The 2030 plan lands as guided and prices stay supportive. Production reaches about 5.5 Moebd with the Permian at about 2.5, Chemical sales about 23.0 Mt and Specialty about 9.0 Mt, cumulative structural cost savings reach about $20B against $16.3B today, and the company delivers about $25B of earnings growth and about $35B of cash-flow growth from 2024 to 2030 at constant prices and margins. It does not deliver the per-share arithmetic of about $20B of annual buybacks, because this model holds the share count flat at the 4,112M outstanding on 30 June.

Basestocks, Mobil-branded finished lubricants and other high-value specialties. It is the smallest and steadiest of the four segments: ten quarters of revenue inside a $4,341-5,353M band and an EBITDA margin inside 20.2-23.5% in every quarter except the basis one, which makes it the only vertical here whose assumed terminal margin is nearly a disclosed one.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Revenue per tonne of $3,000.56 in the basis quarter sits 29% above the $2,229-2,415 band of the previous nine quarters, and the prepared remarks attribute the improvement to higher basestock margins and a strong Middle East response, both of them disruption-linked and neither of them permanent.
  • The 1,784 kt of the basis quarter is the lowest in the window against 1,976 kt in 1Q26, so the 4% first-quarter volume growth is a recovery rather than an expansion; the terminal 1.0% a quarter is what carries tonnage to the disclosed ~9.0 Mt 2030 plan.
  • The model prints 9.05 Mt for FY2030 against the ~9.0 Mt plan, which is the one segment where the base case delivers the 2030 volume target in full.
