What the Analysts think about BP
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for British Petroleum stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
BP surpassed second-quarter underlying replacement cost profit forecasts, posting $2.4 billion versus expectations of $1.8 billion, increased its quarterly dividend by 4%, and continued a $750 million share buyback—highlighting strong earnings and focus on shareholder returns.
BP’s Bumerangue oil find in Brazil, its largest discovery in 25 years, could significantly strengthen its upstream growth pipeline as it lines up partners for development ahead of a final investment decision.
With new chairman Albert Manifold, BP has unveiled a $20 billion divestment program by 2027, including a sale of its Castrol lubricants division, aiming to streamline operations, cut debt, and channel investment to more profitable businesses.
Activist investor Elliott Management, now holding over 5% of BP, is calling for rapid asset sales and deeper cost reductions, which could pressure management into rushed decisions and distract from long-term strategy.
With net debt at $26 billion and needing to sell $20 billion in assets by 2027 to hit a $14–18 billion debt target, BP could be forced to unload valuable assets at lower valuations, undermining its competitiveness.
Falling oil prices below $65 per barrel, with expectations for further declines, threaten to squeeze BP’s upstream profit margins and could cut third-quarter earnings by up to $300 million.
