This is one stock Buffett simply cannot stop buying.
Occidental Petroleum is getting some funding to help accelerate the development of its next carbon capture facility. The company has already started building and commercializing its first facility.
Dividend stocks have been something of an unsung hero for Warren Buffett's company. Nearly 174 million shares of Bank of America stock have been sold by Buffett since July 17, which means it's no longer Berkshire Hathaway's top income-generating holding.
Occidental Petroleum stock has weakened considerably as it lost the $55 support zone. The lack of recent purchases from Warren Buffett didn't help matters, as OXY's bullish thesis was threatened. Occidental's integration of CrownRock's assets will be scrutinized. Potential delays could impact near-term sentiments.
OXY trades at ~$51, with a target of $60, reflecting an 18% upside, anchored by Fibonacci resistance levels. An RSI of 27.46 signals oversold conditions, potentially undervaluing OXY; no immediate reversal is expected due to bearish sentiment. Occidental achieved record production in Q2 2024, with $1.3 billion in free cash flow before working capital adjustments.
Occidental Petroleum recently declined to multi-year lows when oil prices fell below $70. Current oil prices are the lowest seen since 2021. Most signs (output, demand and others) indicate that if a recession doesn't happen soon, then oil prices will rise.
Despite weak momentum and bearish technicals, I maintain a buy rating on Occidental Petroleum due to strong fundamentals, high cash flow, and favorable earnings outlook. OXY's Q2 results beat expectations, with EPS of $1.03 and revenue of $6.88 billion, leading to several Wall Street upgrades. Risks include falling oil prices, a strong dollar, rising labor costs, and potential interest rate increases, but OXY's dividend and cash flow yield remain attractive.
