Record profits give BP share price a lift (FXStreet)

Today's Q4 and final year results have seen BP's share price edge back to the highs of last week after the UK oil major posted a record set of full ye.

Canoo (GOEV) stock is trading up more than 3% in Tuesday's premarket after a surprise share offering on Monday helped the EV small-cap to close 12.4% lower. Following a quiet European morning, EUR/USD has lost its traction and dropped to its lowest level in nearly a month below 1.0700. Of course, all of this will be for nought if governments don’t invest in the energy infrastructure to support all these new technologies. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Gold price erased its daily recovery gains and turned flat slightly below $1,870 heading into the American session. This is welcome given the low amounts BP spent in renewables this past 12 months. 70.5% of retail investor accounts lose money when spread betting and/or trading CFDs with this provider. Total capex for the upcoming year is expected to come in between $14bn and $18bn and is expected to continue at that rate until the end of the decade. In a departure from its peers, it would appear that criticisms of its spending on renewables has started to sting and this morning the company said it plans to split its investment evenly between “transition growth engines” and oil and gas, with spending of up to $8bn a year. As a result of the implementation of the energy profits levy or windfall tax to you and me, BP paid $2.2bn in UK taxes. Q4 saw underlying replacement cost profits of $4.8bn, a step down from Q3’s $8.15bn, due to underperformance in its oil and gas trading division, but has still pushed total profits for the year of $27.65bn, a big jump from the $12.8bn in 2021. [oil](https://www.fxstreet.com/markets/commodities/energy/oil) major posted a record set of full year numbers, raised the dividend and announced another $2.75bn share buyback for Q1.

Earnings: BP shares are a steal at 490p (Motley Fool UK)

After BP reports the highest profits in its 114-year history, Andrew Mackie explains why he believes that its share price is still as cheap as chips.

A clear risk of investing in BP is that the world could well have passed peak oil. What I disagree on is the timeframe. If a company in the tech space was generating the kind of profits that BP announced today, its share price would be trading at many multiples of what it is today. The cost of capital is rising. The fact that it isn’t, is partly as a result of where most capital is being deployed today. If oil stocks continue to outperform, I foresee an eventual stampede of capital into the space. The excess froth might have come off Big Tech stocks, but investors continue to buy the dip believing them to be a bargain. This metric is key to shareholders as the company is committed to returning 60% of surplus cash flows via share buybacks. Like its peer Shell, profits were the best in its 114-year history. Underlying profit more than doubled to $27.7bn. Revenues increased by 50% to $280bn. [LSE:BP](https://www.fool.co.uk/tickers/lse-bp/)) to report.

BP Posts Record Profits In 2022. Should You Buy Its Shares Today? (Forbes)

This is the same as it plans to fork out on greener sources of energy. Finally, oil-focussed companies like BP face long-term problems as the transition to green energy continues. Ongoing supply concerns could support black gold prices as long as the war in Ukraine persists. A hike in household energy bills in April will raise calls still further. Last week Shell recorded record adjusted earnings of $39.9 billion for 2022. Operating cash flow at BP meanwhile soared to $40.9 billion in 2022 from $23.6 billion a year earlier. But I believe the company’s current valuation reflects the high level of risk it still faces. This was down sharply from $8.2 billion in the previous three months. It also declared plans to repurchase $2.75 billion worth of shares. Oil sector earnings have ballooned following the invasion of Ukraine. with buybacks and a growing dividend. Prices settled back during the final quarter, however.

BP share price rises as profits hit record high in 2022 (FOREX.com)

BP said it is raising returns for shareholders and rebalancing investment between oil and gas and its cleaner energy projects.

The information and opinions in this report are for general information use only and are not intended as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any currency or CFD contract. BP said the accelerated investment into cleaner energy, plus a sharpened focus on oil and gas projects that offer a faster payback, should lead to faster earnings growth. Any opinions, news, research, analyses, prices or other information contained herein is intended as general information about the subject matter covered and is provided with the understanding that we do not provide any investment, legal, or tax advice. That is important considering BP is trying to close the gap after lagging some of its rivals in terms of returns in recent years. This report has been prepared without regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and needs of any particular recipient. The stock is on the verge of testing the 497.50p level of resistance that we have seen over the past four months. A move higher would allow it to target 561p level of resistance we saw for the five months to July 2019. However, back in 2020, BP said production would be some 40% lower by the end of this decade. BP has made big waves in this space, having bought US biogas outfit Archaea Energy and advanced multiple hydrogen projects in the likes of Australia, Abu Dhabi, Egypt, Oman and Mauritania. Meanwhile, around 60% of surplus cashflow will be used to fund buybacks with the other 40% being used to repay debt, which should see BP repurchase around $4 billion worth of shares each year at that oil price, with more cash on the cards if oil prices remain significantly above that level. That was up over 18% from last year, although fell short of the $5.1 billion forecast by markets and marked a significant drop from what we saw in the third quarter thanks to softer commodity prices, weaker refining margins and tougher conditions for its gas trading arm. BP has raised its quarterly dividend by 10% to 6.61 cents and launched a new share buyback worth $2.75 billion.

All in all today’s numbers are another record number for the big oil majors, and will inevitably attract the usual headlines of obscene profiteering from the usual suspects, however we do appear at last to be seeing the likes of BP starting to push back on the prevailing narrative, by saying that new gas resources will be needed to help the energy transition. BP raised the Q4 dividend to 6.61p, taking the total dividend for the year to 24.08p, as well as adding another share buyback for Q1 of $2.75bn. The big question is how BP defines “transition growth engines”, given that LNG could easily be described as a transition energy source, given its cleaner than coal and oil. Underlying replacement cost profit came in at $4.8bn in Q4, a step down from Q3’s $8.15bn, due to underperformance in its oil and gas trading division, but has still pushed total profits for the year of $27.65bn, a big jump from the $12.8bn in 2021.

BP share price cruised past key hurdle after earnings: be careful (Invezz)

BP share price did well on Tuesday after the company published strong financial results. The shares jumped by over 5% to a high of 509.

On the weekly chart, BP stock price made a strong bullish breakout above a level it has struggled to rise above for weeks. It has also risen to the 78.6% Fibonacci Retracement level. Another main reason why the BP share price surged is the company’s scaling down of its clean energy investments. [Energy](https://invezz.com/news/commodities/energy/) companies had a strong year in 2022, helped by high oil and [natural gas](https://invezz.com/news/commodities/energy/natural-gas/) prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The shares jumped by over 5% to a high of 509p, the highest level since November 2019. The company also said that it will repurchase $2.75 billion worth of shares.

Are BP shares still a dirt-cheap buy in February? (Motley Fool UK)

The BP share price has doubled, but the company now plans to increase spending on oil and gas projects to maximise gains from high energy prices.

My feeling is that this could be a signal that we’re close to the top of the cycle. In my view, BP’s 4.4% dividend yield could be a signal that the shares are already fully priced. My reading of this is that CEO Bernard Looney has decided to cash in on strong demand for oil and gas while prices remain high. BP’s share price might climb a little further, supported by dividend growth and big share buybacks. In other words, BP’s bullish outlook is based on increased spending and higher oil price forecasts. High oil prices often trigger additional investment in production.
