Occidental (OXY) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2023 results on Feb 14, after market close. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 32.58%.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider
Occidental’s fourth-quarter result is likely to be boosted by strong performance from its Permian Basin assets, despite hailstorms in the Delaware Basin that caused power interruptions early in October.
The ongoing share repurchases are likely to have a positive impact on fourth-quarter earnings. Repayment of outstanding debts might have also reduced capital servicing costs and boosted margins.
However, Occidental’s domestic operation expenses are likely to have increased in fourth-quarter to $10.50/Boe compared with $10.20/Boe in the third quarter. Property damage from Permian storms and Gulf of Mexico asset maintenance might have resulted in this increase in expenses.
Q4 Expectations
Occidental expects total production of 1,206-1,246 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOE/d) and 571-591 MBOE/d output from Permian Resources.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total production is pegged at 1,237.7 MBOE/D. For natural gas, the Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at 1,819 thousand cubic feet per day.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share and total revenues is pinned at 74 cents and $7.14 billion, suggesting a decline of 54.1% and 14.3% from the year-ago levels, respectively.
