Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 45 days.
The thesis — published December 9, 2025
Exxon is a big, stable energy company where investors are quietly buying on dips. Recent signals show short-term buying interest near recent lows. Management plans to double Permian production by 2030 while cutting low carbon spending by about one third, which should boost near-term cash and share buybacks but raises long-term transition uncertainty.
Primary drivers
- Buyers are building positions on pullbacks, suggesting interest near lows.
- Doubling Permian output adds visible production and cash flow.
- Shift to more hydrocarbons and lower low carbon spend favors near-term profits.
- Strong cash supports dividends and buybacks for three month upside.
