$50/bl breakeven achieved ahead of schedule

OXY has successfully delivered an ambitious plan to achieve cash flow breakeven in a $40/bl scenario, ahead of schedule. The Permian Unconventional business deserves accolades as the key driver for success. With ~$5bn extra cash to hand versus plan, short cycle investments in unconventionals offering >75% well-level returns, plus a $2bn share buy-back, are sensible uses of incremental capital. We remain Neutral with a raised price target of $83 (from $67).
