ExxonMobil Corp (XOM) stock is still well below many analysts' price targets. Based on its strong free cash flow, XOM stock is worth at least $127 per share, or 11% more. Moreover, shorting out-of-the-money (OTM) puts provides a potential lower buy-in.
XOM is at $114.50 in midday trading on Monday, June 23. That is up from its lows but still off recent highs - $119.04 on April 4. However, it has further upside, as I discussed in a May 2 Barchart article ("ExxonMobil's Free Cash Flow is Attracting Value Buyers to XOM Stock").
