XOM stock is up over 33% year-to-date (YTD) and 40% over the past year. Yet regular InvestorPlace.com readers are familiar how challenging 2020 was for many oil names like Exxon.
In the initial months of the pandemic, cash flows struggled. Exxon faced sluggish demand and lower commodity prices.
The stagnant oil market led to the removal of XOM stock from the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), but developments in 2021 have meant an improvement in our economy. Now, the demand for oil and natural gas are higher. As a result, XOM stock has had a strong run-up in price and trades shy of $55.
