Exxon Mobil Stock is a High-Yield Transformation Story

In the past two months, there’s been a rotation in the market from growth stocks to value stocks. For dividend value stock investors, Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) stock offers investors a great dividend yield, an excellent source of cash flow and a potential long-term earnings multiple expansion opportunity. XOM stock, so far flat for the month of November, is only 6% above its 52-week low.

To be sure, 10 years is a long way to look down the line. But thinking XOM stock is dead in the water because the oil business is in secular decline is one-dimensional thinking. Exxon stock is cheap, it has a solid balance sheet, near-term cash flow growth opportunities and a world-class 5% dividend yield. It may not be a top performer in your portfolio. But XOM stock is a solid, low-risk source of dividend income with near-term risk to the upside.
