What are Wall Street analysts saying about Occidental Petroleum stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Occidental Petroleum stock:
- 1. 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)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "In last 12 months Occidental Petroleum's shares have underperformed its industry. Occidental Petroleum’s businesses operate in a highly competitive environment, which could adversely affect its profitability and growth. Occidental Petroleum, like other oil and natural gas companies, faces the risks of cost overruns and development interruptions due to delays in drilling and other approvals. Occidental’s operations are subject to stringent federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations related to improving or maintaining environmental quality. However, Occidental Petroleum gains from more oil production in the Permian Resources and concentrating on high-margin production region. The ongoing capital investment will further strengthen the existing operation of the company." (1/11/2019)
