Is the BP share price set for a 75% jump?The highest analyst target for BP shares in 2025 is 75% above the current price. So should investors consider buying it for dividends and share buybacks?Posted by?Stephen Wright?Published 21 December, 9:00 am GMWhen investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you put in.Read MoreYou're reading a free article with opinions that may differ from The Motley Fool's Premium Investing Services. Become a Motley Fool member today to get instant access to our top analyst recommendations, in-depth research, investing resources, and more. Learn More.Analyst price targets for BP (LSE:BP) shares are pretty optimistic heading into 2025. The highest estimate I can find is £6.62. That's around 75% higher than the stock's current level. So while 2024 hasn't been a good year for the BP share price, could 2025 bring a dramatic turnaround?Should you invest £1,000 in BP right now?When investing expert Mark Rogers has a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, the flagship Motley Fool Share Advisor newsletter he has run for nearly a decade has provided thousands of paying members with top stock recommendations from the UK and US markets. And right now, Mark thinks there are 6 standout stocks that investors should consider buying. Want to see if BP made the list?Oil outlookThe most important thing for BP – as with any oil major – is the price of oil. But while I have a positive view on this over the long term, I'm not hugely optimistic for 2025.A couple of things make me wary – both on the supply side of the equation. The first is the possibility of increased production coming from the US as lower taxes bring down costs across the Atlantic. Furthermore, oil output in Saudi Arabia is currently near 2020 (i.e., pandemic) levels. With lower costs than the competition, I think it's a matter of when – rather than if – production increases there.Saudi Arabia oil production 2015-2024?Source: Trading EconomicsFor the oil price to stay at its current level, I think demand will need to increase. And outside of China – which is admittedly a huge factor – I'm not confident this will happen in the next 12 months. ValuationAt the moment, BP shares trade at a significant discount to other oil majors. But by itself, this isn't a strong reason for thinking the share price is going to rise next year. One of the lessons I've learned in 2024 is that low prices can persist for a long time. And if it takes too long for the underlying value of the shares to be realised, this can make for a disappointing investment. Importantly, though, management is taking advantage of the discounted valuation. It's in the process of buying back shares, which will be more effective the longer the share price stays down. Furthermore, there's a dividend with a 6.31% yield on offer at the moment. This should go some way towards offsetting the opportunity cost of waiting for investors looking for a potential recovery.Price targetsA 75% jump might seem like a lot – and it is. But it might not be implausible given the valuations – and dividend yields – on offer elsewhere in the sector. If the BP share price reached £6.62, the dividend yield would fall to 3.63%. That's towards the lower end of the range the other oil majors are trading in, but it wouldn't make it a big outlier.StockDividend yieldBP6.32%Chevron4.62%ConocoPhillips3.28%ExxonMobil3.75%Shell4.49%TotalEnergies6.19%That goes a long way towards justifying a £6.62 price target for BP shares. Even at that level, the stock would still have a similar dividend yield to ExxonMobil. Investors should keep in mind that US firms are set to benefit from tax cuts, while UK oil companies are facing windfall taxes. But even considering this risk, the valuation discount is very wide at the moment.Opportunity?As far as I can see, the best reason for thinking the BP share price might be about to climb 75% is that this would close the valuation gap to the other oil majors. And that isn't a bad idea, by any means.The Motley Fool Ltd. Registered Office: 5 New Street Square, London EC4A 3TW. | Registered in England & Wales. Company No: 3736872.

230m share dump by BP yesterday, hope that drags the share price today.

lower the better for dividend snowball.

So things now make more sense. Why would BP share price strengthen following an announcement about a globally significant wind farm investment JV? Because in reality it means BP has stepped back from prior plans to invest in a whole raft of wind farm projects around the world with various partners. Confirming a cut in suspended renewables investment to further concentrate on oil and gas, pandering to US market investors and continuing the reversal of BPs transforming to a greener future.

BP p.l.c.: Release of a capital market informationSource: EQS Regulatory NewsBP p.l.c. / BP responds to 'mini-tender' offerBP p.l.c.: Release of a capital market information10.12.2024 / 17:10 CET/CESTDissemination of a Post-admission Duties announcement transmitted by EQS News - a service of EQS Group AG.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Press ReleaseDecember 10, 2024BP responds to 'mini-tender' offerBP p.l.c. (BP) announced today that it has received notification that on November 19, 2024 TRC Capital Corporation (TRC) commenced an unsolicited, below-market mini-tender offer to purchase up to 4,000,000 of the American Depositary Shares (ADSs) of BP (equivalent to 24,000,000 Ordinary Shares, or approximately 0.1 per cent of BP's outstanding Ordinary Shares), at a price of $27.95 per ADS.  The TRC offer is being made at a 5.00 per cent discount to the ADS closing price of $29.42 per ADS on November 18, 2024, the last trading day before the offer commenced, and is below yesterday's closing price of $30.09.In addition to being below-market, the offer by TRC contains other terms which may be disadvantageous to tendering ADS holders.BP does not endorse TRC's offer, and BP recommends that ADS holders reject the offer and do not tender their ADSs in response to the offer by TRC. BP is in no way associated with TRC, the mini-tender offer or the offer documents.  The TRC mini-tender offer is not related to BP's own share buyback program to repurchase Ordinary Shares.TRC has made many similar, unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. Mini-tender offers seek to acquire less than 5 per cent of a company's shares, thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors with the same level of protection as provided by larger tender offers under United States securities laws. The SEC has issued tips for investors regarding mini-tender offers on its website at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm and https://www.sec.gov/fast-answers/ answersminitenhtm.html. The SEC has cautioned investors about mini-tender offers, noting that "[s]ome bidders make mini-tender offers at below market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price." The Canadian Securities Administrators have also expressed concerns with mini-tender offers in an investor alert ("Mini-Tender Offers - Watch Out For Mini-Tender Offers at Below-Market Price!") accessible at  BP urges ADS holders to obtain current market quotations for their ADSs, to consult with their broker or investment advisor, review the conditions of the offer and to exercise caution with respect to the TRC offer.  BP recommends that ADS holders who have not responded to TRC's offer take no action. According to TRC's offer documents, ADS holders who have already tendered may withdraw their tendered ADSs at any time prior to 11:59 pm New York City time, on Wednesday, December 18, 2024 by providing the written notice described in the documentation.BP encourages brokers and dealers, as well as other market participants, to review the SEC's recommendations to broker-dealers in these circumstances, which can be found on the SEC website at https://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm.BP requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to TRC's mini-tender offer relating to BP ADSs. This information is provided by RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange.

Share price falling + 25 million share buyback weekly. Basically, the company is getting cheaper by the week.

They can't stop the slide. They have a new strategy announcement scheduled for Feb. So I assume the share price cannot be defended befor then.

Will the BP share price go gangbusters under President Trump?

The BP share price has had a rough ride lately and Harvey Jones says the FTSE 100 oil giant looks irresistibly cheap. But what is Donald Trump going to do?

Published 7 November, 9:45 am GMT

The Motley Fool’s Premium Investing Services.

After slumping 21.36% in a year, the BP (LSE: BP) share price needs a kick up the backside. Is incoming US President Donald Trump the man to deliver it?

During the election, Trump made it clear he would green light more domestic drilling on day one of his presidency.

Most observers expect him to shove net zero ambitions aside, axe funding for renewables, and drill, drill, drill for fossil fuels. Trump may be unpredictable, but I think we can bank on him doing just that. US voters love lower fuel prices.




So why didn’t BP shares take off like a rocket yesterday? Plenty of FTSE 100 stocks with exposure to the US did just that.

Rental equipment specialist Ashtead Group, which generates almost 90% of its revenues from the US, jumped 5.56%, as investors anticipate cuts to tax and red tape. Defence specialist BAE Systems climbed 4.92% with Trump demanding Europe beefs up its armies.

By contrast, BP edged up just 0.36%, despite generating 29% of its revenues from the States. Rival Shell fell 0.61%. Presumably, that’s because if Trump does drill, drill, drill, it could trigger a fresh supply spike that will drive down prices.

On 4 November (with the US election apparently on a knife edge), the World Bank predicted significant oversupply, with oil prices potentially falling below $60 a barrel in the next few years. Next year, it predicted that “global oil supply is expected to exceed demand by an average of 1.2m barrels per day”. We’ve only seen that twice before, in 1998 and 2020.

The World Bank pinned this flatlining on China, rising electric vehicle (EV) sales, increasing use of trucks powered by liquefied natural gas, and rising production within OPEC+ and without. Experts at Axios added: “This new reality might keep a lid on consumer energy prices even as geopolitical strife intensifies. It could also wreak havoc on the longstanding economics that underpin oil production”.


This oil giant looks brilliant value

BP can breakeven at roughly $40 a barrel, so it’s hardly terminal. But profits, dividends and share buybacks may come under pressure.

Second-guessing oil price movements’s a mug’s game. For years, experts were warning we’d run out of the black stuff, and then the US discovered shale. Next, experts predicted the green transition would wipe out fossil fuel demand. That hasn’t happened either. Yet.

BP’s also at a disadvantage to its US rivals. The new Labour government has just slapped a fresh wave of windfall taxes on UK oil producers. Trump’s set to do the opposite, with plans to slash corporate tax to 15% in a huge boost for US rivals such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips.

I bought BP shares recently and have no intention of selling. I want exposure to energy prices for diversification purposes at least. Also, the stock’s ridiculously cheap, trading it just 5.67 times earnings. And the trailing yield is a blockbuster 5.91%. I still think this will be a great long-term buy-and-hold proposition.

I’m keen to buy more BP shares and will take advantage of further dips. Commodity stocks are cyclical. It’s best to buy when they’re down, but with a long-term view.

Curious to read one headline describing BP's Q3 performance as net debt "inching up". A quick look says net debt has swollen by about $1.6B in the quarter. From memory net debt was down as low as $21B a couple of years back but now stands at over $24B.

Meanwhile BP is powering ahead with buybacks at a rate which is exceeding available surplus cash flow. Fighting to hold up a share price which has been struggling, down again today.

Perhaps there are disposals in the pipeline which would sort that out, for example buying out Lightspeed in order to then sell it on. In an ideal world BP would be positioning for a post-peak oil scenario but has turned its back on that agenda.

Not tempted back in despite the low share price meaning dividends are looking attractive. Watching to see if there will be a retreat to the 300-350p range.
