Occidental Petroleum: Berkshire's Deal For OxyChem Is A Win-Win
BRK-A, BRK-B, OXY
Published: October 02, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Occidental Petroleum benefits from Berkshire Hathaway's $9.7B OxyChem deal, enabling significant debt reduction and a sharper oil and gas focus. OXY will use proceeds to repay $6.5B in long-term debt, lowering interest expenses and achieving its sub-$15B debt target to accelerate shareholder returns. Despite weaker oil prices, OXY maintains stable quarterly financials, and a leaner balance sheet positions the company for upside if energy prices rebound.

Occidental Petroleum: Streamlined/Efficient Operations Trigger Richer Cash Flow Story
OXY
Published: September 15, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

OXY has demonstrated its ability to drive improved capital efficiency, as observed in the lowered FY2025 capex and the raised FQ3'25 production guidance. These efforts have directly contributed to the reduction of per barrel cost and richer cash flows in H1'25, allowing the management to accelerate their deleveraging cadence. This is aided by OXY's decision to divest non-core, largely non-operated assets in its US onshore business, allowing it to largely streamline its operations.

Sentiment: Neutral

The US economy is showing signs of slowing, with the labor market cooling, consumer sentiment weak, Q3 GDP expected to slow to ~1.3%, and inflation still above the Fed's 2% target. Stagflation is now becoming a real risk. Markets are expensive; the S&P 500 is near all-time highs, and broad-market ETFs like VOO, QQQ, and VTI may only deliver modest returns over the next few years.

Occidental Petroleum: Prepare For DAC-Ing
OXY
Published: July 30, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Occidental Petroleum Corporation is heavily U.S. and Permian-focused, lacking both true diversification and pure-play shale status compared to peers. The company's main operational upside lies in Enhanced Oil Recovery, or EOR, using carbon capture, which benefits from lucrative tax credits. Direct Air Capture, or DAC, is a costly, inefficient carbon capture method; cheaper, scalable alternatives exist, making Oxy's heavy DAC investment questionable.
