The largest US oil company, Exxon Mobil Corp., has surpassed electric-vehicle giant Tesla Inc. in market value for the first time since 2020 as investors sell high-growth stocks and buy up value stocks in the energy sector.
Exxon shares have soared 75% year-to-date, putting the energy giant on pace for its best ever annual performance, while Tesla’s stock has plummeted roughly 60% over the same period, for its worst annual slump ever.
