On January 30, 2026, ExxonMobil, the world's second-largest oil giant, officially released its financial report for the fourth quarter. Due to the downward trend in international oil prices, the company's revenue performance was slightly weak, recording a total income of $82.3 billion, a slight decrease of 1% compared to the same period last year. In terms of net profit, the figure was $6.5 billion, with a year-on-year reduction of 14%, and the net profit margin for the quarter was set at 7.9%.

Looking back at the entire year's performance, ExxonMobil achieved a cumulative net profit of $28.8 billion, equivalent to approximately 201.6 billion yuan. It is worth noting that the company has about 60,000 employees worldwide. Based on this calculation, its per capita efficiency is quite impressive, with each employee contributing a net profit of $480,000 per year, equivalent to 3.36 million yuan.

To provide a more intuitive reflection of this data, we turn our attention to China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), the largest oil company in China. CNPC's annual net profit is 165 billion yuan, but its workforce is even larger, reaching 370,000 employees. After calculation, CNPC's per capita net profit is 440,000 yuan. In comparison, ExxonMobil's per capita profitability is 7.6 times that of CNPC.

From a historical perspective, ExxonMobil is also an important component of the S&P 500 index, with its founding year dating back to 1882, making it 144 years old today. Currently, the market value of this old energy giant remains around $600 billion, holding the 14th position in the list of corporate market values in the United States.
