OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORP /DE/ 8-K

What Happened

• On January 20, 2026, Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (Item 2.02) to furnish management’s summary of factors it believes will impact the company’s fourth quarter 2025 results (the “Earnings Considerations”). The summary is included as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K. The report was signed by Christopher O. Champion, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer and Controller.

Key Details

• Date filed: January 20, 2026.
• Disclosure type: Earnings considerations for Q4 2025 furnished as Exhibit 99.1 (Item 2.02).
• Legal note: The information is furnished (not “filed”) for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and generally is not incorporated by reference into other filings.
• Signature: Report signed by Christopher O. Champion (VP, Chief Accounting Officer & Controller).

Why It Matters

• This 8-K gives investors management’s view of material factors that could affect Occidental’s fourth-quarter 2025 earnings and quarterly results, which may help assess near-term revenue and performance drivers ahead of formal earnings releases.
• Because the material is furnished rather than filed, it has different legal treatment (it’s not deemed “filed” under Section 18), so investors should treat it as company guidance/information rather than a formal, filed financial statement.
