Title: Exxon Mobil Nears $60 Billion Acquisition Deal with Pioneer Natural Resources
Exxon Mobil (XOM) is reportedly on the verge of sealing a deal worth approximately $60 billion to acquire Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD), according to sources familiar with the matter. Talks between the two energy giants are expected to conclude in the coming days, contingent upon any last-minute obstacles.
The impending acquisition would enable Exxon Mobil to establish a significant presence in the oil-rich Permian Basin, a move that would bolster the company’s position in the industry. This development comes as no surprise, as discussions between Exxon Mobil and Pioneer Natural Resources had already begun in April of this year.
Following news of the potential deal, Pioneer Natural Resources’ stock experienced a surge of 10%, closing at $237.43 on Friday. However, Exxon Mobil’s stock saw a slight dip of 1.7% on the same day. It is noteworthy, however, that this decline followed a recent breakout by the company’s stock.
The recent drop in U.S. crude oil prices has raised concerns within the industry, with investors keeping a close eye on market developments and fluctuations. For those interested in growth stocks, it may be worth considering Exxon Mobil and Pioneer Natural Resources as potentially lucrative investments.
