ExxonMobil Stock Surge Outshines Market Over Past Five Years
ExxonMobil shareholders have witnessed a remarkable turnaround. After a decade of stagnation, the stock has surged 246% since August 2020, turning a $1,000 investment into $3,460 today. The rebound coincides with oil prices climbing from pandemic lows of $20 per barrel to current levels above $60.

This performance starkly contrasts with the broader market, though the article cuts off before revealing comparative benchmarks. Geopolitical tensions and production costs continue influencing crude prices, creating volatility that Exxon has capitalized on.
