Occidental Petroleum is a well-managed energy firm with significant production upside, strong free cash flow, and a recent acquisition boosting its Permian Basin output. The company is using excess cash flow for debt repayment, enhancing its balance sheet, and offering a 2% dividend yield, making it an attractive buy. Warren Buffett's 30% ownership and the accretive CrownRock acquisition should provide additional comfort. Investors today get a 15% discount on Buffett's June buys of OXY.
OXY has lost nearly 16% in a year, but investors can remain invested, given its strong Permian Basin and stable performance in the trailing 12 months.
