Insights Into Occidental (OXY) Q3: Wall Street Projections for Key Metrics
Read MoreHide Full Article
Wall Street analysts expect Occidental Petroleum (OXY - Free Report) to post quarterly earnings of $0.48 per share in its upcoming report, which indicates a year-over-year decline of 52%. Revenues are expected to be $6.72 billion, down 6% from the year-ago quarter.
The current level reflects a downward revision of 16.2% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.
Prior to a company's earnings release, it is of utmost importance to factor in any revisions made to the earnings projections. These revisions serve as a critical gauge for predicting potential investor behaviors with respect to the stock. Empirical studies consistently reveal a strong link between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While it's common for investors to rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates for assessing how the business may have performed during the quarter, exploring analysts' forecasts for key metrics can yield valuable insights.
