Summary · why it matters

Exxon Mobil rose about 2.1% to $160.03 on Monday as Brent crude surpassed $90 per barrel, but the company was excluded from President Donald Trump's Tuesday meeting with refiners amid rising gasoline prices above $4 per gallon. The exclusion follows CEO Darren Woods' January comment that Venezuela remains uninvestable, prompting Trump to signal Exxon could be shut out of the country while Chevron, Marathon Petroleum, and Valero attend the meeting. The talks will cover refining capacity, biofuel mandates, and fuel-shipping costs, with Exxon absent. Exxon generated $17.2 billion in free cash flow in its latest quarter, but its stock trades 26.54% above its GF Value estimate of $126.47, indicating a hot valuation and thin margin for disappointment.
