Exxon Mobil defends profits amid windfall tax talk
Exxon Mobil faces Senate criticism over a near $10 billion quarterly profit while promising context for earnings. Ken Cohen argues profits stem from long term investments, not windfalls, noting Exxon’s profit per dollar of sales sits slightly above some peers and well below other industries. The group of majors including Chevron and Shell earned over $32.8 billion in the July-September quarter as hurricanes Katrina and Rita disrupted markets.
