Why would Exxon oil stock go down when their profits are thru the roof?

Question

...are executives able to divert the money the company makes?

Answer 1

Total Exxon profits are good, but there is quite a bit of uncertainty about how long it will last.  (You may have noticed that the price of oil is volatile.)  Also, as a percentage of their gross, their profit margin really isn't astonishing, the total figure is high because they are an extremely large company.
