Occidental (OXY) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 2 after market close. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative surprise of 16.15%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Occidental’s second-quarter production volume is expected to be the lowest of the year due to the timing of its domestic onshore activity and the optimization of its maintenance schedule to reduce planned downtime in the Gulf of Mexico. Second-quarter domestic operating cost is expected to increase due to ongoing maintenance work.
During the second quarter, the contribution of oil to total production will be lower compared with the historical quarter due to a lower contribution from the Gulf of Mexico and Algerian assets. The drop in commodity prices might have impacted earnings.
Occidental’s second-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from the ongoing share repurchases. Repayment of outstanding debts might have also reduced capital servicing costs and boosted margins.
Expectations
Occidental expects second-quarter total production of 1,156-1,196 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOE/d) and 558-578 MBOE/d output from Permian Resources.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter crude oil production is pegged at 616 thousand barrels of oil per day. For natural gas, the Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at 1,770 thousand cubic feet per day. T he Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share and total revenues is pinned at 70 cents per share and $7.54 billion, respectively, reflecting a year-over-year decline of 77.8% and 36.7%, respectively.
