How Did This Happen?
The fall of ExxonMobil is, more than anything, a function of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Although the company’s performance in the decade preceding 2020 had been somewhat lackluster, it was still valued at just over $300 billion when the year began.
Nine months later, that value is $140 billion as the company faces a decline in energy demand caused by the pandemic.
