What to Expect From Occidental Petroleum's (OXY) Q3 Earnings?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2022 results on Nov 8. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 7.9%.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Consider

Occidental’s third-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from share repurchases initiated in the last quarter. The repayment of outstanding debts would reduce capital servicing cost and boost margins.

Strong production from domestic assets may have given a boost to total production volumes in the quarter. However, lower sulfur prices are likely to have impacted the midstream business in the third quarter.

Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share and total revenues are pegged at $2.48 per share and $9.35 billion, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 185% and 37.3%, respectively.
