What the KC Score says about Occidental Petroleum
Occidental Petroleum (OXY) currently carries a KC Score of 64 out of 100 — a grade of B. In plain terms: firm trend — momentum and price structure are constructive. The score is a transparent, rules-based read of roughly the last twelve months of Occidental Petroleum's daily closing prices. It describes momentum, trend, range position and stability — it is not a buy or sell recommendation, and it knows nothing about Occidental Petroleum's valuation, earnings or news. At the last hourly update the stock traded near USD56.86, down 2.0% on the session, sitting 63% of the way up its 52-week range and about 15.7% below its 52-week high.
Momentum scores 61 out of 100. Over the past three months Occidental Petroleum has moved 15.8%, and -13.0% over six months — a mixed picture across the two windows. On trend (64/100), the price is below its 50-day moving average and above its 200-day average. A price caught between its short and long averages is what the model treats as a transition, rather than a clean trend.
Range position scores 63/100: at 63% of its 52-week band, Occidental Petroleum is trading around the middle of where it has been over the last year. Stability scores 71/100, off annualised volatility of about 36% — moderate for a single stock. Lower volatility means steadier day-to-day movement, though it is never a guarantee against a large fall.
For a long-term investor, one stock's score matters far less than the system around it: keeping costs low, staying diversified, and giving compounding time to work. Treat OXY's reading as a single input, not a verdict, and compare it against other Energy names rather than in isolation. The math always wins — a low-cost, broadly diversified portfolio held for years reliably beats reacting to any one score, including this one.
