The company reported adjusted EPS of $2.40, clearing the $1.85 consensus estimate by 29.80%, while revenue of $8.33 billion topped the $7.14 billion forecast by 16.68% and grew 31.8% year over year. The single biggest driver was a dramatic recovery in crude realizations, with worldwide realized crude oil prices climbing to $96.78 per barrel, lifting Oil and Gas segment pre-tax income to $2.85 billion from $1.02 billion in the prior quarter. Midstream and Marketing added further momentum, swinging to $1.34 billion in pre-tax income from a loss of $87.00 million in Q1. The quarter also produced $5.09 billion in operating cash flow, enabling Occidental to retire $1.90 billion in debt and advance toward its $10.00 billion principal target, with management projecting significant free cash flow growth through 2030 as the company continues its value-based development approach across the Permian and beyond.
Key Takeaways
