Exxon Mobil breaks another earnings record
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27453305/

HOUSTON - Exxon Mobil Corp., the world's largest publicly traded oil
company, says it shattered its own record for the biggest profit from
operations by a U.S. corporation, earning $14.83 billion in the third
quarter.

Bolstered by this summer's record crude prices, the Irving,
Texas-based company said Thursday that net income jumped nearly 58
percent, or $2.86 a share in the July-September. That compares with
$9.41 billion, or $1.70 a share, a year ago.

The previous record for U.S. corporate profit was set earlier this
year, when Exxon Mobil earned $11.68 billion in the second quarter.

Revenue rose 35 percent to $137.7 billion.

On average, analysts expected the company to earn $2.39 per share in
the latest quarter on revenue of $131.4 billion.
