BP ( (BP) ) has issued an announcement.
BP has filed a Form 6-K for the period ended 31 December 2025, providing management’s discussion and analysis, consolidated financial statements, details of legal proceedings, and capitalization and indebtedness for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. The filing shows that in the fourth quarter of 2025 BP recorded a loss attributable to shareholders of $3.4 billion but nonetheless ended the full year 2025 marginally profitable with $55 million attributable to shareholders, signalling operational resilience but continued earnings volatility that will be closely watched by investors and creditors.
The report, which covers performance over January–December 2025, highlights that non-controlling interests absorbed a substantial share of profits and that inventory holding gains and losses materially affected reported earnings. By incorporating this Form 6-K into a wide range of existing shelf and employee share-plan registration statements, BP is ensuring its latest financial and legal disclosures flow through to current and potential security holders, reinforcing transparency while underscoring the importance of 2025 results for the company’s funding flexibility and market positioning.
The most recent analyst rating on (BP) stock is a Hold with a $38.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on BP stock, see the BP Stock Forecast page.
