Research cutoff: September 13, 2026. Dollar amounts are USD per common share unless stated otherwise. This guide separates declared payments, calculations and unannounced future decisions.
ExxonMobil’s verified quarterly dividend is $1.03. Three declared 2026 payments total $3.09 per share. The July 2026 reorganization exchanged existing shares one-for-one into ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation; it was not a share-multiplying bonus or forward split.
XOM’s verified calendar-2026 cash payments
The January filing, first-quarter release and second-quarter release establish the following distributions. Each payable date precedes the September 13 cutoff. An investor’s actual credited amount still depends on eligibility, holdings, fees and withholding.

| Record date | Payable date | Per share |
|---|---|---|
| February 12, 2026 | March 10, 2026 | $1.03 |
| May 15, 2026 | June 10, 2026 | $1.03 |
| August 17, 2026 | September 10, 2026 | $1.03 |
The total is $309 gross for 100 shares eligible for all three. Four unchanged payments would equal $4.12 per share, but this guide does not treat an unannounced fourth calendar-2026 payment as confirmed. The annualized figure and the three-payment ledger answer different questions.
The July 2026 share exchange was one-for-one
The reorganization filing states that each outstanding original common share was exchanged for one share of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation, preserving the same number and percentage of shares. The successor continued with the XOM ticker. Legal-entity continuity needs to be tracked correctly when joining old and new investor records.
A one-for-one exchange is not a 2-for-1 split and does not create an extra share per share held. The filing’s delisting language concerns replacement of the former listed entity by the successor; it should not be presented as the disappearance of the XOM investment. No additional 2026 or 2027 split ratio or bonus distribution is verified here.
Dividend scenarios for calendar 2027
On a small screen, swipe the table horizontally. Keyboard users can focus the table region and use the arrow keys.
| Assumptions | Annual per share | 100 eligible shares |
|---|---|---|
| Four × $1.03 | $4.12 | $412 |
| Four × hypothetical $1.08 | $4.32 | $432 |
| Two × $1.03 plus two × $1.08 | $4.22 | $422 |
| Four × hypothetical $0.90 | $3.60 | $360 |
The alternative rates are assumptions without probabilities. A company can change its distribution based on future conditions; none of these rows is a guaranteed floor. Dates must come from actual declarations, not an automatic copy of March, June, September and December patterns.
Coverage should survive more than one commodity price
Our ExxonMobil framework evaluates upstream production, refining and chemical economics separately. Higher oil prices can support one part of an integrated business while changing feedstock costs and demand elsewhere. A single commodity forecast cannot fully explain the cash available for shareholders.
Compare operating cash after capital investment across a range of prices and margins. Major projects can require spending long before first production, while mature assets need maintenance. Asset sales and working-capital releases may improve one period’s cash without establishing a recurring dividend base. Check the source of cash rather than assuming all inflows are equivalent.
Dividend and repurchase plans also differ in flexibility. A buyback target can depend on market conditions and is not a cash entitlement attached to every share. Evaluate total capital allocation alongside debt obligations and investment requirements. A long payment history provides context but does not remove commodity or execution risk.
An explicit income example
At a hypothetical $150 share price, $4.12 divided by $150 gives approximately 2.75% indicated yield. This is not a live quote or a fair-value estimate. A decline in the stock price can raise the displayed yield while reducing the investor’s capital value. Income and price outcomes should therefore be assessed together.

No. The filing describes a one-for-one exchange preserving each holder’s share number and percentage.
Is $4.12 confirmed for 2027?
No. It assumes four future installments at the currently verified rate.
