NextEra reached a value of $138.6 billion in the market, surpassing the oil company Exxon Mobil, another American multinational, which at the same time was valued at $137.9 billion.
Exxon is the most valuable oil company in the world. This is the first time this has happened. By the end of the week, ExxonMobil’s value was back at the top, but if trends are any indication, this position will be temporary.

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.
