Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
OXY's Q3 revenues and EPS are expected at $6.72B and 48 cents, down 6.04% and 52% respectively, YoY.
Q3 Production volumes are expected in the range of 1,415-1,455 Mboe/d.
Higher Permian volumes and cost cuts may aid margins despite weaker pricing.
Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY - Free Report) is expected to report a year-over-year decline in both top and bottom lines when it reports third-quarter 2025 results on Nov. 10, after market close.
The company’s earnings beat estimates in the last four reported quarters, with an average surprise of 25.72%.
Let us focus how things are shaping up for the upcoming earnings release.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped OXY’s Q3 Earnings
OXY’s third-quarter production volumes are expected to have improved compared with the previous quarter, primarily due to improvements in Permian activity levels and higher production volumes in all of its main operating areas.
The third-quarter earnings might have benefited from strong domestic demand for PVC, but oversupply in the market remains a concern. A muted contribution is expected from OXY’s Midstream and Marketing in the third quarter, assuming the Waha to Gulf Coast natural gas spread continues to narrow from previous levels.
Occidental has been generating cash flow and utilizing the same to reduce debts, which is likely to have a positive impact on earnings. The company retired debts worth $7.5 billion, which lowered annual interest expenses by $410 million; undoubtedly, it will have a positive impact on earnings per share.
Occidental’s cost management initiatives have been yielding positive results and are likely to have improved margins with a positive impact on earnings.
