Occidental Petroleum Deal Impact and Buffett Catalyst
24 days ago
Bloomberg cross-asset reporter Emily Grafeo
"Occidental agreed to sell its OxyChem petrochemical unit to Berkshire Hathaway for about $9.7 billion in cash. The sale was below the $10 billion that had been expected."
Occidental Petroleum experienced a 7% drop amid deal news regarding the sale of its OxyChem unit. Although the lower-than-expected price contributed to the decline, the involvement of Warren Buffett, a longtime shareholder who is re-entering the buying process, introduces a potential long-term stabilizing catalyst.
