From AI:

“Strong profitability: Before the sale announcement, OxyChem was a highly profitable segment. A report published just before the deal estimated that OxyChem had generated over a quarter of Occidental's segment-level profit before tax over the previous eight years. In the first quarter of 2025, OxyChem exceeded guidance with a pre-tax adjusted income of $215 million.”
