What are Wall Street analysts saying about Occidental Petroleum stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Occidental Petroleum stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Occidental have underperformed the industry year to date. Worryingly, rising freight rates due to U.S. sanctions could impact the company’s margins. Occidental, similar to other oil and gas companies, faces the risk of cost overruns and interruptions due to delays in drilling and approvals. The competitive industry and ongoing fluctuation in commodity prices are adversely impacting the company’s operations. However, Occidental is benefiting from increasing oil production from Permian resources. Its acquisition of Anadarko will further expand operations in the Permian Basin. Occidental’s decision to divest lower-margin oil and gas assets will be productive for the company over the long run. Expense management and oil production from high-quality U.S. onshore assets are going to drive its performance." (10/15/2019)
- 2. Mizuho analysts commented, "We sympathise. Stronger dividend growth ahead? – Cash return growth, ideally via consistent and sustainable dividend growth, is key to our Renaissance thesis, and OXY is best-positioned among US E&P’s to deliver this dividend growth. In its slide deck, OXY highlights a cash return target of greater than $3.1Bn" in 2019. We think the company signals capacity for stronger dividend growth, and certainly want a much stronger effort than the nominal 1c/quarter of the past two years. We will be looking for additional detail on the call. Unconventional EOR – Demonstrating unconventional EOR commercial success in 2019 is a key to delivering on OXY’s 2022 $9.0Bn operating cash flow target. Expect the company to better define the opportunity set for enhanced recovery opportunities in Permian unconventional on the call." (2/13/2019)
