Mobil share price saw some selling on the day, despite Q2 2021 earnings of $1.10 per diluted share. This number was a vast improvement from the loss per share of $0.26. It also beat estimates of $0.98 per share, as rising oil prices allowed the company to recover from the pandemic-induced battering that oil stocks took a year before.
However, boardroom disputes over the company’s direction and its decision to use its higher cash flow to pare massive debts sustained during historic pandemic-related losses may have been responsible for the souring of the sentiment around the company stock. Lower oil prices on the day also pressured Mobil’s share price, leading to a drop of 2.17% as of writing.
Mobil Share Price Outlook
The bearish pennant on the daily chart of Exxon Mobil could be the determinant of price action in the near term as we advance. A breakdown of the pennant’s lower border, which is already undergoing an assault from sellers, leads to a leg lower towards 54.38. Below this price mark, 51.86 (18 February low) serves as additional support.
On the flip side, a bounce from the lower border of the pennant (and the 57.86 price mark by extension) allows Mobil share price to target 60.30, with 61.78 and 65.03 (25 June high) serving as targets to the north.
