CEO Greg Abel revealed that data centers now account for 8% of demand in Iowa's energy market, with BHE planning $33.5 billion in capital expenditures through 2026 to expand power generation and transmission.

The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights ConocoPhillips, Occidental and National Fuel Gas
The Zacks Oil & Gas US Integrated industry faces headwinds from high crude prices hurting refining operations, slowing production growth as companies prioritize shareholder returns, and increasing renewable energy demand. However, ConocoPhillips, Occidental, and National Fuel Gas are positioned to navigate these challenges through low-cost operations, efficiency improvements, and diversified business models.
Is Occidental Petroleum a Bargain or a Value Trap Right Now?
Occidental Petroleum trades 10% below its 52-week high. While near-term oil price headwinds (Strait of Hormuz reopening, Venezuelan output increases) present downside risks, the analyst believes OXY is a long-term bargain. Shell's CEO expects oil prices to rise over 5-10 years, and Occidental projects $4 billion in annual sustainable cash flow improvement by 2030, positioning it well for higher future prices.
Berkshire's Cash Pile Fell From $400 Billion to $365.5 Billion as Greg Abel Became a Net Buyer for the First Time in 3 Years. What Does That Signal for Investors?
Berkshire Hathaway ended its 14-quarter streak as a net seller of equities in Q2 2026, purchasing $23.5 billion in stocks while selling only $3.7 billion, reducing cash reserves from $400 billion to $365.5 billion. Under new CEO Greg Abel, the company has made strategic portfolio adjustments including significant stake increases in Alphabet through a $10 billion private placement, acquisitions of Occidental Petroleum's chemicals business and Taylor Morrison homebuilder, and increased share buybacks. These moves signal management's confidence in identifying attractive investment opportunities while maintaining a fortress balance sheet with over $360 billion in liquidity.
This Buffett Oil Stock Is Quietly Outperforming Chevron Under Greg Abel. Is It Worth Buying Now?
Occidental Petroleum has surged 36% since Greg Abel became Berkshire Hathaway's CEO in January, outperforming Chevron and the S&P 500. The rally was driven by U.S.-Iran tensions and crude oil price spikes. However, recent muted performance raises questions about sustainability. Future gains depend heavily on another crude oil price surge, particularly when China replenishes its strategic reserves, making Oxy a more volatile bet compared to Chevron's more stable outlook.
