As of 2026-10-07, applying a 20.9x earnings multiple to Exxonmobil Holdings Corporation's (XOM) earnings per share of $7.85 yields a fair value estimate of $123.31 per share, versus a market price of $164.06.
Fair value from earnings multiples is sensitive to the multiple you choose. Across the sensitivity grid the estimate spans $100.23 to $150.01. 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 the PE model works · Recalculate in PE mode · XOM intrinsic value (DCF view)
At $164.06, XOM trades above its PE-based fair value estimate, meaning the market pays a premium over the applied earnings multiple. By this model the stock looks expensive unless earnings grow into the price.

The trailing twelve-month PE ratio of XOM reflects how much investors pay per dollar of Exxonmobil Holdings 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 21.1x combined with a PEG ratio of 2.07 provides a growth-adjusted perspective. A PEG above 2.0 means the P/E is high relative to the earnings growth rate. 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 Exxonmobil Holdings Corporation using PE: (1) Compare the current PE (21.1x) against the Oil & Gas Integrated median to assess relative pricing, (2) check the PEG ratio (2.07) 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 2.07, calculated by dividing the PE ratio (21.1x) by the expected earnings growth rate. A PEG above 2.0 means the P/E is high relative to the expected earnings growth rate. 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.
