Did OXY Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
Occidental Petroleum delivered a strong third quarter, posting adjusted earnings of $0.64 per diluted share on revenue of $6.62 billion, as a sharp sequential recovery in production volumes and crude prices lifted results well above the prior quarter's adjusted income of $396.00 million. The primary engine behind the rebound was the company's upstream portfolio, where total production of 1,465 Mboed cleared the high end of guidance, with Permian Basin output alone reaching 800 Mboed and average worldwide realized crude prices climbing 2% sequentially to $64.78 per barrel. Operating cash flow reached $2.79 billion, supporting $1.30 billion in debt repayments that brought the principal balance to $20.80 billion. The quarter also carried significant strategic weight, as Occidental announced the sale of its OxyChem unit to Berkshire Hathaway, a transaction management expects to accelerate balance sheet improvement and redirect capital toward higher-return oil and gas opportunities, reinforcing the company's longer-term focus on core upstream growth.

Forward Guidance & Outlook
Occidental is pursuing the sale of OxyChem to Berkshire Hathaway, which management views as transformative for the company's strategic direction. The proceeds are expected to further strengthen the balance sheet, accelerate shareholder returns, and unlock high-return opportunities in the core oil and gas business. The company continues to prioritize debt reduction, having lowered its principal debt balance to $20.8 billion.
