Is Occidental Petroleum Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Occidental Petroleum Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Occidental Petroleum Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation's P/E ratio

Occidental Petroleum Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 13x. In other words, Occidental Petroleum Corporation shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation's PEG ratio

Occidental Petroleum Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.5433. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Occidental Petroleum Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 25.88% of net profits

Recently Occidental Petroleum Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Occidental Petroleum Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Occidental Petroleum Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.84 per share.

While Occidental Petroleum Corporation's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Occidental Petroleum Corporation may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 14 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Occidental Petroleum Corporation's shares ever split?

Occidental Petroleum Corporation's shares were split on a 10000:9983 basis on 24 February 2016 . So if you had owned 9983 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Occidental Petroleum Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 0.2% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Occidental Petroleum Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Occidental Petroleum Corporation's share price.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Occidental Petroleum Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $45.79 up to $70.3038. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Occidental Petroleum Corporation's is 1.608. This would suggest that Occidental Petroleum Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
