House verdict
Covered — commodity-linked. Four decades of raises, including through oil at $30, is a record few companies in any sector can show. The flag is structural: earnings ride the oil price, so coverage in a crash year is the number to watch, not the streak.
✓Payout-coverage check:53.1% payout is covered at mid-cycle prices; the balance sheet carries the dividend through troughs.
✓Yield check:2.30% is honest, earned yield — with commodity volatility attached, and the card says so.
XOM in the House
Room: Utilities. Not one of the House's current holdings — in Order a New House it takes a seat in this room and carries the room's 13% target. Target 13% — regulated, slow-moving payers that steady the House when markets wobble.
Every card is graded the same way and re-checked against the company's own filings. The Weekly House Score reports whatever crosses a House threshold; the House Tracker is the spreadsheet the framework itself runs on.
