Read MoreHide Full Article
BP (BP - Free Report) closed at $38.79 in the latest trading session, marking a -0.28% move from the prior day. The stock's change was less than the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.73%. Meanwhile, the Dow gained 0.62%, and the Nasdaq, a tech-heavy index, added 0.93%.
The oil and gas company's stock has climbed by 0.39% in the past month, exceeding the Oils-Energy sector's loss of 0.7% and the S&P 500's loss of 2.29%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of BP in its forthcoming earnings report. The company is scheduled to release its earnings on October 31, 2023. In that report, analysts expect BP to post earnings of $1.37 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 47.1%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $66.29 billion, up 14.67% from the prior-year quarter.
BP's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $5.53 per share and revenue of $240.1 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -36.73% and -3.53%, respectively.
Furthermore, it would be beneficial for investors to monitor any recent shifts in analyst projections for BP. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the company's business performance and profit potential.
Our research suggests that these changes in estimates have a direct relationship with upcoming stock price performance. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
