HOUSTON (Bloomberg) –Occidental Petroleum cut its quarterly dividend by 91% to cope with the pandemic-driven collapse in energy demand that has strained the oil explorer’s ability to shoulder its debt.
Occidental shareholders will receive a penny per share on July 15, the Houston-based company said in a statement Friday. The payout compares to the 11-cent dividend announced in March.
