-- 独立研究机构CFRA向提供了以下研究报告。CFRA分析师的观点总结如下:西方石油公司(OXY)第一季度调整后每股收益为1.06美元,高于市场普遍预期的0.87美元,超出预期0.47美元。其产量为142.6万桶油当量/日,高于预期,但环比下降3.7%。二叠纪盆地贡献了78.7万桶油当量/日(占总产量的55%)。由于液体价格上涨,油价上涨18%至每桶69.91美元,天然气凝液价格上涨14%至每桶18.99美元,油气税前收入从第四季度的7亿美元增至10亿美元。然而,由于二叠纪盆地的拥堵,国内天然气价格下跌10%至每千立方英尺1.01美元。公司资产负债表取得显著进展,偿还71亿美元债务后,本金债务降至133亿美元,并朝着100亿美元的目标迈进,同时现金增至38亿美元。尽管正值周期低谷,但剥离OxyChem业务仍为公司提供了财务灵活性。鉴于自2月28日伊朗冲突爆发以来原油价格持续走高,我们预计短期内自由现金流将进一步改善,扣除营运资本前的自由现金流将达到17亿美元,而资本支出为16亿美元。
