As of 2026-06-12, applying a 24.0x earnings multiple to Exxon Mobil Corporation's (XOM) earnings per share of $6.05 yields a fair value estimate of $190.87 per share, versus a market price of $147.01.
Fair value from earnings multiples is sensitive to the multiple you choose. Across the sensitivity grid the estimate spans $157.33 to $229.05. This is a relative estimate anchored to earnings, not a statement of fact. For a cash flow based view, see the intrinsic value estimate on the DCF page.
How our PE model works · Recalculate in PE mode · XOM intrinsic value (DCF view)
At $147.01, XOM trades about 23.0% below its PE-based fair value estimate, a modest discount to its earnings power, though not enough for us to call it cheap outright.
COMPETITIVE MOAT
↑Integrated Value Chain
ExxonMobil's upstream, midstream, and downstream integration provides significant operational efficiencies and cost advantages. This allows them to capture value across the entire oil and gas lifecycle.
↑Scale and Global Reach
Their immense size and extensive global infrastructure enable economies of scale in exploration, production, and refining. This global presence also diversifies geographic risk.
↑Technological Prowess
ExxonMobil invests heavily in advanced technologies for exploration and production, leading to more efficient resource extraction. This technological edge helps them access and develop challenging reserves.
INVESTMENT RISKS
↓Energy Transition Headwinds
The global shift towards renewable energy sources poses a long-term threat to demand for fossil fuels. Regulatory pressures and changing consumer preferences could impact profitability.
↓Commodity Price Volatility
Oil and gas prices are inherently volatile, influenced by geopolitical events and supply/demand dynamics. Significant price drops can severely impact revenue and earnings.
↓Environmental and Regulatory Scrutiny
Increasing environmental regulations and potential litigation related to climate change present significant operational and financial risks. Compliance costs and reputational damage are key concerns.

The trailing twelve-month PE ratio of XOM reflects how much investors pay per dollar of Exxon Mobil Corporation's earnings. This metric is most useful when compared to Oil & Gas Integrated peers and the company's own historical range.
XOM's PE of 24.3x combined with a PEG ratio of -1.11 provides a growth-adjusted perspective. XOM has negative earnings, so its PE and PEG ratios are not meaningful here and cannot tell you whether the stock is over or undervalued. Keep in mind that PE-based valuation works best for profitable, mature companies — for high-growth or cyclical Oil & Gas Integrated, a DCF analysis may be more appropriate.
To value Exxon Mobil Corporation using PE: (1) Compare the current PE (24.3x) against the Oil & Gas Integrated median to assess relative pricing, (2) check the PEG ratio (-1.11) to adjust for growth expectations, (3) review the 5-year PE range to identify where the stock sits historically, and (4) estimate fair value by multiplying a target PE by forward EPS estimates. This relative approach complements DCF's absolute valuation.
XOM's PEG ratio is -1.11, calculated by dividing the PE ratio (24.3x) by the expected earnings growth rate. Because XOM has negative earnings, its PEG ratio is not meaningful and should not be read as a sign of under or overvaluation. Note that PEG accuracy depends on the reliability of growth estimates.
PE ratio gives a quick relative read — how XOM is priced versus Oil & Gas Integrated peers. DCF provides an absolute value based on projected free cash flows. For the most reliable valuation, use PE as a quick comparability screen and DCF for a deeper fundamental analysis. Each method has blind spots: PE ignores capital structure and cash flow quality, while DCF is sensitive to growth and discount rate assumptions.
P/E and DCF value XOM with different methods and assumptions, so the two conclusions can differ. Compare the DCF intrinsic value.
