The BP share ($BP. (+0,59%) / ISIN: GB0007980591) is currently the focus of many investors. After falling by over 25% in the last twelve months, the share price is currently trading at around €4.27 . The 52-week low was € 3.91 on April 11, 2025.

In the first quarter of 2025, BP fell well short of profit expectations: adjusted profit amounted to $ 1.38 billion, while analysts had expected $ 1.65 billion . In addition, the share buyback program was reduced from $1.75 billion to $750 million, which caused displeasure among investors. Net debt rose to USD 27 billion, which limits the company's financial flexibility.

One possible ray of hope is the interest of $SHEL (-0,33%) in a takeover of BP. Shell is closely monitoring the BP share price and the oil price trend before taking any concrete steps. Such a merger could help BP to overcome structural problems and exploit synergies.

Despite the current challenges, BP offers an attractive dividend yield of around 6.7% . However, analysts are divided: of 30 experts surveyed, 12 recommend buying the shares, 17 recommend holding and one recommends selling .

Conclusion: BP shares are in a difficult phase with financial and strategic challenges. However, the possible takeover interest from Shell could provide new impetus. Investors should monitor developments closely and weigh up their decisions carefully.

Ps: Does anyone have the dates of the quarterly figures for $SHEL (-0,33%) ? Unfortunately I can't find them online.

After making my first small investments of a few hundred euros in the stock market in February '25, I added a larger amount in the course of April. It also took some time to develop an investment strategy; where do I want to invest? What risk do I want to take? Accumulating or distributing? ETFs and/or individual shares? If so, which ones and why? Are there specific countries and/or sectors I would like to focus on?

Only at the end of last week were all the answers to these questions clear: a long-term investment horizon of just over 35 years with relatively low risk. A healthy ETF/share mix of 60/40. Distributing portfolio with high-yield and high-growth positions and with a relative focus on the USA and Europe.

I have a good feeling that I am happy with my strategy in the long term and finally no longer have to constantly turn the entire portfolio inside out.

My ETFs and individual stocks are $HMWO (+0,46%)
$TDIV (+0,88%)
$DGSD (+0,34%)
$MAIN (+3,11%)
$NOVO B (-2,62%)
$PGR (+1,93%)
$PSA (+1,58%)
$UKW (+0,77%)
$APH (+0,53%)
$DHL (-0,99%)
$HSBA (+0,61%)
$MUX (-1,21%)
$NEE (-0,48%)
$ZTS (+1,88%)
$AFL (+1,18%)
$O (+1,62%)
$SHEL (-0,33%)
$VID (-1,01%)
$RACE (+1,12%)
$PLD (+0,8%)
$OMV (+1,22%)
$PAL (-0,82%)
$RIO (-0,45%) and last but not least $VOW (-0,99%)
