Exxon Mobil's shares dropped in premarket trading after adjusted earnings of $3.52 per share missed LSEG's forecast of $3.60, despite reporting its strongest quarterly profit in four years. The company prioritized balance sheet strengthening, reducing net debt by $7 billion, which closely aligned with the $7.84 billion remaining after shareholder distributions. While high oil prices bolstered financial strength and adjusted earnings increased significantly quarter-over-quarter, production declined, partly due to Middle East disruptions, leading to investor scrutiny and a slight share price drop.
