BP (LSE: BP.) The stocks have always fluctuated in time with the price of oil. So, with Brent dipped to $ 68 a barrel in recent days, it is not a real shock to see the BP arrow price as well.

During the past 12 months, FTSE 100 The shares slide over 12 %. Even with an excessive return of about 6 %, investors will remain in red.

The company is under pressure from almost every direction. American activists ’funds, Illout recently criticized “Poor Performance” Her campaign to reset a strategy and “Decisive and effective leadership” To get BP again on the right track.

This came as BP Mafold, the first Crh A president, as a new president. His appointment has sparked speculation that the oil giant can one day follow the example of CRH and turn its list from London to New York, although CEO Murray Usinglos insists that he is not on cards.

Smooth profits

In February, Auchincloss made the green to Auchincloss. He is looking to cancel the assets of $ 20 billion by 2027 to reflect the green shift and pay debts, with up to $ 4 billion this year. BP has already sold wild wind business in the United States and has expanded its scope on renewable energy sources, in an attempt to focus on basic production and cutting low -yielding projects.

BP also hopes to raise daily production to 2.5 million barrels, equivalent to oil by 2030, while the number of employees cut 5 %. However, the results will not appear for some time.

On April 29, BP made half a Q1 to 750 million dollars, noting the volatile oil prices. Donald Trump’s tariff threats did not help. On July 11, the second quarter profits warned that you get weakened prices of oil and gas, despite the high source production.

Distical evaluation

One of the strangest numbers is the price ratio to profits. The BP price ratio to the profits increased to 225, due to a sharp decrease in profits per share, which decreased from 88 cents to only 2 cents in 2024. Unless the profits are recovered, its profits and the re -purchases of shares may be more stressful, with damage to the share in the share.

Although some investors may consider purchasing BP for generous profits and long -term recovery capabilities, there is no risk hiding. Speculation of acquisition may tempt each other, but not me. Often it is nothing to anything.

Of the 32 analysts covering the arrow, the average of 18 years. This is a feeling of the right to me. The company appears to be not sure of its direction, and as the global economy slows down, the demand for oil can remain defeated.

If BP is able to offer higher production and better profits, the shares may even thrive. But I think there are FTSE 100 stocks much stronger to consider today, with much luggage.

Looking at a huge set of challenges facing BP, I expect the price of his share will be trained for some time. At some point, the arrows can fly, but today I was approaching with caution.
