This Is What Whales Are Betting On Occidental Petroleum

JPMorgan analysts shared their take on Devon Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) and Occidental Petroleum Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) following their latest earnings reports, highlighting key financial moves and production outlooks. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43828144/devon-energy-shines-as-analysts-praise-efficiency-capex-cuts">what you know</a>.
JPMorgan on DVN: For Devon Energy, analysts noted that the company delivered one of the strongest earnings prints of the season, with a 3% oil production beat leading to a 6% increase in cash flow. The company's 2025 guidance was better than expected, with a more capital-efficient plan that increases oil output while cutting spending by 5%. According to the analysts, strong performances in the Eagle Ford and Rockies assets, along with the successful integration of the Grayson Mill acquisition, contributed to the earnings beat. Devon also raised its fixed dividend by 9% and repurchased $301 million in stock during the quarter, with plans to return up to 70% of its free cash flow to investors in 2025.
JPMorgan on OXY: Occidental Petroleum's stock surged 4.4% post-earnings despite a weaker-than-expected first-quarter 2025 outlook and $1.1 billion in special charges, including impairments and environmental reserves. JPMorgan analysts suggested the stock's strength was driven by a sizable fourth-quarter beat, accelerated debt reduction, and a 9% dividend increase. Occidental generated $1.35 billion in free cash flow in the quarter, using $500 million to reduce debt and achieving its $4.5 billion deleveraging target seven months ahead of schedule. The company also announced $1.2 billion in non-core asset sales, with plans to use the proceeds for 2025 debt maturities.
Price Action: Shares of Devon Energy were up 2.24% at $38.41, while Occidental Petroleum gained 2.34% to trade at $52.18 as of Tuesday afternoon.

Despite reporting a mixed fourth quarter, Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) reduced its near-term debt seven months ahead of schedule during the period. The company also set an ambitious target of further debt reduction during the first quarter of 2025.
What Happened: The president and CEO of Occidental Petroleum, Vicki Hollub highlighted that the company achieved its near-term debt repayment target of $4.5 billion, seven months early &#8220;through a combination of asset sales and organic cash flow.&#8221;
Senior VP and CFO, Sunil Mathew said, "We are continuing this momentum into 2025 and announced $1.2 billion in divestitures in the first quarter."
Looking ahead to 2025, CEO Hollub outlined a strategy centered on financial discipline, mirroring 2024&#8217;s focus. The primary objectives are "to continue our deleveraging progress from last year and deliver sustainable dividend growth."

Why It Matters: Occidental reported fourth-quarter earnings of $0.80 per share, exceeding analyst estimates of $0.70 and up from $0.74 year-over-year. Revenue, however, fell short at $6.83 billion versus an expected $7.05 billion and was down from $7.52 billion last year. Production surpassed guidance, and the company increased its quarterly dividend by 9% to $0.24 per share.
In 2024, OxyChem achieved record total company production, reaching 1.33 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day. This figure also represented the company&#8217;s highest annual U.S. oil production, and it surpassed the upper limit of their projected full-year output.
Talking about the guidance, CFO Mathew anticipated a lower first-half production, followed by a second-half ramp-up. OxyChem&#8217;s full-year pre-tax income is projected at $1 billion, reflecting a slight decrease.
Price Action: OxyChem rose 4.40% on Wednesday and advanced further by 0.39% during after-hours trading, contrasting with a slight 0.24% uptick in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the Nasdaq 100 index. OXY remains up 4.84% on a year-to-date basis and 23.39% over a year.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OXY/analyst-ratings">Benzinga tracks 22 analysts</a> with an average price target of $62.1 for the stock, reflecting a "sell" rating. Estimates range widely from $45 to $78. Recent ratings from Stephens &amp; Co., Goldman Sachs, and Truist Securities average $58, suggesting a potential 13.30% upside.

Warren Buffett's Favorite Energy Stock Occidental Petroleum Achieves Near-Term Debt Reduction Target 7 Months Early In Q4: Management Sets $1.2 Billion Target For Q1

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) shares are moving higher on Wednesday as oil prices rise following a drone attack on a Russian pipeline, which could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43817326">weaken supply</a>.
The Details: The drone attack, which took place on Monday, targeted the Kropotkinskaya station located in Krasnodar, according to Reuters. The Kropotkinskaya station is the largest pumping station on the pipeline in Russia and is responsible for pumping about 1% of global crude oil supply.
The Caspian Pipeline Consortium oversees the pipeline and, as of Monday, has not identified those responsible for the attack. However, it confirmed that the Kropotkinskaya facility was shut down, and crude oil flow through the Tengiz-Novorossiysk pipeline system was being maintained at reduced rates, bypassing the pumping station.
Deputy chairman of Russia&#8217;s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated, &#8220;Ukrainian drones attacked a pumping station that provides oil transportation through the main oil pipeline of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. A blow to an oil consortium could stop oil pumping, unbalance the market, increase oil price spikes and cause direct damage to American companies.&#8221;
Furthermore, Medvedev said that Ukraine's attack on a pipeline partially owned by U.S. companies was a blow against President Donald Trump, who has sought lower oil prices. He added that it remained to be seen how Trump would respond.
Occidental shares may be rising following the drone attack, as reduced supply could drive up prices, potentially boosting profits. The attack may also heighten concerns over geopolitical tensions, prompting investors to buy oil stocks as a hedge against future supply uncertainty.
What Else: Occidental reported earnings for the 2024 fiscal-year fourth-quarter after the market closed on Tuesday. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of 80 cents, beating analysts&#8217; estimate of 70 cents. In addition, it reported sales of $6.83 billion, missing analysts&#8217; estimate of $7.05 billion.
Additionally, Occidental announced it achieved its near-term debt repayment target of $4.5 billion in the fourth-quarter. In the 2025 first-quarter, it signed two agreements to divest upstream assets for a combined total of $1.2 billion.

<li>Stephens <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6447940daaeafc000160521b/mike-scialla">analyst Mike Scialla</a> reiterated an Overweight rating and price target of $71.</li>
<li>Raymond James <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/580dc7a6846faa000106ae4f/mark-lear">analyst Mark Lear</a> maintained a Neutral rating on the stock.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Stephens: Occidental Petroleum reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings and cash flows of 80 cents per share and $3.13 per share, respectively. It beat the consensus of 68 cents per share and $2.85 per share, Scialla said. Production grew by 4% sequentially and 19% year-on-year to 1,463 MBpoed (million barrels of oil equivalent per day), 1% above Street expectations, he added.
Occidental divested another $1.2 billion-worth of properties in the first quarter of 2025. The company also achieved its $4.5 billion near-term debt reduction target seven months early, the analyst explained. Management's first-quarter guidance for total and oil production were 4% and 5% below market estimates, mainly due to weather conditions and the divestitures in the quarter, he further stated.
Raymond James: Occidental's fourth-quarter results were mostly ahead of expectations. Lear credited "stronger volumes and Oxychem and midstream beats" for driving growth. The full-year guidance for capital expenditure came in at $7.5 billion, in-line with expectations, he added.
The "glaring negative" was the oil production guidance for the first quarter, the midpoint of which stands at 703 million barrels of oil per day, down around 4% sequentially, the analyst stated. The main driver of lower volumes guide was the divestitures closing by the end of the first quarter and "expected ethane rejection in the DJ decreasing production volumes by ~21 mboe/d," he further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of Occidental Petroleum had risen by 6.30% to $51.96 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

US, Russia Begin Ukrainian Peace Talks, Intel Shares Surge: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

<img alt="Occidental Petroleum barrels" class="article-image-one" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20250213085012_buffett-buys-more-occidental-petroleumsticking-to.png" style="height:488px; width:1200px" />
In the world of indicator purgatory, where investors load up their screens with dozens of different indicators that end up making so much noise that no real signals are given, one simple gauge can be followed for an accurate assessment of the stock market. That indicator is found in buying and selling activity from professionals, but not just any professional this time.
Warren Buffett, responsible for <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/BRK-B/">Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/brk-b#NYSE">BRK-B</a>)&#39;s holdings, has decided to continue on his course to focus on the value stocks (there are few of them) found in today&#39;s market. These are harder to find because the S&amp;P 500 now trades near its all-time high, leaving discounts in the dust, but that&#39;s what makes following Buffett&#39;s activities so powerful.
This time around, there is a clear indication that Buffett might be aware of the cyclically low level of the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSEARCA/IVE/">iShares S&amp;P 500 Value ETF (NYSEARCA: IVE)</a> and the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSEARCA/IVW/">iShares S&amp;P 500 Growth ETF (NYSEARCA: IVW)</a>, meaning that value stocks in general could start to outperform other growth names, such as the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/computer-and-technology/">technology sector</a>, in the coming months. Buffett&#39;s choice? More of <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/OXY/">Occidental Petroleum Co. (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oxy#NYSE">OXY</a>).
<h2>What is Buffett Trying to Tell You</h2>
Apart from the fact that investors should be watchful of this value to growth spread, Buffett&#39;s recent activity also says a lot about the energy sector. Out of all potential deals in the market, Buffett has chosen to go with energy, though it makes sense after Goldman Sachs analysts decided to recommend the commodity in their <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/images/insights/2025-outlooks/Tailwinds-Probably-Trump-Tariffs.pdf">2025 macro outlook</a> report.
More than that, Paul Tudor Jones also said that the risk-to-reward in oil is unbelievable during a recent <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/paul-tudor-jones-all-roads-lead-inflation-long-bitcoin">CNBC interview</a>. With more of Wall Street&#39;s attention turning to oil and oil stocks, it is clear that Warren Buffett is right again, but that&#39;s not the only lesson investors can take away from this.
He also decided to trim some of this former darling, which is <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AAPL/">Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). This decision came in wonderful timing. His selling preceded the declines in other technology names during their first quarter 2025 earnings announcements, as seen in the charts for <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AMZN/">Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) or <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/GOOGL/">Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>).
Now, after breaking down two of Buffett&#39;s latest decisions, the trend out of growth and into value should start to make more sense for investors. However, there are a couple more factors that investors should consider before considering following Buffett in his recent buying spree for Occidental Petroleum stock.
<h2>Why Occidental Petroleum?</h2>
Buying <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/315090/000095017025018266/xslF345X05/ownership.xml">over 700 thousand shares of stock</a> is not something to be taken lightly, especially as Buffett now owns over 28% of the entire company. To clear it all up, here are some factors that investors can keep in mind moving forward in case more volatility decides to embrace the stock.
Knowing that they are fighting the biggest value investing legend on Wall Street, short sellers decided to close some of their positions over the past month. This can be seen in the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/OXY/short-interest/">4.9% decline in short interest</a> for Occidental Petroleum, a clear sign of bearish capitulation.
But Buffett wasn&#39;t the only one who decided to come in and replace some of these bears who took off; institutional buyers from the Vanguard Group boosted their holdings in Occidental Petroleum stock by as much as 18.1% as of February 2025, bringing their net position to a<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/OXY/institutional-ownership/"> high of $3.4 billion</a>, or 7.3% ownership in the company.
With more buyers circling the stock, it would make sense for investors to start considering the upside versus the downside. At <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/OXY/chart/">68% of its 52-week high</a>, Occidental Petroleum looks like it offers very little of one but a ton of the other.
Analysts at Mizuho share that view, keeping their price targets above the consensus despite recent stock declines. As of December 2024, their valuations for Occidental Petroleum stock were <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/OXY/forecast/">kept at $70 per share</a>, which would mean not only grasping the stock&#39;s 52-week high but an implied rally of as much as 46.4% from today&#39;s low price.
Ultimately, here&#39;s where value investors can really celebrate. Occidental Petroleum stock now trades at a price-to-book (P/B) of only 1.9x, which is a steep discount to the rest of the energy sector&#39;s 4.3x average valuation today. This gives investors a risk-to-reward setup that would let them escape any volatility during the rotation out of growth and into value.
