StockOccidental Petroleum Corporation
One email when a drop — in price or in valuation — is historically rare for OXY. Otherwise we stay quiet.
Bigger than its usual dip. Not yet rare.
Occidental Petroleum Corporation is 15.1% off its high — deeper than its 5.5% average pullback, but it has been through 141 drawdowns before. Not historically significant yet — we'll say so if that changes.
But down is not the same as cheap: Occidental Petroleum Corporation's P/S Severity Score is 1.6 — its valuation sits in or above its typical range.
