Time out on the Medical-Legal one-upsmanship, please. Looks like a good morning for oil. From CBS MarketWatch: 8:32am 04/23/01 Exxon Mobil tops Wall Street's estimate (XOM) By Julie Rannazzisi Dow stock Exxon Mobil [s:xom] registered a first-quarter profit from operations of $5.05 billion, or $1.44 a share, a 51 percent increase from the same quarter last year. The result topped the First Call/Thomson Financial estimate of $1.35 a share. Including net merger effects, net income was $5 billion, or $1.43 per share, a 44 percent increase from last year's quarter. Revenue in the first quarter totaled $57.3 billion vs. the $54.08 billion in the same time in 2000. The Irving, Texas-based behemoth said the record first-quarter results reflected higher natural gas realizations and refining margins as well as continued improvements in operating efficiencies across the corporation. Volumes increased in every business line except for natural gas, Exxon Mobil said. Shares closed up 0.9 percent to $85.17 on Friday.
