Valuing Exxon Mobil stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Exxon Mobil's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Exxon Mobil's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 61x. In other words, Exxon Mobil shares trade at around 61x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Exxon Mobil's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.4849. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Exxon Mobil's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Exxon Mobil's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$16.6 billion (£12 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Exxon Mobil's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

There are currently 47.5 million Exxon Mobil shares held short by investors – that's known as Exxon Mobil's "short interest". This figure is 7.5% up from 44.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Exxon Mobil shares can be evaluated.
Exxon Mobil's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Exxon Mobil shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Exxon Mobil shares traded daily (recently around 29.3 million). Exxon Mobil's SIR currently stands at 1.62. In other words for every 100,000 Exxon Mobil shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1620 shares are currently held short.
However Exxon Mobil's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Exxon Mobil shares, or, against the total number of tradable Exxon Mobil shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Exxon Mobil's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Exxon Mobil shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0112% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Exxon Mobil shares, roughly 11 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Exxon Mobil.

We're not expecting Exxon Mobil to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Exxon Mobil's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 19 July 2001. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Exxon Mobil shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Exxon Mobil shares which in turn could have impacted Exxon Mobil's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Exxon Mobil's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$27.8112 up to US$57.96. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Exxon Mobil's is 1.3783. This would suggest that Exxon Mobil's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
