Bulls say / Bears say
BP’s second quarter 2025 net profit of $2.4 billion surpassed analyst forecasts by 33%, enabling a slight dividend increase to 8.32 pence and continuation of its $750 million share buyback programme, while reducing net debt to $26 billion. (Reuters)
The Customers and Products division reported a 33% year-on-year profit gain driven by strong oil trading and improved Castrol performance, and the Gas & Low Carbon segment also outperformed expectations, demonstrating BP’s diversified earnings base. (Reuters)
In March 2025, BP initiated the sale of a 50% stake in its solar arm, Lightsource bp, to attract strategic partner capital and expertise, aiming to enhance returns on its 5.7 GW operational solar portfolio. (Reuters)
Activist group Follow This urged shareholders to vote against the reappointment of Chair Helge Lund at the April 17 AGM, criticizing BP’s rollback on renewable investment targets and demanding an advisory vote on its revised energy transition plan. (Reuters)
In Q1 2025, BP’s profit plunged 48% year-on-year, prompting it to cut share buybacks to $750 million, with investors warning that the company’s shift back towards oil and gas leaves it vulnerable relative to peers maintaining stronger shareholder returns. (Reuters)
