Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) shares fell 2.66% to $103.39 on Monday as investors digested mixed first-quarter earnings and fresh pressure on oil prices following an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">OPEC+ supply decision</a>. 
What To Know: Exxon reported $83.1 billion in revenue, below the $86.1 billion consensus, with adjusted earnings slipping to $7.71 billion from $8.22 billion. Despite the decline, adjusted EPS came in at $1.76, beating estimates of $1.70. 
The energy giant maintained steady production at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45161321/exxonmobil-announces-first-quarter-2025-results">4.55 million barrels</a> of oil equivalent per day and posted $13 billion in operating cash flow. 
Shareholder returns remained robust at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45164566/exxon-mobil-q1-profit-tops-forecasts-despite-revenue-miss-slashes-costs-by-127-billion-more">$9.1 billion</a> through dividends and buybacks, and Exxon reaffirmed its $20 billion annual repurchase plan through 2026.

Market sentiment was further dampened by a nearly 2% decline in WTI crude futures after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">OPEC+ announced</a> it would raise output by 411,000 barrels per day in June. 
The move, led by Saudi Arabia, aims to rein in overproduction by members like Iraq and Kazakhstan while regaining market share. 
The increased supply, totaling 960,000 bpd over three months, has reversed nearly half of the voluntary cuts made since 2022, placing renewed downward pressure on global oil prices.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy XOM Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Exxon Mobil &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Exxon Mobil, which is trading at $103.45 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.97 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, XOM has a 52-week high of $126.34 and a 52-week low of $97.80.

Why Is Israel-Based Generic Drug Focused Teva Pharmaceutical Stock Trading Higher On Monday?

Editor&rsquo;s note: This article was originally published in July 2024. It was updated in May 2025 to reflect the continued growth of Educannabis.
&quot;I&#39;ve spent my life with the romantic dream of saving the world,&quot; declares the Mexican entrepreneur Luis Fernando Campos Aguirre, setting the tone for a conversation that transcends the ordinary bounds of cannabis advocacy. A biotechnologist with a keen focus on environmental and social causes, Luis Fernando&mdash;better known as Luis Fer&mdash;has channeled his lifelong passion into Educannabis, a project conceived to help demystify cannabis and empower its consumers through education.
Founded in 2021 alongside friends Yowua Cobos and Jos&eacute; Garc&iacute;a Varela, Educannabis was born from a simple yet profound mission: to provide clear, accurate and stigma-free information about the plant. The platform quickly gained traction, amassing more than 1.2 million followers on TikTok and becoming the largest cannabis education platform on social media in the Spanish-speaking world. Luis Fer&rsquo;s vision, driven by his lifelong passion for making a positive impact, began to take shape as he and his team tackled the misinformation surrounding cannabis.
Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39114436/how-3-chilean-brothers-built-a-global-cannabis-platform-embraced-by-big-sponsors-like-adidas-and">How 3 Chilean Brothers Built A Global Cannabis Platform Embraced By Big Sponsors Like Adidas And Crocs</a>
&quot;We want to help everyone who was too embarrassed to raise their hand for help,&quot; says Luis Fer. This ethos drives Educannabis&#39; content, which ranges from scientific explanations of cannabis to practical advice for safe consumption&mdash;mostly in very short-form videos.
<script async src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><h3>&lsquo;So Far From God, So Close To The U.S.&rsquo;</h3>
In Mexico, where cannabis legislation is in flux, Educannabis stands as a trusted source of reliable information. The country&rsquo;s Supreme Court declared cannabis prohibition unconstitutional in 2018, yet the legislative framework remains incomplete, leaving consumers in a legal gray area. However, some licenses for hemp cultivation have been granted, as first reported by Latin American media outlet <a href="https://elplanteo.com/mexico-cofepris-autoriza-cultivo-de-canamo/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">El Planteo</a>. Luis Fer is candid about the challenges: &quot;The legislation is not up to the industry or its citizens,&quot; he laments. Despite the bureaucratic hurdles, he encourages individuals to pursue legal avenues for personal cultivation and consumption, emphasizing the importance of doing so for their safety and peace of mind.
The influence of the United States, both culturally and geographically close to Mexico, plays a significant role in shaping the cannabis landscape. &quot;The trends of the largest market in the world (the U.S.) have always directly affected Mexico, and I&rsquo;m sure the cannabis industry is no exception,&quot; says Luis Fer.&nbsp;
There&rsquo;s a well-known Mexican saying&mdash;often attributed to former leader Porfirio D&iacute;az&mdash;that reflects the country&rsquo;s complex relationship with its northern neighbor: &quot;Poor Mexico, so far from God, so close to the United States.&quot; Luis Fer believes that the anticipated federal regulation of cannabis in the U.S. will spur Mexican legislators to finally establish a comprehensive legal framework. &quot;The current [Mexican] government is in favor of legalization, and I&rsquo;m convinced that this will be the term where we see the harvest of the efforts that so many activists have planted,&quot; he asserts.
<h3>The &lsquo;Broccoli&rsquo; Approach</h3>
Navigating the tricky waters of social media has not been easy for the Educannabis team, especially given the platforms&#39; stringent content guidelines around cannabis. Nonetheless, it has managed to skirt these bans by focusing on education rather than promotion. &quot;Our aim is to empower people with knowledge, enabling them to make informed decisions about their cannabis use,&quot; Luis Fer states. This commitment to education is reflected in the platform&rsquo;s content, which includes tips on everything from passing drug tests to talking with skeptical family members about cannabis consumption.
&quot;From the beginning of the project on YouTube, we knew we had to make efforts across different social networks. The challenge of talking about cannabis on platforms that censor our content makes everything much more fun. This desire to create content to help others has allowed us to grow as a team and understand the algorithm a little more in a game where we will never be experts because it changes every day,&quot; says Luis Fer. This meticulous attention to detail, from the content itself to its presentation, has been key to its growth.
The team&rsquo;s creative approach has enabled it to navigate censorship effectively. By using code phrases like &quot;magic broccoli&quot; to refer to cannabis, the team has managed to discuss the topic without violating platform guidelines. &quot;It started as a local joke, a term to talk about cannabis in public that only people in the conversation would understand,&quot; Luis Fer explains. Today, &quot;broccoli&quot; is widely recognized and used within the cannabis community&mdash;even becoming the center of a <a href="https://boardroom.tv/weedmaps-cannabis-censorship-brock-ollie/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">well-known advertising campaign</a> in the U.S. in 2022.
<h3>The Expanding Horizon Of Educannabis And Latin American Cannabis Markets</h3>
As Educannabis evolves, the size and potential of the cannabis market in Latin America become increasingly significant. Prohibition Partners analysts estimate that the Latin American cannabis market could skyrocket to billions in sales in a few years, with both medical and recreational use gaining legal status in countries like Uruguay, Colombia, Argentina and Mexico. The market value is expected to surge from $168 million in 2020 to an estimated $824 million by the end of 2024, according to <a href="https://prohibitionpartners.com/reports/the-latin-america-and-caribbean-cannabis-report-second-edition/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prohibition Partners</a>. This trend is fostered by favorable legislation, a strategic location and economic benefits, such as production costs up to 80% lower than in North America.
In Mexico specifically, the medical cannabis market was valued at $7.8 million in 2023 and is projected to grow significantly, potentially reaching $117.7 million by 2030, as reported by <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/mexico-medical-cannabis-market" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grand View Research</a>. This rapid growth is driven by the impending legalization of recreational cannabis, which is expected to end criminal drug trafficking and shift the business to legal cannabis entrepreneurs. Comparatively, the U.S. cannabis market is already substantial, with projections estimating it to reach $53.5 billion by 2027, according to <a href="https://mjbizdaily.com/us-cannabis-sales-estimates/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MJBizDaily</a>.
<h3>Combatting Censorship With &lsquo;Censura&rsquo;</h3>
Educannabis&#39; journey has been marked by innovation and adaptability, traits that have enabled it to thrive despite significant challenges. One of the most pressing issues faced by cannabis consumers in Mexico is the pervasive stigma and misinformation surrounding the plant. &quot;Security and disinformation go hand in hand and are consequences of illegality and social prejudices,&quot; says Luis Fer. This stigmatization often forces individuals to hide their consumption, putting them at risk.
<script async src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>Educannabis addresses these challenges head-on by providing a wealth of information that transforms into knowledge. &quot;We explain the risks of exposing oneself to obtain cannabis, the advantage of investing in quality products with certifications or chromatographic tests, and give consumers virtual hugs, reminding them that they are not bad people for consuming cannabis,&quot; Luis Fer voices. This supportive approach helps reduce stigma and promotes a culture of responsible consumption.
The team is also dedicated to evolving with the ever-changing landscape of social media. It created &quot;Censura&quot; (&ldquo;censorship&rdquo; in Spanish), a marketing agency designed to help nascent industries navigate restrictions without violating platform rules. &quot;Knowing the terms and conditions of the networks where we exist is just the first step; they are constantly changing and we constantly have to change with them,&quot; says Luis Fer.
For now, Educannabis remains focused on its core mission: to educate and empower cannabis consumers. Its efforts to demystify cannabis and promote responsible consumption have resonated with a broad audience, from seasoned users to curious newcomers. By providing reliable information and fostering a supportive community, Educannabis is helping to shape a more informed and accepting society.
Its journey is far from over. With a solid foundation and a clear vision, Luis Fer and his team are poised to continue making a significant impact in the world of cannabis education.
