Occidental Petroleum (OXY) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Occidental Petroleum is underpinned by a materially stronger balance sheet after the CrownRock acquisition, with gross debt cut from a peak near $29B to under $14B and net debt to capital down to about 18%, while liquidity of $8.3B supports ongoing deleveraging. Its investment case is reinforced by stable 2025 production of 1.4 million boe/d, a large 4.6 billion boe reserve base, and a path to roughly 85% higher sustainable cash flow at a flat $65/bbl WTI price deck from 2025-29 through lower sustaining capex, $1.7B of corporate savings, and $800MM of operational efficiencies. With term debt targeted near $10B, strong midstream earnings, and cash accumulation toward the August 2029 preferred redemption, the company’s capital allocation should increasingly support both financial flexibility and shareholder returns.
Bears say
Occidental Petroleum is facing a negative fundamental setup because recent volume trends weakened, with pre-released 3Q GOM output of 110 MBoepd down from 144 MBoepd in 2Q, while 2Q international volumes of 205 MBoepd also missed guidance amid Middle East conflict disruptions. The company is raising spending to $700MM in the region this year from $516M in 2025 and to $600MM on international assets from $505MM in 2025, which can pressure free cash flow if operational volatility persists. Because production is unhedged, any decline in oil or gas prices, higher service costs, tax increases, CO2 sequestration setbacks, or weaker well productivity could further reduce cash flow and call into question the quality of its drilling inventory and future reserve-backed value.
