Q3 2026 earnings recap
Occidental cut principal debt to $10 billion as strong cash generation strengthened its balance sheet, even though quarterly profit eased from the previous quarter.
- Adjusted profit per share was $1.91, down from $2.4 in the second quarter, while accounting profit was $1.61 per share.
- Net sales rose 19% from a year earlier to $6.57 billion, but fell from $8.07 billion in the previous quarter as realized oil prices weakened.
- The company generated $2.78 billion of free cash flow before working-capital changes and repaid $1.8 billion of debt during the quarter.
- Production averaged 1.43 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, above the midpoint of guidance as Permian and Rockies output offset Gulf disruptions.
- Management aims to add more than $4 billion in annual sustainable cash flow by 2030, but lower oil prices could reduce money available for shareholder returns.
- Shares were about 0.3% above the November 9 close after results, while the regular-session chart remained below its 20-day and 50-day averages.
The November 10 results call is the next opportunity to assess how reaching the debt milestone changes spending plans and future capital returns.
