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. Bp
