How analysts view BP now
BP most recently reported first-quarter 2024 results on 04/30/2024, posting underlying replacement cost profit of $2.7 billion, down from $4.96 billion a year earlier, according to its Q1 2024 results release.
Despite softer earnings versus the prior-year boom, management reiterated its commitment to a resilient dividend and ongoing share buybacks of at least $3.5 billion for the first half of 2024, funded at oil prices above $60 per barrel.
Consensus ratings and targets
Across major brokerages tracked by data providers, BP currently carries a mixed but broadly constructive analyst stance, with a large share of Buy and Overweight ratings alongside some Holds.
Consensus one-year price targets cluster moderately above the recent share price, reflecting expectations for solid cash generation if Brent crude stays near the $80 per barrel area and BP continues to execute on its capital discipline and buyback plans.
What the company sells
BP's core business is integrated energy, spanning upstream oil and gas production, refining and marketing, and a growing portfolio in renewables and convenience retail. The company operates under the BP brand at thousands of fuel and convenience stations worldwide.
