Share price taking a hiding this morning. Under 4.00 again soon, methinks.

Difficult to call how that closes out the week in this macro, but it certainly will keep tapping at Company share prices whilst around there trying to make mind up

The share price could get to £5 to £6 if the trading update and results look to be advancing with their new policy. Agree you're 18 months sounds about right.

I think the markets need to digest the news more, but in the end, the share price will move higher. Just my opinion.

Serious question,What is the benefit of BP having a higher share price?The way I see it, if you have a pot of X000,s the higher the price the less you can buy.Sensible answers only, thanks.

Beginning to think BP is a basket case needing more medical attention than CEO. Why on earth did they buy back 5m shares yesterday in full knowledge of RNS announcement next day would drop share price by 3%? Thank G most of my energy shares are not BP!

Shell is doing really well this morning. BP. are currently 2nd not doing so well. I hope Murray A gets a grip on the share price this year. Happy New Year, hopefully for long-term holders

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.
