Yes, ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) is currently implementing a share buyback program. They are buying back shares at a rate of $20 billion annually. This program is part of their broader shareholder return strategy, which also includes a high dividend yield. ExxonMobil has reaffirmed its outlook for $20 billion in capital return this year, including both dividends and share repurchases.
No, Woodside Energy does not have a current buyback program. The company previously completed a selective buyback in 2014 to purchase 78.3 million shares from Shell. While some investors have suggested a share buyback could be a more beneficial use of capital than some of their current growth projects, Woodside has focused on other strategies like acquisitions and dividend distributions.
