XOM Exxon Mobil Corporation
Exxon Mobil Corporation scores well across yield, structure, and size — a typical strong-safety profile.
Why we rate it 8.0
- Yield of 2.75% is in the typical sustainable zone (2-4%)
- Payout ratio of 68% is on the higher side — leaves less buffer for earnings volatility
- Current yield is below the 5-year average (3.75%), often a sign that price has appreciated faster than dividend growth
- Mega-cap scale (>$200B) — market dominance reduces dividend pressure
