Exxon Mobil's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 18 July 2001. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 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.

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 13x. In other words, Exxon Mobil shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Exxon Mobil's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 7.0464. 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$71 billion (£56.8 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Exxon Mobil's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Over the last 12 months, Exxon Mobil's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$94.8882 up to US$123.75. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Exxon Mobil's is 0.964. This would suggest that Exxon Mobil's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Dividend payout ratio: 39.08% of net profits
Recently Exxon Mobil has paid out, on average, around 39.08% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.2% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Exxon Mobil shareholders could enjoy a 3.2% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Exxon Mobil's case, that would currently equate to about $3.68 per share.
While Exxon Mobil's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Exxon Mobil may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Exxon Mobil's most recent dividend payout was on 10 March 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 February 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
