, the company wants to maintain its dividend growth track record. With 43 years of consecutive annual dividend growth under its belt, it's less than a decade away from becoming one of the Dividend Kings , or companies with over 50 years of consecutive dividend growth.
