This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

The reviews for BP PLC reflect a divided sentiment among experts. One expert highlights that BP has experienced a significant parabolic move in its stock price, suggesting that investors may consider selling to secure their gains at this peak. This perspective indicates a bullish sentiment toward the current valuation and a recommendation for profit-taking. In contrast, another expert expresses skepticism about BP's strategic direction, criticizing the company for heavily investing in alternative energy rather than leveraging its traditional strengths in oil and gas. This criticism hints at a lack of confidence in BP's long-term growth trajectory and suggests a preference for more established companies in the sector, like Cenovus Energy (CVE). Collectively, these reviews indicate a cautious outlook on BP's future and a potential shift in investment preferences among analysts. Investors should weigh these contrasting opinions carefully before making any decisions regarding BP's stock.

DON'T BUY
Doesn’t want anything with a potential big problem.
DON'T BUY
Has not felt there was an opportunity in the last 6 months based on their challenges. Too risky for his style of investing.
DON'T BUY
A damaged company and probably undervalued here. The liability is still pretty open-ended and will be for quite some time. There are so many better oils that don’t have their problems.
DON'T BUY
If you are bullish on oil, there are plenty of in there names. You would be throwing a number of other risks onto the investment that you don’t need. Prefers Transocean if you want to play the gulf
DON'T BUY
He tries not to buy broken companies hoping that they will get fixed. He prefers companies that are good and are getting better and that have the fundamental characteristics and numbers that support this and that the market supports it as well.
DON'T BUY
Wants more clarity on how the whole situation in the Gulf will unfold. There will be more reports in December and into next year.
TOP PICK
Controversial but thinks it's time. Basic company and thesis remains intact. Some of the best oil/gas leases anywhere in the world. Will increasingly be a “go to” name. Can see 35%-40% upside.
DON'T BUY
Since the spill, stock has recovered significantly partially because of oil prices. Situation will continue to have an overhang. Company is selling off about $30 billion in assets to pay for their liability but that could go up to 45 billion in the case of gross negligence.
DON'T BUY
There is risk in the stock market, risk in oil prices and oil stocks are cheap, so why throw the additional risk of litigation on top of this.
DON'T BUY
Cheaply valued but would avoid until controversy is well behind them. Safer way to play this area would be the rig operator, Transocean (RIG-N).
COMMENT
Had a dead cat bounce because it sold off so tremendously and then people thought it had been oversold giving it a bounce followed by a correction. Thinks there is a little bit more on the upside, maybe towards $44. Use of $34 stop loss. For traders only at this stage.
DON'T BUY
It’s tough enough in non-controversial oil companies. Adding the controversy is a layer he doesn’t need.
TOP PICK
You’re sitting listening to all the headline risk. With the US court system, it will be years, probably 12. Thinks risks are overblown. Gulf of Mexico is only 10% of cash flow. There’s been no impact on aggregate cash flow to Gulf Coast businesses from the spill. They have been flat year over year. BP are strong fundamentally. This is one of the great energy companies.
DON'T BUY
The legal system in the US can have completely incalculably consequences. If they are found grossly negligent, every fisherman in the Gulf will sue them.
DON'T BUY
We are only up to 2009 levels. There is a huge liability risk. We are talking about the States so there is no way to estimate the liability.
