Experts have mixed opinions on BP PLC. Some believe that the company is well-positioned in the energy space and has a strong oil marketing and trading group, with good capital allocation, share buybacks and debt reduction. However, there are concerns about the company's history of accidents, currency risk, and environmental impact. The company is also seen as a large-cap oil player with potential for growth, but there are alternative Canadian companies that some experts prefer. Overall, the stock's performance seems to be influenced by factors such as oil price recovery, share buybacks, debt reduction, and capital allocation.

BP PLC

Large-cap oil will continue to do well. Using capital in shareholder-friendly ways. Lots of accidents over the years. Buying this takes on currency risk. Lots of great Canadian companies to own instead. He owns CNQ.

BP PLC

He likes the energy space since there is a tight supply. You need to see a breakout above recent highs before buying. He prefers Shell on the international scale. Pays a 3.3% dividend.

BUY
BP PLC

Buying back shares, increased dividend, paying down debt. Returning free cashflow to shareholders. Will continue to do that. Trying to be more environmentally friendly, but can't avoid that they're oil & gas. Capex will slowly go up. Throws up a lot of cash. Dividend is well supported.

DON'T BUY
BP PLC

Sell shares and buy Canadian energy instead.
Conventional oil production falling.
Misguided investments in renewables.
Not a good long term investment.

BUY
BP PLC
These companies had exploding capex, but then the world changed with ESG. So they paid down debt, bought back shares, increased dividends. Wants to be more in renewables, and his only issue is how much they pay for something. Undervalued. Doing all the right things. Non-aggressive capex, returning money to shareholders, and that's why it will continue to do well.

BUY
BP PLC
Likes the name. Technically, very sound. Quite cheap. Likes energy. Complete underinvestment in the energy space, so companies are returning capital to shareholders. He owns SHEL.

BUY
BP PLC
Given the cashflows and potential to raise dividends and do buybacks, you have to add large-cap, European integrated companies. Favours them over Canada, excluding SU, as they're not subject to the WCS discount. Great total return story the next few years. You could also look at SHEL or TTE. He'd buy here.

TOP PICK
BP PLC
Trades at a discount to peers. New CEO has transformed the company. Share buybacks, just raised dividend 10%. Nice balance between gas stations, LNG, offshore oil. Debt will continue to come down. Yield is 4.66%. (Analysts’ price target is $37.04)

PARTIAL SELL
BP PLC
Paying down debt, buying back shares, increasing dividend. Trying to be less into fossil fuels, more into renewables. Two risks: overspend on renewables, no clear vision on cost of capital. Oil is not sustainable at these high levels. In better shape than pre-Covid, lots of free cashflow. Good for now, but then think about Canadian oil companies that don't have the currency risk.

BUY
BP PLC
They're becoming an energy company and not merely oil and gas. They use their large cash flow to pay down debt and increase dividends. As they move into renewables, they concerned what their return on capital is. Oil prices are volatile but remain high, which is a plus. Could be some volatilty, but present share levels are fine.

Identity crisis spurred a move to greener energy. Better to find a pure play energy, or a pure play renewable. For energy, look at EOG or CNQ. Try BEP.UN for renewables.

TOP PICK
BP PLC
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As European countries develop new secure supply strategies, we think this company will play a big part in this going forward and that is why we again reiterate BP as TOP PICK. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 60% of cash flow. It trades at 14x earnings compared to peers at 17x and at just 1.1x book value. We like that the company continues to aggressively retire debt and buy back shares. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $26) to $28, looking to achieve $37 -- upside potential over 17%. Yield 4.11% (Analysts’ price target is $37.00)
