About
Occidental Petroleum is an integrated oil and gas company with leading positions in the Permian Basin, Middle East, and Latin America, founded in 1920 in Los Angeles and now headquartered in Houston, Texas, trading on NYSE (OXY). The company generated approximately $26.2 billion in revenues for FY2024 under CEO Vicki Hollub, who has established Occidental as the oil and gas industry's most ambitious carbon management company through its STRATOS Direct Air Capture facility—the world's largest operational DAC plant, opened in Ector County, Texas in 2024 with capacity to remove 500,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, has accumulated approximately 29% of Occidental's common shares and holds warrants to acquire an additional 83.9 million shares, representing one of Buffett's largest concentrated investments and a strong endorsement of Occidental's Permian Basin strategy.
Rosemead CA Southern California Edison utility (NYSE: EIX) ~$17.6B FY2024 revenue; Jan 2025 LA wildfire liability exposure, $35B+ 2025-2028 capital plan, competing with SDG&E and facing CPUC wildfire scrutiny.
About
Edison International is a Rosemead, California-based regulated electric utility holding company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: EIX) as an S&P 500 Utilities component — providing electric service to approximately 15 million people across 50,000 square miles of Central and Southern California (excluding Los Angeles proper, served by LA Department of Water and Power) through subsidiary Southern California Edison (SCE) through approximately 14,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Edison International reported revenues of approximately $17.6 billion, generating regulated utility earnings from SCE's distribution and transmission rate base as the company executed California's energy transition — transitioning SCE's generation portfolio from natural gas to wind, solar, and battery storage under California's 100% clean electricity mandate. The January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires — the most destructive fires in LA history, destroying 12,000+ structures in the Altadena and Pacific Palisades areas — created immediate wildfire liability exposure for Edison International as SCE equipment investigations focused on whether SCE infrastructure contributed to fire ignition during extreme Santa Ana wind conditions, with potential liabilities estimated in the billions of dollars that threatened to exceed SCE's insurance coverage and stress Edison International's balance sheet. CEO Pedro Pizarro has led SCE's proactive wildfire risk reduction program (Wildfire Mitigation Plan — deploying 8,000+ weather stations, 440+ HD cameras, 80+ situational awareness cameras, advanced Public Safety Power Shutoff protocols, and system hardening across high fire-risk areas) as the central regulatory and investor narrative for Edison following the 2017-2018 California wildfire liability cycle that nearly broke Pacific Gas and Electric.
