what happened
Earnings Preview reports, citing LSEG data, that BP will publish results on October 30 for the period ending September 30, 2026. The mean forecast of seven analysts points to revenue up 34.1%, to $66.067 billion from $49.25 billion a year earlier.
Consensus earnings stand at $2.21 per share, a figure that has not changed over the past three months. Among analyst recommendations, 11 are buy or strong buy, 7 hold and 3 sell or strong sell. The median 12-month price target is $53.90, roughly 10.2% above the last close of $48.93.
In the previous quarter BP beat forecasts, reporting $2.22 per share against an estimate of $1.79, a surprise of 23.9%.
why it matters
The release will test whether revenue and profit meet expectations for the oil major. Last quarter's beat shows how far actual results can diverge from consensus, and such gaps usually move the shares after a report.
