On June 24, BP fell 3.05% in pre-market trading, trading at $38.08/share, with turnover of approximately $17.51 million. The stock pulled back from its previous close of $39.10.
On the news front, Bank of America lowered its target price on BP from $37 to $35, while simultaneously cutting Shell's target from $95 to $89. The downgrade triggered broad selling pressure across integrated oil and gas names in pre-market trading, with the sector seeing collective declines.
Within the Integrated Oil & Gas sector, the overall tone was uniformly negative. Among individual stocks, Exxon Mobil down 1.95%, Chevron down 1.23%, Occidental down 2.28%, Shell down 2.11%, and Suncor down 1.15%. BP's decline of 3.05% outpaced sector peers, likely reflecting direct impact from the analyst downgrade. BP currently trades at a trailing P/E of approximately 32x and offers a dividend yield of around 5.09%.
