An existential risk: can BP avoid becoming a prime takeover target?
- BP's falling value could make it an existential risk for the company, as it is now priced less than the sum of its parts, making it a prime takeover target for a company with deep pockets. The oil major has lost almost a quarter of its value in the past two years, despite rivals in Europe and the US growing in size and, in some cases, reporting record profits.
- The company has cut thousands of jobs from its global workforce to save billions in costs to appease investors after losing favour due to its plan to slash its oil and gas production in favour of green energy projects.
- BP's new strategy to tackle the company’s falling value, hefty debts and the market's scepticism of its green energy aspirations is expected to be presented by Murray Auchincloss at the company's capital markets day in London.
- While equity analysts believe that BP will confirm plans to discard an aim to reduce oil and gas production by the end of the decade, the company is also expected to scale back on spending on renewable energy.
- Giacomo Romeo says the company would need to divest some assets, including US onshore windfarms, retail fuel stations in the Netherlands, or its minority stake in the UK solar company Lightsource BP.
- Any plans to relaunch the company’s oil and gas production could be too little, too late if its new fossil fuel volumes come onstream only in the 2030s, when many expect oil consumption to have peaked.
- HSBC's head of European oil and gas research, Kim Fustier believes that a “holistic shift” in strategy is required by BP as it has a 'narrow window' to come up with a positive narrative and gain investor confidence for the company.
