Warren Buffett's Berkshire buys more Occidental after 30% sell-off from record high
Published On Feb 12, 2025, 8:49 AM
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has increased its stake in Occidental Petroleum following a 30% drop in the stock price from its all-time high. Berkshire purchased over 763,000 shares for approximately $35.7 million. Occidental's stock has been adversely affected by a decline in oil prices, falling 32% from its peak last April. Berkshire, which is already Occidental's largest investor with a 28.2% stake, has also invested in preferred stock and holds warrants to buy additional shares. Buffett's interest in Occidental stems from its investment in carbon capture and the company's stability amid market fluctuations.

This investment pattern can be seen as a strong buy signal, particularly for investors looking for opportunities in undervalued energy stocks.
