Leadership

SI estimate
5.6/10

What are the people in charge doing?

SI estimate 5.6/10, confidence 20 of 100 (family median).

weight 22% of this tense · 50th percentile among 14 sector filers · read for its shareholders

SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed

Why it is an estimate
No officer or director has filed a Form 3, 4 or 5 for it in the last fifteen months, so the years in charge cannot be read, so the desk assumes the typical reading of its industry family, the median of 14 members with one.
What the record cannot read
No officer or director has filed a Form 3, 4 or 5 for it in the last fifteen months, so the years in charge cannot be read.
How it was reasoned
family median, 14 readings behind it.
Confidence
20 of 100
What would change it
Its next annual report on file with the inputs replaces this estimate with the filed reading.

From the record

SI estimate, not a filed reading: Imperial Oil Limited's leadership is put at 5.6 of 10 with a confidence of 20 of 100, because no officer or director has filed a Form 3, 4 or 5 for it in the last fifteen months, so the years in charge cannot be read, so the desk assumes the typical reading of its industry family, the median of 14 members with one. Its next annual report on file with the inputs replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
