Price vs. value if growth stopped today

A cautious baseline, not a price target: what the shares may support if normalized owner earnings simply hold steady.

A discount this large is often a warning rather than a bargain — the market may expect earnings to keep falling. See the revenue trend above.

How to read this

What today’s price assumes: owner earnings shrinking ~2%/yr over 5 years. The estimate assumes owner earnings stay flat (0% growth).

We solve for the constant annual change in owner earnings that would make the five-year zero-growth estimate equal today’s price. This keeps the existing model inputs and calculation unchanged; it is an expectations lens, not a forecast.

This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. OXY revenue fell in each of the three most recent year-over-year FY comparisons, so this estimate is flagged as unreliable for this company.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 239% above the zero-growth estimate across 48 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

20 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

Across the filed record, revenue grew from $18.8B (FY2007) to $21.6B (FY2025) — about 0.8% a year compounded over 18 years.

The balance sheet carried $22.4B of total debt in FY2025 against $3.5B of owner earnings — roughly 6.4 years of owner earnings to retire it all. Balance-Sheet Safety scores it 36/100.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.

Insider activity

Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”

These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.

The insider-filing service is temporarily unavailable, so no partial or guessed answer is shown for OXY.

Common questions about OXY

Does OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2025 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (OXY) 57.3 out of 100 — a Shallow moat. The five questions behind that score begin at 20% each; if exactly one genuinely lacks data, the other four weights are renormalized and disclosed. revenue and EPS trend 27, pricing power 97, returns on capital not measurable from the filings, balance-sheet safety 36, capital allocation 69.
Is OXY trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $64.27 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $57.30, that is 11% below value if growth stopped today. The model also publishes a capped-growth comparison, but the zero-growth estimate is the cautious baseline. It assumes trailing owner earnings persist and is unreliable for declining businesses. This is an educational estimate from primary SEC filings, not intrinsic value as a fact or investment advice.
How has OXY's Moat Score changed over time?
The record logs 16 readings since Jul 17, 2026; the latest reads 57.3 out of 100 (shallow moat). No tier changes on record yet. (Methodology or normalizer upgrades on Jul 20, 2026, Jul 23, 2026, Jul 26, 2026 re-based the score; readings across versions aren't compared.) The history is append-only — readings are only ever added, never rewritten.
