Exxon, Mobil & Chevron were 3 of the largest companies in the original Standard Oil 100 years ago. Even in a 10 year chart, after the recent market slide, their stock performances over the last decade have been good, but not great. Exxon recently joined the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrat list with a dividend yield of 2.6% Chevron has a higher yield at 4.3%.
