Core Insights - Berkshire Hathaway is acquiring Occidental Petroleum's chemical division, OxyChem, for $9.7 billion, marking a significant move as Warren Buffett prepares to transition leadership to Vice Chair Greg Abel in January [2][3]. Acquisition Details - The acquisition of OxyChem, which produces chemicals like chlorine and vinyl chloride, is seen as a strategic fit alongside Berkshire's existing portfolio, particularly with Lubrizol, acquired in 2011 for $9 billion [5][6]. - OxyChem generated $213 million in pretax earnings for Occidental in the second quarter, a decrease from nearly $300 million the previous year [7].

Future Outlook - The OxyChem deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, further solidifying Berkshire's position in the chemical sector [11].

Core Viewpoint - Occidental Petroleum is divesting its chemicals arm OxyChem to Berkshire Hathaway for $9.7 billion to reduce debt after significant acquisitions [1][5].

Group 2: Financial Implications - Analysts have expressed concerns that the sale could negatively impact Occidental's free cash flow growth in the coming years, as OxyChem was anticipated to contribute significantly to expansion [2]. - The transaction price of $9.7 billion is viewed as low compared to previous estimates of OxyChem's value at $12 billion [2]. - Occidental plans to use $6.5 billion of the proceeds from the sale to reduce its debt, aiming to bring total principal debt below the $15 billion target set after the CrownRock acquisition [9]. Group 3: Strategic Focus - The divestment indicates Occidental's strategic refocus on its core oil and gas business, which accounted for 75% of its total earnings last year [10]. - CEO Vicki Hollub stated that the sale would enable the company to "unlock 20-plus years of low-cost resource runway" in oil and gas [11].
