BP Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Ceva (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEVA#NYSE">CEVA</a>) is &#8220;way too high, and I think you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CEVA">should take something off the table.&#8221;</a>
Ceva will announce results for the third quarter on Nov. 7, 2024, before the opening bell.
&#8220;I love space stuff, and that's why I keep recommending Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>),&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>). If there's going to be something in space, it is going to be done by Elon Musk."

The company is reportedly set to pause production of its F-150 Lightning from mid-November until the year&#8217;s end, citing weaker-than-anticipated demand for the electric pickup, Automotive News reported.
&#8220;They are in the oil service business, and oil is not a growth commodity. So, I'm going to say you can't own the stock here, as much as I really like them,&#8221; the &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host said when asked about SLB (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>).
The company, last week, disclosed that its OneSubsea joint venture won a contract from BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) for a subsea boosting system as part of the greenfield development of the Kaskida project in the deepwater U.S.
Cramer recommended taking something off the table, when asked about Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>).
Vistra will replace The AES Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) in the Dow Jones Utility Average, effective prior to the open of trading on Friday, Nov. 8.

Jim Cramer Says He Can't Recommend This Major Automaker, Ceva Is 'Way Too High'

Analysts cut the price target on BP p.l.c. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) following the company&#8217;s third quarter results reported on Tuesday.
BP&#8217;s revenue fell short at $47.25 billion, below the $52.56 billion consensus, with oil production down <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41598840/bp-stock-drops-as-q3-revenue-misses-mark-production-declines-debt-rises" rel="noreferrer noopener">6% year over year</a>.
For FY24, BP&nbsp;continues to expect&nbsp;both reported and underlying upstream production to be&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">slightly higher than the prior year</a>.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the company continues to expect $25 billion&nbsp;of divestments and other proceeds from the second half of 2020 through 2025.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Biraj Borkhataria lowered the price target to 480p (from 525p) while reiterating the Sector Perform rating.
The analyst writes that BP faced significant challenges lately, and without an improving macroeconomic environment, they believe the investment case remains weak.
The company appears to have missed an opportunity in 2022-23, a peak period in the cycle, to significantly reduce its leverage, adds the analyst.
Borkhataria says that this oversight has left its distribution program less resilient compared to its peers.
The analyst observed a stronger focus on the balance sheet this quarter compared to previous periods, with net debt increasing from $33.3 billion to $35.3 billion (including leases).
Borkhataria expects this figure to rise to approximately $40 billion by the end of the year.
The analyst says that BP requires a reset of expectations ahead of its February 2025 Capital Markets Day (CMD).
Adjusting the &#8216;surplus&#8217; payout ratio seems prudent, and the analyst believes it would be wise to allocate more cash towards strengthening the balance sheet.
Given the lackluster returns in recent years, Borkhataria thinks that prioritizing de-leveraging over growth capital expenditures in the transition engines should be the focus.
The analyst&#8217;s revised EPS estimates reflect a decrease of 6% for 2024 and 10% for 2025, primarily due to lower refining earnings, partially balanced by increased contributions from gas and low-carbon initiatives.
Goldman Sachs analyst Michele Della Vigna reduced the price target to 560p from 580p while reaffirming the Buy rating. Also, the analyst reduced the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BP/analyst-ratings">ADR price target to $44.0 from $46.0.</a>
The analyst anticipates lower oil and gas price realizations than expected, particularly for European gas, which may result in diminished earnings and cash flow generation.
Additionally, lower-than-expected recovery rates in mature offshore oil and gas fields could lead to higher decline rates than currently projected, ultimately resulting in lower production growth and cash flow than their current estimates, adds the analyst.
Vigna adjusted the estimates, resulting in EPS changes of approximately -2%, -7%, and -5% for 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively, primarily due to lower refining margins and reduced oil trading profits.
Price Action: BP shares are down 0.66% at $29.17 at the last check Wednesday.

Schlumberger N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday. The company disclosed that its OneSubsea joint venture won a contract from BP p.l.c.

This contract signifies an important achievement in the enduring collaboration between SLB OneSubsea and BP, as it is their inaugural engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreement for a subsea boosting system.

The OneSubsea subsea boosting system is a crucial technology for bp&#8217;s inaugural Paleogene field development.
It will provide the necessary artificial lift to optimize production by enhancing reserve recovery while minimizing energy consumption.
This month, SLB reported revenue growth of 10.2% year over year to $9.159 billion, missing the consensus of $9.25 billion. Adjusted EPS increased 14% to 89 cents,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41401700/schlumberger-q3-earnings-mixed-results-as-middle-east-shines-and-latin-america-falters" rel="noreferrer noopener">above the consensus of 88 cents</a>.

Sales and other operating revenues came in at&nbsp;$47.254 billion, missing the consensus of&nbsp;$52.557 billion.
Hydrocarbon production was 890 mboe/d (-6.0%&nbsp;Y/Y), with underlying production declining 4.0%&nbsp;Y/Y mainly due to base decline.
The Renewables pipeline stood at 46.8GW (bp net), including a 20.5GW bp net share from Lightsource bp's (LSbp's) pipeline in the quarter.&nbsp;

Chief executive officer Murray Auchincloss said, &#8220;We have made significant progress since we laid out our six priorities earlier this year to make bp simpler, more focused and higher value. In oil and gas, we see the potential to grow through the decade with a focus on value over volume.&#8221;
&#8221;We also have a deep belief in the opportunity afforded by the energy transition – we have established a number of leading positions and will continue high-grading our investments to ensure they compete with the rest of our business.&#8221;
Dividend: BP disclosed an interim dividend of 8.000 cents per ordinary share, payable on December 20, 2024. Holders of ADSs are expected to receive&nbsp;$0.48&nbsp;per ADS.
Repurchase: The company completed previously announced $1.75 billion&nbsp;in share buybacks during the quarter.
Furthermore, BP plans to conduct a $1.75 billion share buyback before its fourth-quarter earnings release and is committed to an additional $1.75 billion buyback for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Fourth-Quarter&nbsp;FY24&nbsp;Outlook: BP anticipates upstream production to be lower than the third quarter of 2024.
In its customer business, BP projects seasonally lower volumes sequentially in the fourth quarter, with fuel margins likely remaining sensitive to supply cost fluctuations.
In the products segment, BP expects refining margins to stay low in the fourth quarter, though they may remain sensitive to changes in product crack spreads.
FY24&nbsp;Guidance: BP&nbsp;continues to expect&nbsp;both reported and underlying upstream production to be&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">slightly higher than the prior year</a>.&nbsp;
It now anticipates divestments and other proceeds to be greater than $3 billion (vs. $2 billion &#8211; $3 billion earlier)&nbsp;for the year.
Meanwhile, BP continues to expect $25 billion&nbsp;of divestments and other proceeds from the second half of 2020 through 2025.
For 2024, BP expects capital expenditure of around&nbsp;$16 billion per annum.

BP Q3 2024 Adj. EPS $0.83 Beats $0.76 Estimate, Sales $47.254B Miss $52.557B Estimate

BP plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) shares fell 1.70% to $30.99 Monday as crude oil prices tumbled over 6%. The slump in oil prices, triggered by news of targeted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41575181/crude-oil-faces-steepest-one-day-drop-in-over-two-years-energy-stocks-plunge-prices">Israeli airstrikes in Iran</a>, weighed on BP's stock ahead of its third-quarter earnings report scheduled for Tuesday.
The company, a major player in global energy markets with diverse operations in oil, gas, and renewable energy, is highly sensitive to fluctuations in oil prices.
What Happened: Crude oil prices, as measured by the benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI), fell to $67 per barrel on Monday, the lowest point since early October and marking the steepest single-day drop since July 2022. 
The sell-off in oil markets was catalyzed by Israel's precise strikes on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567809/oil-etfs-plunge-premarket-after-israels-strikes-on-iran">Iranian military facilities</a>, which left the country's oil infrastructure unscathed. 
This measured response alleviated concerns that oil production or export channels might be affected, reducing the risk of major disruptions in the global oil supply. The stability in Iranian oil exports helped drive down oil prices, as any potential shortfall in supply was averted for the time being.

BP, with a significant portion of its revenues tied to crude oil production, is directly impacted by fluctuations in oil prices. Lower oil prices tend to compress the company's profit margins, as revenue from the upstream oil segment—exploration, extraction, and production of oil and gas—diminishes. 
Although BP has diversified into renewable energy and lower-carbon ventures, fossil fuels remain a core revenue stream, and a continued drop in oil prices would likely impact earnings.
What&#8217;s Next: The timing of Monday&#8217;s oil price slide is especially critical, as BP prepares to release its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BP/earnings">third-quarter earnings results</a>, confirmed for Tuesday&#8217;s pre-market session. 
The report will offer insight into how well the company is managing current market conditions and whether its diversification into renewables and alternative energy sources is beginning to provide substantial offsets to its traditional oil and gas business.
BP's third-quarter performance could also reflect broader market trends, including the impact of slowing global demand, notably from China and recent announcements from OPEC+ signaling an increase in production. 
Goldman Sachs and ING analysts have suggested that with no immediate threat to Iranian oil exports, and as the market returns to focusing on fundamentals, oil prices are likely to remain under pressure. The anticipated market surplus through 2025, compounded by sluggish demand growth, could pose ongoing challenges for BP's oil-dependent earnings.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy BP Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for BP &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of BP, which is trading at $30.86 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 3.24 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, BP has a 52-week high of $40.40 and a 52-week low of $30.52.

Amazon Vs. Walmart: E-Commerce Giant Offers Gas Savings To Prime Members, EV Charging Discounts In Latest Battle For Subscribers

Amazon Announced That Prime Members Can Now Save $0.10 Per Gallon At Approximately 7,000 BP, Amoco, And Ampm Gas Stations Across The US

LONDON (Reuters) - BP is considering selling a minority stake in its offshore wind business, according to four sources with knowledge of the matter, the latest effort by CEO Murray Auchincloss to scale back the energy company&#39;s focus on renewables.
The company has faced pressure from shareholders over its energy transition strategy, first launched in 2020, as renewables profit thinned while margins from oil and gas rose.
The London-listed oil company has lined up&nbsp;<a href="https://www.streetinsider.com/entities/BofAMerrill+Lynch">Bank of America</a>&nbsp;to find partners for the business, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the process is private. BP wants to reduce its share of the hefty investments required to develop these projects, two of the sources said.
A spokesperson for BP declined to comment.
BP remains committed to developing its major offshore wind projects, one source said. The company has also invested in solar, biofuels and low-carbon hydrogen in recent months.
Auchincloss, who took up the job in January, has vowed to revamp the company&#39;s plans to focus on the high-margin businesses, distancing himself from predecessor Bernard Looney&#39;s strategy to rapidly expand renewables and reduce oil and gas output.
BP&#39;s shares have trailed rivals so far this year amid investor concerns over its ability to sustain profits and shareholder payouts.
The company paused investments in new offshore wind projects, Reuters reported in June. Last month, BP said it plans to sell its U.S. onshore wind business.
The CEO has also said BP would sell a stake in its solar joint venture Lightsource BP once it completes its full&nbsp;<a href="https://www.streetinsider.com/entities/Definitive+Agreement">acquisition</a>&nbsp;in the coming months. He has also scrapped BP&#39;s flagship target to reduce oil and gas production by 25% between 2019 and 2030, sources told Reuters earlier this month.
BP currently does not have any offshore wind farms in operation. The offshore business has stakes in projects in Britain, Germany, the United States and Asia, and had a pipeline of projects with a capacity of 9.6 gigawatt at the end of June.
Last year, BP won the rights to develop, build and operate two plants in Germany with 4 GW capacity. BP committed to paying 6.7 billion euros ($7.27 billion) over a 20-year period when the projects become operational in the next decade.
In Britain, BP is also developing with its partner EnBW three windfarms in the Irish Sea and the North Sea with a combined capacity of 5.9 gigawatts.
The rapidly-growing offshore wind sector has had a tough few years as costs ballooned due to technical and supply chain problems as well as higher interest rates, leading many companies to review investments.
BP last year took an impairment of $1.1 billion related to its U.S. offshore wind projects, based on the company&#39;s annual statement. It later broke up a U.S. offshore wind joint venture with Norway&#39;s Equinor.
Other companies are also reconsidering their investments in offshore wind, or have assumed impairments, due to the rising cost of developing wind farms that can be more than 100 kilometres offshore.
Macquarie has marked its offshore unit Corio for sale, Reuters has previously reported, and Orsted, the world&#39;s biggest offshore wind farm developer, trimmed its investment and capacity targets earlier this year.
