Jim Cramer: Cheesecake Factory Stock Is 'Darn Cheap,' Buying This Tech Stock

JPMorgan's Arun Jayaram isn't sitting on the fence regarding oil giants <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">jockeying for investor attention</a>. He's got a clear favorite, and it's not Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>).
Jayaram remains bullish on ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), rating it Overweight with a $113 price target. This implies a 31% upside from its April 11 close of $86.39. 
He's sticking with a Neutral rating on Occidental Petroleum, despite a $52 target that still suggests a 38% upside from its $37.67 mark. But make no mistake — this isn't a tie.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44742353/occidental-reports-higher-q1-prices-as-tariff-tensions-shake-oil-market">Occidental Reports Higher Q1 Prices As Tariff Tensions Shake Oil Market</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ConocoPhillips: The Strategist's Pick</h2>
Since its 2016 strategy overhaul, ConocoPhillips has been a poster child for disciplined portfolio management. Jayaram credits the company's counter-cyclical dealmaking for sharpening its cost structure and boosting inventory resilience, especially in the Lower 48. 
He also highlights its exposure to LNG and ability to keep capital costs in check — traits that help it stand out in a sector known for overspending.
Even though the Marathon Oil (MRO) merger has drawn some skepticism from investors worried about inventory dilution, Jayaram argues ConocoPhillips's long-cycle investments and $6 billion buyback plan in 2025 keep it in elite company. 
He sees ConocoPhillips as a core E&amp;P holding with a cash-return mindset that rivals should envy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Occidental Petroleum: Debt-Heavy and Waiting on the Payoff</h2>
Occidental Petroleum, on the other hand, still feels the weight of its past. While the company has made strides in deleveraging after the Anadarko acquisition, Jayaram is cautious on its next act: digesting the $12 billion CrownRock deal, which leaned heavily on debt. With share buybacks shelved and asset sales not yet factored into JPMorgan's model, Jayaram doesn't see Occidental hitting its debt-reduction target until 2027.
While there's an upside to the stock — more than 38% if it reaches Jayaram's $52 target — the risk-reward skew isn't as attractive when compared to ConocoPhillips. He flags Occidental's above-average leverage and subpar capital returns versus peers at current strip pricing as reasons to stay neutral.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Verdict</h2>
If this were a heavyweight bout, Jayaram has ConocoPhillips winning by unanimous decision. While both stocks offer meaningful upside, ConocoPhillips&#8217;s lower capital requirements, superior cash return plan, and savvy portfolio management give it the edge in JPMorgan's playbook.
As Jayaram puts it, ConocoPhillips's not just riding the oil wave &#8211; it's shaping the tide. Occidental, meanwhile, is still working through the swells.

Scotiabank Downgrades Occidental Petroleum to Sector Perform, Announces $40 Price Target

The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NASDAQ">XLE</a>) is trading lower by 6.91% to $76.67 during Thursday&#8217;s session, as investors stepped back from Wednesday's risk-on rally and locked in profits, even as new inflation data came in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">cooler than expected</a>.
What To Know: After surging around 10% following President Donald Trump's surprise 90-day pause on additional tariffs for non-retaliating countries, XLE fell around 5.9% Thursday morning, mirroring a broader market cooldown.
XLE is a sector-focused exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of U.S. energy companies within the S&amp;P 500. Its top holdings include Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), Schlumberger NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>)—firms highly sensitive to commodity pricing, global demand expectations and geopolitical developments.

What Else: Despite the pullback, Thursday's macroeconomic backdrop was supportive. U.S. consumer prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44733390/march-inflation-rate-cools-far-more-than-expected-raises-hopes-for-near-term-fed-rate-cuts">unexpectedly declined in March</a>, with headline inflation falling to 2.4% year-over-year and core inflation easing to 2.8%, both below forecasts. 
The CPI even contracted 0.1% month-over-month, the lowest reading since May 2020, suggesting that tariff-related price pressures may be easing rather than accelerating.
However, energy markets faced mixed signals. A sharp 6.3% drop in gasoline prices weighed on the sector outlook, despite increased investor confidence in global trade stability following the tariff reprieve.
XLE's pullback Thursday also likely reflects a combination of profit taking and caution in a sector still tethered to volatile global dynamics, including Chinese demand, OPEC policy and currency fluctuations.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, XLE has a 52-week high of $98.97 and a 52-week low of $74.49.

Shares of energy companies are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) announced on Wednesday that it realized higher oil and gas production prices in the first quarter of 2025 than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">in the previous quarter</a>.
The company <a href="https://occidentalpetroleum.gcs-web.com/static-files/f2dd6055-d76f-4c4f-bfa9-587e784a7c95">reported</a> that its worldwide average realized oil price rose to $71.07 per barrel, up from $69.73 in the final quarter of 2024. Natural gas prices also significantly increased, averaging $2.30 per thousand cubic feet, compared to $1.26 previously.
The average realized price for natural gas liquids climbed approximately 19%, rising from $21.80 to $25.94 per barrel.

Last week, Exxon Mobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) projected modest first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/04/44644170/exxon-mobil-projects-sequential-earnings-bump-on-energy-price-swings-ahead-of-q1-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings growth</a>, driven by shifts in energy prices and industry margins. The company expects oil and gas price changes to increase Upstream earnings by up to $400 million, while improved industry margins could contribute an additional $300 million to $700 million to Energy Products. Timing effects are also anticipated to add up to $0.5 billion each to Upstream and Energy Products.
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a 90-day suspension of tariffs for non-retaliating countries. This sparked a broad market rally, boosted oil and gas stocks, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44724489/oil-gas-stocks-jump-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-for-u-s-allies-isolates-china" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lifted</a> the outlook for crude demand. 
According <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/10/china-trump-tariffs-live-updates.html">to</a> CNBC, the Trump administration imposed a steep 145% tariff on Chinese imports on Thursday, straining an already contentious relationship between Washington, D.C. and Beijing. 
WTI crude fell to $60 per barrel last week—its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44667862/oil-crashes-to-60-per-barrel-as-recession-fears-grow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowest</a> price since April 2021. Goldman Sachs raised U.S. recession odds to 45%. Meanwhile, OPEC+ unexpectedly hiked output, adding pressure and fueling industry criticism of the unpredictable trade policy.
Price Action: OXY shares were trading lower by 8.35% at $36.87 at the last check Thursday.

Occidental Reports Higher Q1 Prices As Tariff Tensions Shake Oil Market

U.S. stock futures were lower on Thursday after staging a stellar recovery on Wednesday after a tariff pause. Futures of major benchmark indices were down in premarket.
President Donald Trump attributed the tariff pause to negotiation efforts by roughly 75 non-retaliating nations in a Truth Social post.
Amid investor anxiety regarding trade barrier impacts on the economy, the investors will keep an eye on the upcoming Consumer Price Index data. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized last week that there is &#8220;no rush&#8221; to lower rates.
Economists&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44716504/sink-or-swim-why-this-weeks-inflation-report-is-crucial-for-markets">median forecast anticipates</a> a 2.6% annual increase in the overall CPI for March 2025, a moderation from February&#8217;s 2.8% and the smallest inflation figure since October 2024. Monthly price growth is projected to be a mere 0.1%. 
The core CPI, excluding volatile food and energy prices, is expected to ease slightly to a 3.0% year-over-year rate, compared to February&#8217;s 3.1%. However, the monthly core CPI is predicted to rise to 0.3%, an increase from the previous month&#8217;s 0.2% pace.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.29% and the two-year bond was at 3.85%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 79.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Charlie Bilello from Creative Planning said in an X post that the S&amp;P 500 logged its third-biggest one-day gain since 1950 on Wednesday.
After logging the biggest one-day gains in the past, the &#8220;Stocks moved substantially higher over the next 1, 3, 5 years every time,&#8221; he added.

Ryan Detrick from Carson Research cited historical data and concluded that after the S&amp;P 500 index gains over 5% in one day, the returns on the next day and in the next week are &#8220;fairly weak.&#8221;
On average, after such a gain, the S&amp;P 500 index falls by 0.7% the next day and by 1.7% in the next five days. However, the yearly gains after such a day are usually 26.9%.
