ExxonMobil's Profits Plunge Amidst Oil Price Decline

ExxonMobil's second-quarter profit fell 56% from a year earlier due to lower oil and natural gas prices, resulting in earnings below Wall Street expectations. The company earned $7.9 billion, or $1.94 a share, while analysts had forecasted $2.01 a share. Revenue also dropped 27% to $80.8 billion. However, recent increases in oil and gas prices may provide some relief, with the national average gas price reaching an eight-month high of $3.73 a gallon.
