BP--
BP, a leading oil group, has announced a breakdown of its net sales for the period, with petroleum product sales contributing 64%, natural gas sales at 12.9%, crude oil sales at 1.2%, and other activities at 21.9%. Export sales account for 68.9% of BP's net sales [2].
The company has also reported challenges in its plastics division, with earnings dropping 13% year-on-year in the first half of 2025 due to subdued global demand for stretch films [3]. Torrid, a retailer, has seen a decline in net sales by 7.7% in the second quarter of 2025, with adjusted EBITDA missing analysts' expectations [4].
These developments underscore the industry's ongoing challenges and the need for strategic adjustments. Companies are expected to focus on cost-cutting measures and consolidation to navigate the volatile market conditions.
