Occidental Petroleum Corp. OXY

Occidental Petroleum has demonstrated strong financial resilience, reporting fourth-quarter 2025 earnings of 31 cents per share, exceeding expectations despite a revenue decline. The company’s stock has rallied over 21% since coverage began, bolstered by an 8% dividend increase to $0.26 per share. Recent asset swaps and Berkshire Hathaway's substantial investment signals heightened investor confidence. Amid ongoing challenges, including a $20.62 billion long-term debt, Occidental is strategically divesting non-core assets and aims for increased oil production in 2026.
