Why is Occidental Petroleum stock slipping today?

Occidental Petroleum (OXY) stock fell 0.3% after-hours despite beating Q3 2026 earnings estimates ($1.91 vs. $1.45). Pre-tax income declined due to lower crude prices and operational issues. Production was 1.427 million barrels per day, above guidance but below Q2. The company announced CO2 supply agreements and reaffirmed its 2030 cash flow target. The broader market was flat, and oil prices faced headwinds.
