Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY) Is a Trending Stock: Facts to Know Before Betting on It
By: Zacks Investment Research | March 6, 2024
Occidental Petroleum
OXY
is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.
Shares of this oil and gas exploration and production company have returned +5.2% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +2.9% change. The Zacks Oil and Gas - Integrated - United States industry, to which Occidental belongs, has gained 3.9% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.
Earnings Estimate Revisions
Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.
Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.
Occidental is expected to post earnings of $0.67 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -38.5%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -26.8%.
The consensus earnings estimate of $3.67 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of -0.8%. This estimate has changed -14.2% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $4.75 indicates a change of +29.4% from what Occidental is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -3.2%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Occidental.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Projected Revenue Growth
While earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.
In the case of Occidental, the consensus sales estimate of $6.83 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of -5.9%. The $29.87 billion and $32.48 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +3.3% and +8.7%, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise History
Occidental reported revenues of $7.53 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -9.6%. EPS of $0.74 for the same period compares with $1.61 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.14 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +5.47%. The EPS surprise was 0%.
Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed EPS estimates just once. The company topped consensus revenue estimates two times over this period.
Valuation
No investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.
Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.
The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an An is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Occidental is graded B on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
Conclusion
The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Occidental. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

Occidental Petroleum (OXY) Stock Edges Higher Before Earnings
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | February 12, 2024
• The company will report fourth-quarter earnings after the close on Thursday, Feb. 15
• Shares are down 11.6% in the last 12 months
Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:OXY) is set to report fourth-quarter earnings after the close on Thursday, Feb. 15. The equity was last seen up 1.1% to trade at $58.09 at last check, but is still under the 60-day moving average, despite a brief foray above the trendline in December. Shares are down 11.6% in the last 12 months, and also carry a slim year-to-date deficit.
As far as as post-earnings reactions are concerned, OXY's history is less than stellar. The stock finished five of the past eight next-day sessions lower, including an 9.2% dip in November 2022. Shares averaged a move of 3% in the past two years, regardless of direction, but the options pits are pricing in a larger-than-usual swing of 4.5% this time.
Options traders lean overwhelmingly bullish. This is per the stock's 10-day call/put volume ratio of 4.82 over at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) that sits higher than all but 4% of readings from the past year.
Analysts are skeptical, with 12 of the 19 firms in coverage calling OXY a tepid "hold" or worse, while the average 12-month target price of $66.84 is a 14.8% premium to current levels. It's also worth noting the 52.11 million shares sold short makes up 8.3% of the stock's available float.

Occidental Petroleum (OXY) Eyes Best Day Since October
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | December 14, 2023
• Berkshire Hathaway bought 10.5 million shares of OXY
• Options traders are chiming in on the oil name's newsy day
Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:OXY) stock is on the rise today, after news that Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) bought 10.5 million shares worth about $588.7 million. This news came the same day as reports that Occidental Petroleum is purchasing oil & gas producer CrownRock for $12 billion.
At last look, OXY was up 3.5% to trade at $59.18, moving further from its recent Dec. 12 52-week low of $55.12, and now on track to log its best daily performance since October. Today's pop has the stock back above its 20-day moving average, which has helped guide the shares lower since October, and the shares are now on track to snap a five-week losing streak.
Options bulls are blasting the oil name in response. So far, 56,000 calls have been exchanged -- six times the call volume typically seen at this point -- in comparison to 17,000 puts. Expiring tomorrow, the December 60 call is the most active contract, with new positions being bought to open there.
Bullish sentiment in the options pits has been the standard for a while now, too. OXY's 50-day call/put volume ratio of 3.38 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) ranks higher than 98% of readings from the past year.

Occidental Petroleum (OXY) to acquire CrownRock for $12 billion
By: Investing | December 11, 2023
Occidental (NYSE:OXY), the energy giant, has announced its acquisition of CrownRock LP, an oil and gas producer based in Midland.
The deal, valued at approximately $12 billion, encompasses both cash and stock, and involves assuming CrownRock's existing debt.
“We believe the acquisition of CrownRock’s assets adds to the strongest and most differentiated portfolio that Occidental has ever had. We found CrownRock to be a strategic fit, giving us the opportunity to build scale in the Midland Basin and positioning us to drive value creation for our shareholders with immediate free cash flow accretion,” said Occidental President and Chief Executive Officer Vicki Hollub.
“We are excited about combining CrownRock’s high-performing team into our organization and expect to continue Occidental’s exceptional operational and financial results for years to come.”
CrownRock LP is a joint venture between CrownQuest Operating and Lime Rock Partners.
The acquisition is strategically aimed at enhancing Occidental's financial position, with expectations of delivering increased free cash flow on a diluted share basis.
The company anticipates generating $1 billion in the first year following the acquisition, based on a reference price of $70 per barrel for WTI crude oil.
Earlier today, Morgan Stanley analysts upgraded OXY's stock rating to Overweight.
OXY shares are down 0.3% in pre-market Monday.

Occidental Petroleum falls on report of deal to acqurie CrownRock
By: Investing | November 30, 2023
Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) is in talks to buy Permian operator CrownRock for well over $10 billion, including debt, the Wall Street Journal reported overnight citing people familiar with the matter.
A deal between the two could be announced over the near term as long as talks don't fall apart or another suitor doesn't outbid Occidental.
Shares of Occidental traded down 1.5% mid-day amid the report.
CrownRock is one of the last remaining privately held companies in the Permian and produces about 150,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway owns a 26% stake in Occidental and commented in the past that they wouldn't seek to acquire the entire company.
Earlier in the fall, speculation suggested that oil giant Chevron (NYSE:CVX) was kicking the tires of Occidental, but talks between the two fizzled. In October, Chevron agreed to acquire Hess (NYSE:HES) in a $53 billion all-cash deal. This deal closely followed Exxon Mobil's nearly $60 billion all-stock deal for Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:PXD), highlighting the frenzy of deal activity in the sector.

Occidental Petroleum's (OXY) debt situation raises potential risk for shareholders
By: Investing | October 30, 2023
Warren Buffett's stance on risk has highlighted the need for a thorough examination of Occidental Petroleum Corporation's (NYSE:OXY) debt status, which could present substantial risks to its shareholders. As of June 2023, the company's net debt stands at $18.6 billion, showing a decrease from the previous year's $22 billion. This figure takes into account cash reserves amounting to $486 million.
The company is faced with short-term liabilities of $7.15 billion, due within a year, and long-term liabilities amounting to $34.6 billion. The value of Occidental Petroleum's cash and near-term receivables is estimated at $3.33 billion, which creates a significant imbalance compared to its liabilities.
Despite Occidental Petroleum's considerable market capitalization of $55.1 billion, the company's financial situation could potentially lead to shareholder dilution. This arises from the possibility that the company may issue more shares to raise capital in order to manage its debt, which would reduce the proportionate ownership of existing shareholders.
