BP share price slips today: buyback update, oil wobble and Feb 10 results in focus
LONDON, Jan 20, 2026, 09:07 GMT — Regular session. BP Plc (BP.L) shares dropped 1.0% to 433.22 pence by 0907 GMT, following a 0.6% decline on Monday. (MarketScreener) This matters since BP is a heavyweight in London’s FTSE 100 and a key crude proxy for the market. When oil prices shift, BP usually follows suit, even without new company news. Investors keep circling back to a familiar question: just how reliable are the cash returns? BP’s buybacks, where the company scoops up its own shares, have played a major role in the story as oil prices continue to bounce around.
