XOM earnings: how the stock reacted
Each quarterly results release (SEC 8-K Item 2.02), the trend before it, insider trades in the 30 days before, and the 2-day market reaction. “E” marks releases on the chart above.
| Release | 15 days before | Insiders, 30 days before | Reaction (2 days) | Next 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 30, 2026 | +3.5% | None | -2.0%S&P -2.2% | pending |
| Jul 31, 2026 | +8.6% | None | -1.2%S&P +2.2% | +6.5% |
Most companies bar insiders from trading in the weeks before results, so pre-earnings purchases are rare and often made by directors or under pre-set plans. Past reactions don't predict future ones.
XOM short selling
Daily short-sale volume as a share of trading volume (FINRA), with the 20-day average.
This is short volume from off-exchange trades, not short interest. It includes market makers' routine hedging, so 40–50% is normal; what stands out is a ratio well above the stock's own average. Insiders buying while shorts pile in →
