Berkshire Hathaway ຖື 16.3% ຂອງ Occidental Petroleum ຫຼັງຈາກການຊື້ທີ່ຜ່ານມາ

ຂະຫນາດຂອງຂໍ້ຄວາມ

Berkshire Hathaway

purchased more than $500 million of

Occidental Petroleum

stock recently and now holds a 16.3% stake in the big energy company, according to a regulatory filing late Wednesday.

Berkshire Hathaway

(ticker: BRK/A, BRK/B) CEO Warren Buffett began buying

Occidental Petroleum

(OXY) stock ຕົ້ນປີນີ້ and Berkshire now owns 152.7 million shares after purchasing a total of 9.5 million shares this past Friday and Wednesday. The stake is now worth $8.5 billion.

Occidental shares were down 3.6% Wednesday to $55.77 as oil prices continued to retreat, falling 1.7% to $104 a barrel based on West Texas intermediate crude. Buffett appears to be taking advantage of the recent weakness in oil prices and energy stocks to add to Berkshire’s holding.

As a holder of more than 10% of Occidental, Berkshire must disclose trades in the stock within two business days via a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Berkshire last purchases of Occidental stock occurred in May.

ການຊື້ສົດອາດຈະເຮັດໃຫ້ເກີດການຄາດເດົາວ່າ Berkshire ຈະເພີ່ມຕື່ມອີກໃນສະເຕກຂອງຕົນ ແລະບັນລຸ 20%, ຫຼືອາດຈະສະເຫນີລາຄາສໍາລັບບໍລິສັດທັງຫມົດ. ຢູ່ທີ່ 20%, Berkshire ອາດຈະໄດ້ຮັບການປິ່ນປົວບັນຊີທີ່ແຕກຕ່າງກັນສໍາລັບ Occidental ທີ່ເຮັດໃຫ້ມັນສະທ້ອນເຖິງອັດຕາສ່ວນຂອງລາຍໄດ້ຂອງ Occidental ໃນຜົນໄດ້ຮັບຂອງຕົນເອງ.

Along with other energy companies, Occidental trades cheaply, fetching just five times projected 2022 earnings as it capitalizes on strong oil and gas prices. Berkshire also holds a large stake in

Chevron

(CVX).
