Occidental Petroleum: The Oil Compounder

  • Occidental Petroleum has transformed into a capital-efficient, free-cash-flow compounder built to thrive through commodity cycles. OXY's disciplined capital allocation, reduced debt, and diversified asset base -- including Permian, DJ, Powder River, and international -- support long-term durability. Warren Buffett's large, growing stake reinforces the investment thesis, highlighting OXY's staying power and appeal as a long-term hold.
