Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) is down 11% year to date and I see many headlines discussing how the stock is extremely cheap and a bargain. I’ll first discuss why is the stock dropping, analyse the company and then give you my view on the risk and reward of investing in XOM. 
Global production was down 3% 
Q4 2017 earnings came in at $0.88 which missed expectations by $0.15
The revenue miss was $7.7 billion on $66 billion of actual revenue. 
Cash flows disappointed and increased CAPEX spending is also something Wall Street doesn’t like. 




Long term perspective
Let’s put XOM in a long term investing perspective and go beyond the next few quarters that Wall Street usually focuses on.  
Is the dividend sustainable and what is the disruptor.
