Exxon Boosts Quarterly Dividend After Four Fold Increase In Q3 Earnings

Exxon Mobil Corp XOM has posted a Q3 profit of $4.45 per share, a robust increase over $1.58 a year ago versus the consensus of $3.65. But the company's revenue, at $112.07 billion, jumped 52% Y/Y, missing the $115.60 billion analysts were expecting.
Q3 earnings and cash flow from operating activities increased to $19.7 billion and $24.4 billion, respectively, as strong volume performance, including record refining volumes, cost control, and higher natural gas realizations, more than offset lower crude realizations and weaker industry refining margins.
