SEC filings

Stake 2.0M reported shares ≈ 0.0% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 4/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction No open-market buys or sales in the last year 5/15
Discipline 1 late Form 4 in 37 filings 9/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 2026 Jul 31, 2026 Woods argued that the quarter was a test of the portfolio rather than a windfall from it: ExxonMobil lost roughly 10% of its upstream production to the Middle East conflict and still earned $14.5 billion, because production outside the region was the highest in more than two decades and because refining, chemicals and specialty products absorbed a supply shock the company was structurally positioned for. His second argument was that the Guyana entitlement cut coming in the third quarter is good news read backwards — the co-venturers recovered their capital nearly two years early, so fewer barrels arrive with far more cash behind them, and "our focus remains on value, not volume." He closed the loop on cost: $16.3 billion of cumulative structural savings since 2019, with cash cost held flat year over year once production taxes and energy prices are stripped out.
