8 November 2025

Summary: BP’s U.S. ADR set a fresh 52‑week high on Friday as the company pressed ahead with daily share repurchases and crude prices stabilized into the weekend. Broker commentary during 6–7 November stayed constructive, while London filings confirmed chunky buybacks across both days. [1]

BP share price today (7 Nov 2025)

  • ADR close (NYSE: BP):$36.58, up ~2.1% on the day, marking a new 52‑week high and a fourth straight daily gain. MarketWatch also noted sub‑average volume, but enough momentum to eclipse the prior high set earlier this week. [2]

What changed on 6–7 November

1) Daily buybacks confirmed in London
BP disclosed two consecutive “Transaction in Own Shares” notices:

  • 7 Nov: Repurchased 1,546,843 ordinary shares, with venue‑level volume‑weighted average prices around 458.6p; the day’s ranges topped out near 462.35p. Shares are intended for treasury. [3]
  • 6 Nov: Repurchased 1,560,364 ordinary shares, VWAPs around 457.1p–457.5p across LSE and Cboe venues; intraday prices ranged roughly 454.05p–460.05p. Also headed to treasury. [4]

These prints show the new $750m Q4‑ahead buyback announced earlier in the week is now fully in motion, with steady daily execution. [5]

2) Oil price backdrop steadied
Crude trended firmer into Friday after mid‑week softness: Brent hovered ~$63–64/bbl on 6–7 Nov, with headlines citing oversupply concerns but a modest Friday rebound heading into the weekend. Saudi Arabia’s move to cut December OSPs and the latest OPEC+ supply signals also framed sentiment. For integrated majors like BP, even small stabilizations in crude can support short‑term equity moves. [6]

3) London market color
On 6 Nov, the FTSE 100 extended its upswing helped by energy shares; BP gained ~1.6–1.8% intraday alongside firmer oil. [7]

4) Fresh broker chatter
During the 6–7 Nov window, RBC reiterated “Sector Perform” on BP with a 500p price target, reflecting watchful optimism after the Q3 beat and buyback restart. (Aggregator summary.) [8]

Context for the week: Q3 results and payout cadence

BP’s Q3 2025 print earlier this week came in better than feared, with underlying RC profit around $2.2bn, operating cash flow ~$7.8bn, and a new $750m buyback targeted for completion before Q4 results. The dividend remains 8.32c per share (quarterly). These updates set the tone for the later‑week share‑price strength and the daily buyback notices on 6–7 Nov. [9]

Key takeaways for investors today

  • Momentum: The ADR closed at a 52‑week high on 7 Nov, extending a multi‑day rally. [10]
  • Direct support from buybacks: Two straight days of 1.55–1.56m shares retired into treasury underscore active capital returns during the current program. [11]
  • Macro still matters: Oil’s late‑week stabilization helped sentiment, but headlines continue to flag oversupply risk—keep an eye on OPEC+ signals and weekly U.S. inventory data. [12]
  • Street stance:RBC 500p (Sector Perform) adds to the picture of tempered but constructive broker views following the Q3 update. [13]

Timeline: 6–7 November (all times local market)

  • 6 Nov (London): BP files Transaction in Own Shares for 1,560,364 shares repurchased across LSE/Cboe; prices centered near 457p VWAP. [14]
  • 6 Nov (Europe afternoon): Oil edges up after a mid‑week dip; sentiment improves into the close. FTSE 100 extends gains; BP advances with energy peers. [15]
  • 7 Nov (London): Another BP buyback filing for 1,546,843 shares; ranges near 456–462p. [16]
  • 7 Nov (U.S. close):BP ADR finishes at $36.58, a new 52‑week high; rally stretches to four sessions. [17]

What to watch next

  • Daily RNS buyback prints: Expect continued disclosures while the $750m program runs toward completion ahead of the Q4 release window. [18]
  • Oil tape: Direction of Brent after the latest OPEC+/OSP headlines will remain a near‑term swing factor for BP’s beta. [19]

  • Strategy Inc. Announces Underwriting Agreement for Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock Issue
    November 8, 2025, 9:39 AM EST. Strategy Inc. (MSTR) has entered an underwriting agreement to issue 7,750,000 shares of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stream Preferred Stock at €80 each, aiming for ~€620 million gross (€608.8 million net) to fund general corporate purposes, including bitcoin acquisitions and working capital. Analysts show a Hold rating with a target near $246, while TipRanks' Spark AI Analyst rates the stock Neutral. The deal could bolster Strategy's liquidity and allow strategic investments, even as the company faces regulatory and valuation considerations. Investors will watch for how the newly raised capital influences leverage, Bitcoin strategy execution, and the stock's technical setup (current sentiment: Hold).
  • Conduent CNDT Q3 2025 Earnings Fuel Volume Surge and Short-Term Momentum
    November 8, 2025, 9:36 AM EST. Conduent Incorporated (CNDT) saw a notable volume surge after reporting Q3 2025 earnings that beat expectations. The stock hovered around $2.28, with a day high of $2.35, as investors responded to stronger performance in digital automation and transaction processing. The earnings beat helped lift sentiment despite a negative PEG and a C- rating/strong sell from analysts, highlighting ongoing concerns about revenue growth and cash flow. The stock's RSI at 18.60 suggests an oversold condition that could spark a near-term bounce, though long-term risks remain on the radar. In the outlook, CNDT focuses on expanding IT services in government and transportation, but investors should balance this near-term momentum against persistent headwinds in growth and profitability.
  • Portland General Electric Faces Dilution Risks as EPS Slips Despite Modest Profit Growth
    November 8, 2025, 9:24 AM EST. Portland General Electric's latest earnings release showed modest profit improvement, but a deeper issue lurks: share dilution. The company issued about 6.7% more shares over the past year, spreading net income across a larger base and helping explain why EPS fell even as reported profits climbed. Over three years, the firm posted a 22% annualized profit gain, yet EPS declined 0.04% annually and net income slid 12% last year. EPS fell 17% in that period, signaling dilution is eroding shareholder returns. Analysts forecast future profits, but without sustained EPS growth, upside in POR could be constrained. Investors should heed three warning signs attached to POR and watch for any plan to curb share issuance or lift per-share profitability.
  • Stephens Lowers Papa John's Price Target; Overweight View Persists for PZZA
    November 8, 2025, 9:22 AM EST. Stephens cut Papa John's (PZZA) target price from $50.00 to $49.00 while keeping an overweight rating, implying a potential upside of about 14% from current levels. The note contrasts with other analysts: Deutsche Bank raised targets to $46 (hold), Mizuho to hold, Bank of America remains neutral with a $50 target (down from $62), Stifel lifted to $42 (hold), and Weiss maintains a hold. Market consensus leans Hold with a $50.50 target from MarketBeat. In trading, PZZA opened around $42.82; the stock sports a $1.40B market cap, a P/E near 19, and a 52-week range of $30.16-$59.08. In the latest quarter, earnings missed estimates ($0.32 vs $0.40) amid modest revenue of $508.15M. Institutional activity notable with Brandes boosting stake.
  • York Water (NASDAQ:YORW) ROCE Decline Sparks Turnaround Watch
    November 8, 2025, 9:20 AM EST. Investors chasing a multi-bagger should watch trends in ROCE and the capital base. York Water (NASDAQ:YORW) posts a trailing ROCE of about 4.4%, roughly in line with the water utilities average of around 4.8%. Yet the ROCE trend has fallen from ~6.0% over five years, and the company has been reinvesting more capital without a clear lift in sales. That mix suggests early or longer-term returns may be muted. The stock also shows a -23% performance over five years, signaling investor hesitation about a near-term turnaround. Overall, while reinvestment continues, the returns are shrinking and the case for a rapid multi-bagger is not strong. Investors should heed the two highlighted risks and monitor upcoming earnings for any improvement.
