Friday's Big-Energy Reports

Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) is expected to report on Friday, October 30, 2026, with consensus earnings per share of USD 3.96 on one earnings calendar page. Chevron (NYSE:CVX) has a consensus of USD 4.78. AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) is at USD 3.76. Regeneron (NASDAQ:REGN) is at USD 13.76. Shell (NYSE:SHEL) reports today, October 29, with a consensus of USD 3.25, which gives an early read-through. All figures are unverified and no revenue or production expectations were retrieved. Results were not out when this was written. Brent and WTI conflicts of up to USD 5 between sources mean any single price should be treated as approximate. Consensus EPS for each of these four names comes from the same calendar page and is unverified.

Oil Near USD 110 and What Drives It

Published market data conflict on the exact prices. Brent settled at USD 115.32 on October 28 against Thursday quotes of USD 110.3 to USD 110.7, and WTI at USD 102.78 against USD 101.4 to USD 101.6. Either way, Brent is about USD 40 above its level before the Iran war began in late February. Oil fell 1.2% to 1.3% on Thursday on a reported new US-Iran proposal trading IAEA inspections for sanctions relief. Producers such as Exxon (NYSE:XOM) earn more per barrel when prices rise, but realized prices lag spot, and refining margins and costs also move results. The prices explain why the group is closely watched, even though results are not yet known.

Risks and What to Watch Next

The main risk is a sharp oil reversal on diplomacy, which could cut earnings expectations quickly. Energy was the day's third-best sector on October 28, up 0.35%, while Federal Reserve officials cite energy as an inflation risk. The Fed held at 3.75% to 4.00%, and December hike odds are near 81% to 85%. September PCE inflation lands at 7:30 a.m. ET today. Watch Shell today, the Iran reply that Qatar awaits, and Exxon (NYSE:XOM) commentary on production, capital spending and shareholder returns once the company release is out on Friday. These risks mean consensus figures, which come from one page, could shift before the releases.

Where Things Stand

Exxon (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron report with oil near USD 110 because the Iran war began in late February and has kept Brent about USD 40 higher, which makes the Friday results the first full read on earnings at those prices. The evidence is limited to unverified consensus figures and conflicting oil quotes. The next catalysts are Shell today, any Iran response reported on Thursday, and the Exxon and Chevron releases on Friday morning.
