Why now
Oil & Gas E&P · market cap $60.1b. 11% off the 52-week high of $67.45. 25 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $68.36 (implying +14% upside).
Moat
Net margin 34% is exceptional — pricing-power territory rare outside premium software, branded staples, and specialty pharma. ROE 18% is above 15% — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. $60.1b market cap gives the company enough scale to absorb fixed costs that subscale competitors can't, without yet being so large that growth has to come from acquisition.
Risk
Jurisdictional + permitting risk — mining and extraction operations concentrate exposure to political stability, royalty regimes, and environmental review timelines that can stall production for years.
Horizon
1-3 yr $68.36 (25-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $100.09 at ~11% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $148.47 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY): score, valuation & FAQ

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY) is an Oil & Gas E&P company that scores 61.7 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are D/E (B+). On valuation, OXY sits about 16% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 0% next year, rising to 4% a year by year ten.

Is OXY a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores OXY 61.7 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by D/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Occidental Petroleum Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does OXY score 61.7 on Bull Rankings?

The score leans on quality at 74.1 out of 100, with growth the weakest pillar at 50.0 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. OXY earns its highest marks on D/E (B+). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so OXY is measured against Oil & Gas E&P peers, not against the market as a whole.

Is OXY overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $60.11, OXY sits about 16% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 0% next year, rising to 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 17.1x P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in OXY?

Jurisdictional + permitting risk — mining and extraction operations concentrate exposure to political stability, royalty regimes, and environmental review timelines that can stall production for years.
