UBS raised the firm’s price target on Exxon Mobil (XOM) to $171 from $145 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Exxon Mobil underperformed Chevron (CVX) despite a 4Q25 earnings beat due to a smaller upside versus expectations, heavier investor positioning, and weaker segment-level results, the analyst says in a research note. Additional pressure came from chemical losses, lower upstream volume guidance, and significant maintenance-related earnings headwinds into 1Q26, the firm adds.
