BP Stock Today (7 November 2025): ADR Hits 52‑Week High as Buybacks Continue; Oil Steadies and Brokers Weigh In

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]

Stock Market Today

  • Entravision Communications (NYSE:EVC) Announces $0.05 Dividend Amid Sustainability Questions
    November 8, 2025, 8:16 AM EST. Entravision Communications (NYSE:EVC) has reaffirmed a $0.05 per-share dividend payable on December 31, delivering a dividend yield around 6.9%. While the steady payout adds to investor income, questions loom over dividend sustainability: the company has been paying without profits and is not generating free cash flow, raising doubts about long-term viability of the distribution. Projections show a potential EPS rise of about 67.7% next year only if recent trends hold, but a return to profitability isn't guaranteed. As a result, management may face a choice between preserving the dividend or shoring up the balance sheet. Although the historic dividend has been relatively stable, the high payout ratio and earnings decline suggest caution for income-focused investors.
  • Dominion Energy Earnings Healthy, Yet Dilution Threatens EPS Growth
    November 8, 2025, 8:14 AM EST. Dominion Energy posted strong earnings, but the market reaction has been muted due to share dilution. Over the last year the company issued 103% more new shares, spreading net income across a larger base and suppressing EPS despite a 33% profit gain and a 164% three-year rise in net income. The contrast between higher profits and rising shares underscores that dilution is eating into per-share returns. Analysts' forward profitability estimates and interactive graphs exist, but investors should assess whether underlying earnings power exceeds statutory profit. In the end, EPS growth remains the key for long-term stock upside; if profits rise while EPS stalls, the share price may not follow. The piece also flags several risks and warning signs to consider.
  • Polestar Faces Nasdaq Bid-Price Rule Violation: Valuation in Focus as PSNY Trades Around $0.75
    November 8, 2025, 8:12 AM EST. Polestar Automotive UK (NasdaqGM:PSNY) faces a Nasdaq notice for trading below the $1.00 minimum bid price. Shares sit around $0.75, with a 1-year total return of about -39% and fading momentum. European expansion via a dealership partnership offers positive development, but investors still weigh valuation risk and funding dependence. Analysts' fair value targets hover near $1.00, flagging upside potential but tempered by persistent cash burn and potential shareholder dilution from new equity. The stock trades at a 0.7x price-to-sales multiple, well below the US Auto average (1.1x) and peers (1.7x), though a 0.4x fair valuation suggests the market may already price in risk. Bottom line: an entry point could exist if growth levers align, but regulatory risk and funding needs keep downside in play.
  • Expeditors International of Washington Announces $0.77 Dividend (EXPD) with Steady Payout Prospects
    November 8, 2025, 8:10 AM EST. Expeditors International of Washington (NYSE: EXPD) announced a dividend of $0.77 per share to be paid on December 15. The yield is modest at about 1.1%, but earnings comfortably cover the payout, supporting a likely sustainable payout ratio near 24% next year as EPS is forecast to rise by ~10.1%. The stock has a long history of steady distributions, growing from $0.72 to $1.54 annually since 2015, a rough 7.9% annual growth. Over five years, EPS growth has averaged around 11% per year, underpinning the dividend's durability and cash flow generation. While it looks like a solid long-term income stock, investors should note one identified warning sign to monitor.
  • Fair Isaac (NYSE:FICO) 2025 Results: Analysts Forecast 28% EPS Rise and 22% Revenue Growth in 2026
    November 8, 2025, 8:09 AM EST. Fair Isaac shares rose 4.8% to about US$1,740 after reporting yearly results. The company delivered revenue of US$2.0b and statutory EPS of US$26.54, in line with expectations. Following the print, analysts lifted their outlook: for 2026, consensus calls for US$2.44b in revenue (+22% year over year) and EPS of US$34.84 (+28%). Pre-report models had been US$2.39b and US$33.70. The street's price target sits at US$2,008, with a wide range from US$1,230 to US$2,400. Growth forecasts imply about 22% annualized growth to end-2026, above the five-year history of 8.7% and above the industry norm of ~15%. Importantly, earnings optimism rose while near-term revenue forecasts were broadly unchanged.
