AI Overview

What happened: On March 17, Mizuho analyst Nitin Kumar raised Exxon Mobil Corporation's (NYSE:XOM) price target to $162 from $140, maintaining a Neutral rating, citing higher oil price forecasts. Separately, Jim Cramer expressed a preference for Chevron over Exxon on CNBC, stating Chevron is more forward-looking.

Market impact: The energy sector, particularly integrated oil majors like Exxon and Chevron, is affected. Higher oil price forecasts drive valuation repricing, benefiting these companies. Mizuho's price target increase for Exxon reflects this, while Cramer's commentary influences investor sentiment.

What to watch next: Exxon's Q1 2023 earnings, scheduled for April 28, will provide insights into the company's operational performance and guidance. Additionally, OPEC+'s next meeting on June 4 will be crucial for monitoring oil production policies and their impact on prices.
