  • BP Shares Surge 42.9% in One Year but Remain Undervalued, Analysts Say
    April 1, 2026, 5:35 PM EDT. BP's shares have surged 42.9% over the past year, closing recently at £5.843, raising questions about valuation after strong gains. Despite the rally, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model suggests BP remains undervalued by around 70.7%, with an estimated intrinsic value of £19.94 per share. The model projects free cash flows rising to US$17.41 billion by 2030. BP trades at a Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio of 0.64x, indicating pricing below industry peers. Analysts highlight BP's balance between traditional oil and energy transition, with ongoing reassessment of risks and opportunities. Investors are advised to monitor valuation metrics as the stock shows potential for gains despite recent price jumps.
