BP Shares Eye 700p as Traders Watch Next Key Test

BP shares fell in London on Thursday afternoon after a string of UK retail-investor columns flagged RBC Capital’s 700p target and floated the idea that a £9,999 stake could be worth more by July 2027. The pieces linked to a bullish RBC note and made the case for a rebound after BP’s slide, with the focus back on whether the company can actually cut debt as oil prices steady and bring more consistent cash flow. RBC’s Biraj Borkhataria stuck with a Buy call on BP Thursday, steady on the 700 pence target, MarketScreener said, citing dpa-AFX Analyser. That’s still far above BP’s trading level Thursday. The target isn’t BP’s own guidance.

FTSE 100 Ends Lower as Miners Slip, Political Worries Weigh

FTSE 100 falls, posts worst week in six as miners and politics weigh The FTSE 100 closed down on Friday, logging its steepest weekly loss in six weeks after declines in mining stocks and renewed political worries pulled the blue-chip index lower, despite gains for oil producer shares.

Andy Burnham won the by-election, fueling talk he could move against Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Both events pushed investors to cut risk.

BP Stock Climbs as Oil Rises Past $80 on Fresh Iran Truce Fears

BP shares bounced at the open in London on Friday, trimming some of Thursday’s drop. The stock traded near 498.35 pence, or £4.98, after starting at 498.65 pence. Brent crude traded back above $80 a barrel. The rebound didn’t make up for Thursday’s 2.9% drop, so BP is still close to 20% down from its 52-week high marked on March 31. The shares continue to move as a quick-trading stand-in for oil supply risk premium — traders are still pricing in the risk that crude deliveries could be interrupted.

BP Shares Jump As Oil Shock Lets Traders Look Past Boardroom Turmoil

BP shares rose in early London trade on Monday, lifted by a fresh jump in oil prices as renewed Middle East attacks put supply risk back at the centre of the market. The London-listed stock was up 1.37% at 553.50 pence at 09:14 BST, outperforming a weaker UK market. That matters now because BP is one of the FTSE 100’s most direct large-cap plays on crude prices, just as investors are still testing whether its strategy reset can survive another bout of boardroom upheaval. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose $4.42, or 4.47%, to $97.15 a barrel by 0609 GMT after Israeli strikes on Iran and Lebanon revived concern about flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping

BP finished the week up about 3%, with a boost from stronger oil prices and more signals it’s focused on cash and trading moves. London is closed for the weekend, so BP traders won’t react until Monday when they’ll come back to two main things: an oil spike tied to the Strait of Hormuz and BP’s own efforts to bring down debt. Brent crude, the key global oil price, finished Friday up 3.35% at $109.26 a barrel as hopes ebbed for quick fixes to shipping snarls in the region.

BP grabbed a 40% stake in a production sharing deal for six oil and gas exploration blocks in Uzbekistan’s North Ustyurt region, underscoring the London-listed major’s renewed push into conventional energy. Under a production sharing agreement, output, costs, and profits are divvied up between the government and project partners. Timing’s a factor here. BP has barely started a leadership shakeup, with CEO Meg O’Neill stepping in April 1. She’s already signaled to employees that a reorg—splitting BP into upstream and downstream divisions—kicks off in June. It’s a return to something more like the traditional oil-major playbook, moving away from the renewables-heavy structure set up under Bernard Looney.
