BP's profit in Q2 declines year-over-year but beats estimates
-- BP (NYSE:BP) (LON:BP) on Tuesday reported second-quarter profit that beat analyst expectations, rebounding amid recent volatility in global oil and gas markets. The company's underlying replacement cost (RC) profit for the period rose to $2.4 billion from $1.4 billion in Q1, supported by improved performance across its segments. The figure marked a decline from the $2.76 billion reported in the year-ago quarter, though it still topped analyst estimates of $1.81 billion, according to an LSEG-compiled consensus. Operating cash flow came in at $6.3 billion, up from $2.8 billion in the prior quarter, despite including a $1.1 billion Gulf of Mexico settlement payment. The oil production and operations unit generated $2.3 billion in underlying RC profit, although this was below last year's levels due to weaker realized prices and higher depreciation. Production rose 2.5% year-over-year to 1.52 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Realized liquids prices declined to $59.74/bbl from $73.05 a year ago. Gas & low carbon energy delivered $1.5 billion in underlying RC profit, broadly flat year-on-year, with lower production offset by higher margins. Reported production in the segment was down 13% due to divestments in Egypt and Trinidad. The customers & products segment saw underlying RC profit improve to $1.5 billion from $1.1 billion a year ago, as stronger trading and midstream performance offset a weaker refining margin environment. BP-operated refining availability remained high at 96.4%. 'We are delivering our plan with operational reliability above 96%," said CEO Murray Auchincloss in the release. "We remain fully focused on delivering safely and reliably, maintaining capital discipline and driving performance improvement.' He also noted that the company is conducting a strategic review of its business portfolio 'to ensure we are maximizing shareholder value.' BP's capital expenditure for the quarter stood at $3.4 billion. Net debt fell to $26.0 billion from $27.0 billion in Q1, helped by divestment proceeds of $1.4 billion. The company also raised its dividend by 4% to 8.32 cents per share and announced a new $750 million share buyback program.

Oil major BP posts second-quarter profit beat despite annual drop
Britain's BP on Tuesday posted stronger-than-expected second-quarter profit, following a period of heightened volatility for global oil and gas prices. The struggling energy major reported underlying replacement cost profit, used as a proxy for net profit, of $2.35 billion for the three months through June. That beat analyst expectations of $1.81 billion, according to an LSEG-compiled consensus. BP's net profit came in at $2.76 billion over the second quarter of last year and $1.38 billion in the first three months of 2025. The results come as BP continues to try to rebuild investor confidence following a protracted period of underperformance relative to its industry peers. The London-listed company on Monday announced its largest oil and gas discovery in 25 years off the coast of Brazil, reflecting a potentially significant boost as it continues to double down on hydrocarbons. BP has recently been the subject of intense takeover speculation, prompting domestic rival Shell to say in late June that it had "no intention" of making an offer. Shares of the company are up around 3.3% year-to-date.
