Ryan Mendy, COO of The Spinoff Report comments: "Through the sum of the parts analysis and our experience, we believe XOM's board can, in a number of ways [restructuring, technicals, new insider incentives, fresh stock options], enhance its shareholder value via a three way potential Spinoff of its Downstream business from the Upstream and Chemical businesses. With total revenues above its current market cap, recently making a series of notable asset sales and a PE of just over 11x; similar to that of COP PSX, the break-up could win shareholder approval through the distribution of stock in the separated entities and generate new blood investors."
