ExxonMobil shares tumbled after the company missed on earnings and revenue Friday. The stock is down more than 5%, hovering just above $84 a share.
The company reported earnings of $1.04 per share on revenue of $66.52 billion, missing the $1.07 and $74.44 billion that Wall Street was expecting. The earnings miss was just the fourth for Exxon in the last 16 quarters, according to Bloomberg data.
