Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value.
Occidental Petroleum's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Occidental Petroleum shares trade at around 5x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Occidental Petroleum's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.2175. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Occidental Petroleum's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Occidental Petroleum's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $20.7 billion (£17.2 billion).

Dividend payout ratio: 6.74% of net profits
Occidental Petroleum has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.78% of its share value annually.
Occidental Petroleum has paid out, on average, around 6.74% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.78% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 0.78% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Occidental Petroleum's case, that would currently equate to about $0.4 per share.
While Occidental Petroleum's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
Occidental Petroleum's most recent dividend payout was on 17 January 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 December 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Occidental Petroleum's shares have ranged in value from as little as $37.2436 up to $76.8176. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Occidental Petroleum's is 1.826. This would suggest that Occidental Petroleum's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
