ExxonMobil earnings plunge 47.5 percent to $4.2 billion

ExxonMobil says its earnings fell 47.5 percent to $4.2 billion in the third quarter

ExxonMobil reported a big drop in third-quarter earnings Friday as lower oil and gas prices weighed on its exploration and production business.

Earnings fell 47.5 percent to $4.2 billion, with profits from the upstream division that finds and produces oil sinking to just $1.4 billion from $5.1 billion in the year-ago period.
