Occidental Petroleum: Why This Could Be A Treasury Alternative
Occidental Petroleum stands out with its Permian Basin dominance, global diversification, and leadership in low-carbon technology, making it a compelling energy investment. OXY's operational efficiency, cost reductions, and disciplined capital allocation—highlighted by buybacks and dividends—underscore its financial stability and appeal to value investors. Despite short-term oil price volatility and competitive risks, OXY's strong cash position, Buffett's backing, and acquisition potential provide resilience and upside catalysts.
Occidental Petroleum: Why Warren Buffett Kept Buying
