BP Stock Surges 534.68% in Trading Volume Ranking 25th as Acquisition Rumors Swirl

On June 25, 2025, BP's trading volume reached 20.90 billion, marking a significant 534.68% increase from the previous day. This surge placed BP as the 25th highest traded stock of the day. BP's stock price rose by 1.64%.

BP has been the subject of acquisition speculation, with reports suggesting that Shell is in early-stage talks to acquire the company. This potential deal has sparked significant interest in the market, with BP's value estimated to be around $80 billion. If a premium is included, the transaction could exceed $90 billion, making it one of the largest corporate oil deals in history. The potential merger has led to a surge in BP's stock price, with shares jumping more than 10% to a session high of $32.94. However, Shell has since refuted these claims, stating that no talks are currently taking place. Despite the denial, the market remains abuzz with the possibility of a major shake-up in the energy sector.
