Exxon Mobil's stock price has experienced fluctuations in the past six months, closing at $107.80 on June 30, 2025, a 7.12% increase over the past 30 days but down 4.85% from July 1, 2024. Key events include the Q4 2024 and 1Q 2025 earnings calls, a low-carbon ammonia deal with Marubeni, participation in several conferences, the divestiture of European assets, the 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting, a mini-tender offer recommendation, Imperial Oil's share buyback, and the US Supreme Court denying Exxon Mobil's appeal of a $14.25 million penalty for air pollution.

Demand for Exxon Mobil's products is influenced by seasonal weather patterns affecting energy demand for heating and cooling. The company's Q1 2025 earnings considerations noted the impact of these seasonal demand patterns. Higher demand for heating fuels occurs in colder months, while transportation fuel demand increases during warmer travel seasons.
