JPMorgan analyst Arun Jayaram downgraded Occidental (OXY) to Underweight from Neutral with a price target of $44, down from $51. The firm adjusted ratings in the exploration and production space as part of its 2026 outlook. JPMorgan sees supply side risks for oil and liquids, but says the “long-awaited demand inflection for natural gas has finally arrived.” The magnitude of the crude oil oversupply, plus a potential end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2026, is a “double whammy” for lower oil prices, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
