Occidental Petroleum Corp (OXY-N) has shown remarkable performance, gaining 58% in the first quarter and becoming one of the standout stocks in the S&P 500, primarily driven by high oil prices amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, experts caution that while the stock thrives during market rallies, it also tends to drop more sharply when the market declines, indicating a volatile nature. The company's affiliation with Berkshire Hathaway adds some credibility and investor interest, but outside this connection, the stock's prospects appear less compelling. Its strong holdings in the Permian Basin are acknowledged, but the shift from investing in green energy raises questions about long-term growth. Comparisons with Canadian peers suggest that the stock may trade at a premium, making it potentially less attractive than alternatives like CVE.
