Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) shares fell 3.37% to $39.24 on Monday, tracking a broader decline in oil-related stocks after OPEC+ announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">significant output</a> increase. 
What To Know: OPEC+ plans to boost production by 411,000 barrels per day in June, adding to similar increases in April and May. The combined rise of 960,000 bpd reverses nearly half of the voluntary supply cuts enacted since 2022.
The move, largely driven by Saudi Arabia, aims to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45194998/saudi-arabias-oil-power-play-jolts-markets-can-diamondback-and-rivals-survive-the-squeeze">enforce production discipline</a> within the group and regain market share from overproducing members like Iraq and Kazakhstan. 
However, the market reacted negatively, with WTI crude futures dropping nearly 2% to just under $57 per barrel—well below the $65 threshold many U.S. oil producers, including Occidental, need to sustain profitability.
What Else: Occidental is set to report first-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OXY/earnings">earnings</a> after the market closes Wednesday, with analysts expecting EPS of 74 cents on revenue of $6.97 billion. 
The sharp drop in crude prices may raise investor concerns about margins and future cash flow, putting added pressure on the stock ahead of the results.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy OXY Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Occidental Petroleum&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, OXY has a 52-week high of $65.78 and a 52-week low of $34.78.

Editor&#8217;s note: This article has been updated to remove a reference to Ken Griffin&#8217;s political affiliations.
Ken Griffin, founder of hedge‑fund giant Citadel LLC, told Stanford business students that career growth hinges on surrounding oneself with sharper minds, not basking as "the smartest person in the room."
What Happened: In a "View From the Top" interview posted this week, Griffin recalled college days cold‑calling Bear Stearns traders for tips on convertible bonds and said that habit still guides him.
"If you're the smartest person in the room, you have so screwed up your Stanford MBA," he warned, adding, "You don't want to be the smartest person in the room." Griffin praised Citadel's brain trust, noting a Europe‑based employee who cracked "a tough math problem" overnight after others were stumped.

Griffin, 56, built Citadel from a Harvard dorm‑room trading venture in 1990 into a multistrategy powerhouse managing about $65 billion in investment capital and employing more than 3,100 people. Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/ken-griffin/">pegs his net worth</a> at $42.5 billion, making him one of America's richest financiers.

He told students their first job choice should be "a learning environment," stressing that lessons flow from colleagues, clients, even rivals. American business culture, he said, is "generationally kind and generous," and executives have a duty to pass knowledge forward. "It's part of the magic of America that we share insights across generations," Griffin said.
Citadel's own culture of constant learning has paid off: its flagship Wellington fund gained 1.3 percent in April despite volatile markets, reveals a WSJ <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/citadel-sidesteps-aprils-market-swoons-to-post-gains-across-its-funds-6cf7969e">report</a>, lifting year‑to‑date returns back into positive territory. Griffin urged the future MBAs to replicate that edge by seeking rooms where they can keep asking, "Explain this — what do you think about that?"
Why It Matters: Griffin recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44972192/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-urges-investors-to-tread-water-and-not-drown-amid-nonsensical-trade-policies-we-put-that-brand-at-risk">voiced his apprehensions</a> about the current market conditions, where he indicated that the market is shrinking too rapidly to generate substantial returns, stating, "There are no great opportunities." Griffin is among several affluent individuals who have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44660599/stanley-druckenmiller-on-x-i-do-not-support-tariffs-exceeding-10-as-trump-digs-heels-on-trade-policy">expressed doubts</a> about the reasoning and execution of the recent tariffs.
Citadel largely avoided market turmoil, with its flagship fund down just 0.9% in Q1, compared to the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s decline of over 4%. Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) gained 1.25% over the past month while SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose 1.31% during the same period.

Above Food Ingredients Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABVE#NASDAQ">ABVE</a>) (&quot;Above Food&quot; and the &quot;Company&quot;) today releases the Palm Global Technologies (&quot;Palm Global&quot;) announced launch of Palm Promax Investments (&quot;Palm Promax&quot;) <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4419921-1&amp;h=3620235721&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.palmpromax.com%2F&amp;a=www.palmpromax.com">www.palmpromax.com</a>, a strategic joint venture between Palm Global and Abu Dhabi conglomerate, Promax United LLC (&quot;Promax UAE&quot;).&nbsp;
Palm Promax seeks to redefine the global financial landscape through the development of next generation investment products and platforms powered by Palm Global&#39;s advanced blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Web-3 technologies. Its vision is built upon two primary objectives, the creation of the world&#39;s leading digital fixed-income platform and the establishment of the world&#39;s most globally recognized stablecoin digital asset. Both initiatives are anchored by the tokenization of over $1.5 trillion in AA and AAA-rated Real-World Assets and backed by sovereign partnerships in more than fifteen nations.
Underpinned by Promax UAE&#39;s unparalleled access to Real-World Assets and powered by Palm Global&#39;s highly scalable AI driven DeFi ecosystem, Palm Promax has launched with an initial injection of approximately $350 billion in U.S. gold-based assets onto the joint venture&#39;s balance sheet. These assets serve to securitize and anchor its fixed income platform and stablecoin. Through Palm Global&#39;s 30% ownership stake in Palm Promax and its underlying assets, Palm Global will recognize its share of the substantial high-margin revenues, earnings and cash flows generated by the joint venture&#39;s operations.
Promax UAE owns a number of semi-government subsidiary companies, which provide strategic financial access through their direct engagement with central banks globally. This is expected to facilitate the widespread adoption of Palm Promax&#39;s gold-backed stablecoin. With more than fifteen sovereign partnerships already committed to the project, the stablecoin is also designed to address challenges faced by nations whose domestic currencies are not widely accepted for international trade, providing a viable solution to facilitate global commerce.
Chairman of Palm Global, Peter Knez, commented:&nbsp;&quot;As the global financial landscape undergoes a seismic shift and the digital world enters a new paradigm, with the United States and other nations introducing regulatory frameworks and strengthening oversight of cryptocurrencies and tokenization, investor confidence in digital assets continues to grow.
Meanwhile, trillions of dollars in private assets, gold, real estate, infrastructure remain trapped in illiquidity, inaccessible to investors and undervalued by markets. With Palm Promax&#39;s unique combination of institutional expertise, highly scalable artificial intelligence and cutting-edge blockchain technologies, we are poised to unlock this vast potential, not merely as participants in the financial transformation but to lead as its architects.
I am thrilled that, through our partnership with Promax UAE, Palm Promax is positioned to become the world&#39;s leading provider of tokenized asset-backed fixed-income funds, stablecoins, and investment platforms. With assets collateralized by gold, AA- and AAA-rated instruments, distinguished by strong histories of positive cash flow, our products and platforms will gain global recognition, enabling us to compete directly with government treasuries and bonds while offering competitive yields. This, I believe, will be truly transformative for the fixed-income investment market and the broader financial sector.
Our distinct advantages have already attracted the support of numerous sovereign wealth funds and central banks, including our esteemed partner, the Central Bank of the UAE. As part of our strategic vision, we are set to launch what we anticipate will be the world&#39;s largest asset-backed stablecoin. This initiative is designed to empower developing economies, including the fifteen African nations we are already working with, by providing a currency that is freely tradable and globally accepted, significantly strengthening their economic standing.
Beyond conventional assets, Palm Promax is pioneering the valuation of nature itself. Carbon credits, biodiversity reserves, AgTech and ecosystem services will soon be integrated into our platform, because true sustainability must align profitability with planetary stewardship. Tokenization is not merely a financial innovation; it is a catalyst for redefining how the world invests in its future.&quot;
His Excellency Louai Mohamed Ali, Group President of Promax United LLC, commented:&nbsp;&quot;We are thrilled to partner with Palm Global, bringing together all the essential elements to establish a universally recognized, world-leading fixed-income platform, a ubiquitous digital currency, and an unrivaled position as the global leader in the tokenization of real-world assets.
It has been many years since Peter was at the forefront of the ETF industry at Barclays and BlackRock, helping to shape what is now a $14 trillion market. Today, with Palm Promax, we stand at the precipice of an even greater financial evolution. We are poised to introduce a portfolio of products that will not only surpass this achievement but redefine the investment landscape, with our tokenized, real-world asset-backed funds, products, and stablecoin at its core.

Palantir stock is putting on a show for the bulls. With its share price of $123.20 comfortably perched above its five-, 20-, and 50-day exponential moving averages, the bullish short-term trend is flashing. Even the 200-day simple moving average trails far behind at $64.91, highlighting just how steep the rally has been. Each of these technical signals points in the same direction: up.
Adding fuel to the fire, Palantir's eight-day simple moving average sits at $116.68, well below the current stock price &#8211; a bullish confirmation. The 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages are at $101.04 and $91.94, respectively, further underscoring the strength of momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator reads 8.86, another classic sign that buying pressure remains intact.
But before investors jump on the rocket ship, there&#8217;s a note of caution: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed into overbought territory at 71. While overbought doesn't necessarily mean a pullback is imminent, it suggests the stock may be due for a breather.
Palantir's technicals are undeniably bullish, but with momentum running hot, chasing at these levels might require nimble footwork.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir Analysts See 37% Downside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The consensus analyst rating</a> on Palantir stock stands at a Neutral currently with a price target of $69.76. Three recent analyst ratings imply a 37.3% downside for Palantir stock, with an average price target of $76.67.
PLTR Price Action: Palantir stock was trading at $123.36 at the time of publication.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

What To Know: Cathie Wood's Ark Invest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45156714/cathie-wood-pours-9-8-million-in-robinhood-despite-crypto-revenue-slump-keeps-dumping-palantir-ahead-of-earnings">purchased</a> a total of about about $2.8 million worth of AMD shares late last week, despite recent headwinds tied to U.S. export restrictions on AI chips. The company previously flagged revenue impacts and an inventory charge linked to these limitations.
The stock also benefited from momentum in the chip sector following stronger-than-expected earnings from Meta and Microsoft. Both companies reported solid revenue growth, which boosted expectations for continued demand in AI-related infrastructure. As key suppliers to these tech firms, chipmakers including AMD saw gains despite lingering policy and supply risks.
Is AMD A Good Stock To Buy?
An investor or trader's decision to buy or sell a stock is unique to their time horizon and risk tolerance. Many typical investors evaluate earnings growth and valuation on a particular stock before making a decision. 
For example, for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), you'll notice that earnings in its last quarter grew 0.93% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/earnings">source</a>. As an investor, you'll want to decide whether that's better or worse than what you'd like to see among stocks in your portfolio. 
On the valuation side, Advanced Micro Devices's price to earnings ratio &#8211; a measure of how much an investor pays for the company's earnings &#8211; is projected to compress 90.73% in the current quarter when compared with last year. That places it below similar businesses NVIDIA, Broadcom, Taiwan Semiconductor in its sector. You'll need to decide whether that makes it more or less attractive based on how you think the company will perform over time.
There are many different valuation metrics that may help you make a decision. Find more on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD">Advanced Micro Devices's quote page</a>, or if you'd like a deeper dive in an advanced program, try <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga PRO</a> for free.

President Donald Trump has his sight set on a new sector with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs"> threats of tariffs</a> to keep more things made in America.
Here's a look at what's Trumps comments on the "dying" movie industry mean.
What Happened: On social media, Trump threatened the movie industry with tariffs on movies produced "in foreign lands," a move that could impact companies like Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), which generates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42603589/disney-hits-2-billion-domestic-box-office-wins-top-honors-global-box-office-2025-to-grow-8-to-33b-analyst-says">billions of dollars</a> at the box office annually.
"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States," Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114452117143235155">posted </a>on his Truth Social account recently.
Trump called this a "National Security threat" and "propaganda."
"I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands."
In all caps, Trump said "We Want Movies Made In America, Again!"
The latest tariff threat has sent shockwaves across the movie industry with much uncertainty about what Trump could actually do and what the tariff plans would mean if imposed, as reported by Variety.
Trump's comments that the movie sector is dying in America may be premature with 2025 box office up 15.8% year-over-year, according to <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/trump-tariff-foreign-film-national-security-1236386566/">Variety</a>.
That could be a positive for movie theater companies like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) as the 2025 and 2026 content slate will see many blockbuster films hit theaters.
Threats of tariffs could slow down the movie theater sector and those stocks and also impact big movie companies like Disney, Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>), Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>), Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>), Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) and more.
While Trump's comment on the movie industry has that sector rattled, there is also <a href="https://variety.com/2025/biz/news/trump-tariff-foreign-films-six-major-questions-1236386590/">fear</a> the tariffs could extend to television series and the streaming sector, impacting Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), which produces numerous series outside of America.
Tariffs on films and TV shows could impact margins for entertainment companies, which of course, would welcome the question of whether those higher costs would be passed on to consumers via higher movie ticket prices.

 Why It's Important: At this point, Trump's tariff threat appears to be in the exploratory phase and not ironed out yet. While Trump claimed films being made outside America are a "national security threat," he may have to prove this is the case to be able to authorize tariffs.
Trump's comments are also rather vague, with many movies having filming locations outside of the U.S., but maintaining production credits by American companies.
One of the likely early examples that could show how the sector will be attacked is Paramount film "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning." The film was already filmed prior to Trump's tariff threat, but counts the United Kingdom as its primary filming location.
With a May 23 opening date, the film's tariff status could be closely monitored by the sector.
Top film franchises like "Avengers" and "Avatar" have filming locations outside the U.S. Famous film franchises like "Star Wars" and "The Lord of the Rings" famously had filming locations outside the U.S.
Often times, franchises include foreign locations as part of the plot such as in James Bond films. The threat of tariffs could have film studios questioning those moves depending on what the tariff would apply to as far as production locations.
Industry veterans warn the decision for tariffs could significantly harm the sector.
"It's insane. So U.S. companies can only make U.S. films? James Cameron can't make Avatar overseas? Who pays the tariffs? Leading independent distributors would all be out of business if it's them," a veteran U.K. producer told Deadline.
A French distributor told <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/05/trump-movie-tariffs-hollywood-independent-film-destroy-1236385169/">Deadline </a>the move could "kill the U.S. industry quicker."
While Trump is seeking to punish films not made in America, others have ideas to reward films and TV shows made in America. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is pushing for a plan to have $750 million in annual incentives for content filmed in the state, as reported by Deadline.
"We believe he has no authority to impose tariffs under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, since tariffs are not listed as a remedy under that law," Newsom senior advisor for communications Bob Salladay told <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/05/trump-movie-tariffs-gavin-newsom-response-1236385079/">Deadline</a>.
