ExxonMobil Q3 Adjusted Earnings Reach $17.5 Billion, Beating Estimates on Refining

ExxonMobil reported third-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $17.5 billion, or $4.23 per share, beating profit estimates as a war-driven refining surge lifted results, according to Reuters. Free cash flow, the cash left after capital spending, was $19.1 billion. Exxon's earnings figure is adjusted, so it differs from Chevron's headline number.
