Despite a 20% slump in oil prices in 2025, Exxon and Chevron's stocks rose by 4-18%, breaking the correlation between crude prices and oil stocks. Investors appreciated strategic pivots to boost upstream production, synergies from recent acquisitions, and cost-cutting measures.

Big Oil accelerated layoffs, eliminating thousands of jobs and pledging billions of dollars in cost savings.
