Citigroup Maintains Neutral on Occidental Petroleum, Raises Price Target to $44

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) shares are trading lower on Friday after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45466539/occidental-and-adnocs-xrg-agree-to-evaluate-joint-venture-to-develop-south-texas-direct-air-captur" rel="noreferrer noopener">the company announced</a> that it has signed a framework agreement with XRG, the investment arm of ADNOC, to explore a potential joint venture aimed at building a Direct Air Capture facility in South Texas.
Under the agreement, XRG may invest as much as $500 million in a plant designed to extract 500,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually.
The signing took place during U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s official visit to the United Arab Emirates, with Occidental CEO Vicki Hollub and ADNOC Group CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber leading the ceremony.

This initiative follows the companies&#8217; broader interest in developing carbon management projects across the U.S. and the UAE, formalized through a memorandum of understanding in 2023.
The proposed DAC facility would be located on King Ranch in Kleberg County, Texas. The site, spanning about 165 square miles, has the geological capacity to store an estimated 3 billion tons of CO₂.
The initial plant, now in front-end engineering and design, is expected to handle 500,000 tons annually. It will be positioned near existing infrastructure along the Gulf Coast, optimizing carbon transport and storage logistics.
The U.S. Department of Energy previously committed up to $650 million to support the development of the South Texas DAC Hub.
Occidental has also made headway with its first DAC facility, STRATOS, in West Texas, which is on track to become operational in 2025.
&#8220;We are proud to advance our decades-long partnership with ADNOC and XRG on our South Texas DAC Hub, which we believe will deliver game-changing technology to support U.S. energy independence and global goals,&#8221; said Hollub.
Khaled Salmeen, XRG&#8217;s COO, added that the agreement highlights XRG&#8217;s focus on strategic U.S. investments in transformative, low-carbon energy projects.
Price Action: OXY shares are trading lower by 1.49% to $42.73 at last check on Friday.

During the pre-market trading session on Thursday, Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) fell 2.56%, Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) declined 2.39%, while Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) fell 1.50% as oil prices saw a considerable drop. This decline is attributed to the potential U.S.-Iran nuclear deal and a sudden increase in U.S. crude oil inventories, triggering concerns of oversupply.
What Happened: Oil prices plunged by more than $2, spurred by the prospects of a nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran that could result in relaxed sanctions. At the same time, an unexpected rise in U.S. crude oil inventories last week has intensified oversupply worries. U.S. crude oil inventories rose by 3.5 million barrels to 441.8 million last week, contrary to analysts&#8217; expectations of a 1.1 million-barrel decrease, according to the Energy Information Administration, reported Reuters.
Brent crude futures fell $2.48, or 3.75%, to $63.61 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures dropped $2.66, or 4.18%, to $60.53 at 0920 GMT.
On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. was nearing a final agreement on a nuclear deal with Iran, stating that Tehran had &#8220;sort of&#8221; agreed to the terms. This came after an Iranian official told NBC News on Wednesday that Iran was prepared to make a deal with the U.S. if economic sanctions were lifted.
 John Evans, analyst at PVM Oil, stated, &#8220;The crude build in the EIA Inventory Report has chased down the prices, and the move is accelerated by what appears to be a cooling of animosity in the US/Iran nuclear negotiations.&#8221;
At the same time, the International Energy Agency raised its average oil demand growth forecast for 2025 to 740,000 barrels per day—an increase of 20,000 bpd from its previous report—citing stronger economic growth projections and lower oil prices as factors driving increased consumption.

Why It Matters: Earlier this month, economist Peter Schiff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/05/45158813/trump-may-be-getting-lower-oil-prices-but-its-not-due-to-drill-baby-drill-peter-schiff-says-its-more-of-a-chill-baby-chill-scene-out-there">stated </a>that the decline in oil prices is less about a sudden market flood and more about a warning sign for a faltering global economy. 
He argued that oil prices are dropping as global trade is stalling and recession fears are throttling demand. This context provides a broader perspective on the current oil price situation, suggesting that larger economic factors are at play. 
Notably, the International Energy Agency (IEA) raised its average oil demand forecast for 2025 but expects global oil demand growth to slow to 650,000 barrels per day for the rest of the year, down from 990,000 bpd growth seen in the first quarter, due to economic challenges and record electric vehicle sales.

JPMorgan analyst Arun Jayaram anticipates a neutral market reaction to Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OXY/analyst-ratings">earnings</a>.
Jayaram explained in a Thursday research note that positive results, debt reduction, and cost-saving initiatives were partly offset by potential risks to full-year guidance related to U.S. operating expenses and Gulf of Anadarko (GoA) volumes.
Jayaram&#8217;s forecast comes after Occidental reported adjusted EPS of 87 cents per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 77 cents and revenue of $6.84 billion, which missed the analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45290926/occidental-beats-q1-profit-forecast-slashes-debt-by-23-billion-year-to-date" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of $6.89 billion</a>.
The company sees production of 1,377 – 1,417 Mboed in the second quarter and 1,390 – 1,440 Mboed&nbsp;<a href="https://www.oxy.com/siteassets/documents/investors/quarterly-earnings/oxy1q25conferencecallslides.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in&nbsp;</a>FY25.
Occidental also slashed the mid-point of 2025 capital guidance by $200 million and domestic operating costs by $150 million, on continued operational efficiency gains and schedule optimization <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in the Permian and Gulf of America</a>.
So far, second-quarter 2025 guidance slightly trails JPMorgan expectations.
Jayaram notes that Occidental anticipates total production volumes in the GoA to reach 142 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d) for 2025.
Achieving this target would necessitate a significant increase in production during the second half of the year to approximately 158 MBoe/d, which is about 26% higher than the projected first-half 2025 average of 126 MBoe/d, adds the analyst.
Jayaram considers this a challenging goal, especially given the reduced capital allocation to offshore projects.
The analyst estimates the second-quarter total production of 1,413 Mboed (vs. street view of 1,420 Mboed) and FY25 production of 1,415 Mboed (same as consensus).
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Texas Capital Funds Trust Texas Capital Texas Oil Index ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OILT#NYSE">OILT</a>) and&nbsp;First Trust Nasdaq Oil &amp; Gas ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXN#NASDAQ">FTXN</a>).
Price Action: OXY shares are up 6.11% at $41.40 at the last check on Thursday.

Neutral Territory For Occidental? JPMorgan Weighs Strong Q1 Against Future Challenges

U.S. stocks rallied Thursday after the Trump administration signed its first major trade agreement with the United Kingdom, igniting optimism about further global deals — especially with China — and lifting investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">appetite for riskier assets.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.3% to close at 5,700, led by gains in technology stocks. The Russell 2000 soared 2.1%, outperforming larger-cap counterparts and fully recovering the losses triggered by the April 2 tariff announcement.
Under the deal, the U.S. slashed tariffs on UK-made vehicles from 25% to 10%, granting British carmakers a 100,000-vehicle quota. In return, the UK reduced tariffs on American beef to near-zero levels and pledged to purchase $10 billion worth of Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft. Trump confirmed that the 10% tariff would remain the baseline for now, though he suggested other nations with large trade surpluses should expect higher rates.
During a press briefing, Trump hinted at the &#8220;biggest tax cuts in history&#8221; and urged investors to act: "You better go out and buy stock. This country will be like a rocket ship," he said.
The president also responded to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who noted a day earlier he hadn't been invited to meet with Trump. "I could call him from a meeting, but it's like talking to a wall," Trump said. 
"He's always too late [in cutting interest rates]. But in this case, it's not going to matter that much because our country is so strong."
Markets reflected that strength. The U.S. dollar rallied sharply as the new trade deal and reduced economic uncertainty boosted confidence. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) jumped to its highest level since April 11, climbing over 1% against the Japanese yen.
Treasury yields rose across the curve, with the 10-year yield adding 7 basis points to reach 4.34%.
In commodities, gold prices dropped as investors rotated out of safe havens. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) fell 1.5%, trimming its weekly gains. Oil prices rose 3.5%, with West Texas Intermediate crude topping $60 per barrel.
Crypto markets erupted higher. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) broke above $100,000 for the first time since February, rising 4.1%. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) surged 13%, while Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) gained 10%.

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.
