A Nimble Stock Market Giant

Exxon Mobil is a giant by all stock market measures! Investors are yet to digest the staggering news of the company’s 2005 record profits of over $36 billion, and already it has become apparent that 2006 will end on an even higher note for the corporation. Stock market observers must wonder at the magic wand in the hands of executives who can achieve such staggering numbers!

However, top stock market watchers discount notions of any super-human abilities of the part of Exxon Mobil employees, and credit instead, business processes which keep teams on their toes, warding off threats, and working new opportunities all the time. Exxon Mobil may have the proportions of a dinosaur, but is as agile as a bee, with all of its determination to boot! Exxon Mobil proves that size is not necessarily an impediment to quick response capability.

Technological Prowess Propels Exxon Mobil’s Stock Market Success

The stock market knows that only the Saudis and the Iranians produce more oil than Exxon Mobil. The company must need a large bureaucracy just to maintain daily operations. However, the offices and field operations of this bee-hive of efficiency show none of the lethargy and indecision we may associate with administrative departments. Exxon Mobil is driven by clear goals and the best systems for productivity.

Only stock market analysts with technological orientation can fully appreciate the bases of the competitive strength of Exxon Mobil. The company is able to take unequivocal stands in negotiation with countries with significant reserves of crude. Exxon Mobil can work hidden reserves which other companies and even governments cannot reach. The company has taken a firm stand with respect to Venezuela’s unilateral and abrupt moves on contracts with the company, because the management knows that its engineers can deliver value to the country.

Exxon Mobil’s stock market leadership derives from its ability to deliver results in tough operating conditions. It has even made a success of its offshore operations in Nigeria, unaffected by the most disturbed conditions in that country. Exxon Mobil expects to win exciting rights in Russia, which certainly has vast energy reserves waiting to be tapped with the special expertise that only Exxon Mobil can deliver. Company shares have appreciated by 25% in the first 8 months of 2006.
