2024 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net income (loss) attributable to Occidental – Dividends on common stock – Dividends on preferred stock) ÷ (Net income (loss) attributable to Occidental – Dividends on preferred stock)
= (3,056 – 814 – 679) ÷ (3,056 – 679)
= 0.66

2 Profit margin = 100 × (Net income (loss) attributable to Occidental – Dividends on preferred stock) ÷ Net sales
= 100 × (3,056 – 679) ÷ 26,725
= 8.89%

3 Asset turnover = Net sales ÷ Total assets
= 26,725 ÷ 85,445
= 0.31

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 85,445 ÷ 34,159
= 2.50

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.86 × 15.73% × 0.35 × 3.07
= 14.65%

Dividend growth rate (g) implied by Gordon growth model

g = 100 × (P0 × r – D0) ÷ (P0 + D0)
= 100 × ($39.71 × 20.90% – $0.88) ÷ ($39.71 + $0.88)
= 18.28%

where:
P0 = current price of share of Occidental Petroleum Corp. common stock
D0 = the last year dividends per share of Occidental Petroleum Corp. common stock
r = required rate of return on Occidental Petroleum Corp. common stock

1 g1 14.65%
2 g2 15.56%
3 g3 16.47%
4 g4 17.37%
5 and thereafter g5 18.28%

where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model
g5 is implied by Gordon growth model
g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpolation between g1 and g5

Calculations

g2 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.65% + (18.28% – 14.65%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 15.56%

g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.65% + (18.28% – 14.65%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 16.47%

g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 14.65% + (18.28% – 14.65%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 17.37%
