Exxon Mobil Corp.’s stock rose Friday after the oil giant topped analyst estimates for first-quarter profit and grew its production, and as the broad market also advanced.

Exxon Mobil on Friday beat Wall Street's estimate for first-quarter profit as higher oil and gas production from Guyana and the Permian basin helped boost earnings.

Exxon Mobil reported better than expected Q1 earnings, helped by higher production from Guyana and the Permian Basin, but revenues came in flat from the year-earlier quarter at $83.1B.

U.S. Big Oil giants Exxon Mobil and Chevron said May 2 they will steadfastly maintain their spending and stock buyback ranges in the face of tariff uncertainty and lower oil prices—despite reporting declining quarterly earnings year over year.

Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. are likely to shoulder more of the Permian Basin’s oil growth as independent producers cut back due to falling crude prices.

Chevron said net income fell by just over a third to $3.5bn in the first quarter, down from $5.5bn a year earlier, and slightly below analysts’ consensus estimates. Revenues fell to $47.6bn, down from $48.7bn a year earlier, as its global production remained flat.
