Exxon Mobil shares came under pressure as investors weighed fresh U.S. strikes in Iran and rising Middle East tensions, which raised fears of potential disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and added to market uncertainty. The geopolitical risk rattled sentiment in energy markets despite a more supportive backdrop for crude prices.
In response, both BofA and Citi lifted their price targets on Exxon Mobil, arguing that higher near‑term crude estimates and stronger valuation support now favor global energy stocks. However, the banks kept their ratings at Neutral, signaling they see limited upside from current levels despite the raised targets.
