ExxonMobil to Buy Pioneer Natural Resources for $60 Billion
The US energy sector is on the verge of a mega merger: energy and petrochemical giant ExxonMobil has announced its intention to take over producer Pioneer Natural Resources. The merger is planned as an all-stock transaction valued at $59.5 billion, or $253 per share, based on ExxonMobil’s closing price on Oct. 5, 2023, according to a company statement. First reports about the ongoing negotiations already circulated last week.
