What the company does
ExxonMobil is the largest private oil and gas company: oil and gas production (Permian, Guyana), refining, fuel retail (Exxon/Mobil/Esso) and chemicals. Its money comes from selling oil, gas, fuels and chemical products.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

No data
Figures from the company's filings (2026-06-30), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $720.32B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 15.3% of total assets (2026-06-30). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
