BP Trading Volume Drops 30% Amid Acquisition Rumors Shell Denies Talks Ranked 306th in Market

On June 27, 2025, BP's trading volume was 3.00 billion, a 30.33% decrease from the previous day, ranking 306th in the day's stock market. BP's stock price rose by 0.12%.

BP has been the subject of acquisition rumors, with Shell reportedly in early talks to acquire the company. This potential deal could create one of the largest oil mergers in recent history. However, Shell has repeatedly denied these speculations, stating that it is focused on streamlining and simplifying its operations rather than pursuing a takeover. Despite the initial surge in BP's shares following the acquisition rumors, the gains were later pared back as Shell continued to deny any intention of making an offer. The situation remains fluid, with no clear indication of whether the talks will progress or if Shell will ultimately pursue the acquisition.
