Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) on Friday reported second-quarter profit of $1.7 billion.
The Irving, Texas-based company said it had profit of 41 cents per share.

The oil and natural gas company posted revenue of $57.69 billion in the period, which also fell short of Street forecasts. Three analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $59.83 billion.
Exxon shares have risen 16 per cent since the beginning of the year, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index has climbed 6 per cent. The stock has risen slightly more than 9 per cent in the last 12 months.
