Exxon Mobil Earnings Up - Again
Thursday 4.26.07 9:22 a.m.
IRVING, TEXAS (AP) Oil giant Exxon Nobil says it earned $9.3 billion dollars in the first three months of the year.
That is up ten percent from a year ago. Earnings of $1.62 a share came in ten cents a share above analyst forecasts.
Higher refining, marketing and chemical margins were offset somewhat by lower crude oil and natural gas prices.
Exxon Mobil's revenue fell slightly to more than $87 billion. Oil companies have seen results hurt by lower oil and natural gas prices compared with levels a year ago.
Last year, the Texas-based company posted the largest annual profit ever by a US firm.


I think about this poor company's troubles every time I stop at a gas station.
