BP Stock Surges 3.55% on 4.13 Billion Trading Volume Ranked 213th in Market

On July 11, 2025, BP's trading volume reached 4.13 billion, marking a 100.27% increase from the previous day, ranking 213th in the day's stock market. BP's stock price rose by 3.55%, marking the fourth consecutive day of gains, with a total increase of 7.90% over the past four days.

BP has announced that lower oil and gas prices are expected to impact its second-quarter earnings, despite higher output and stronger refining margins. The company's realizations in the oil production and operations segment are anticipated to be $600 million to $800 million lower in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. Brent oil prices averaged $67.88 per barrel in the second quarter, down from $75.73 per barrel in the first quarter. Additionally, BP's gas and low carbon energy segment is expected to see realizations up to $300 million lower than the previous quarter, influenced by changes in non-Henry Hub natural gas marker prices.

Despite the expected reduction in profits due to lower oil prices, BP's shares rose in London after the trading statement was released. The company noted that its upstream production in the second quarter is expected to be higher compared to the prior quarter, and there has been a marked rise in refining margins in the downstream division. BP has been under pressure from activist investor Elliott to cut costs and boost share performance, leading to market speculation about potential acquisitions in the sector.
