BP's Accelerated Strategy Could Unlock Significant Value -- Market Talk
Dow Jones01-27
1243 GMT - BP stands at a crossroads but there is significant upside if it delivers on its strategy, Barclays's analyst Lydia Rainforth writes. The incoming CEO and refreshed board can accelerate the British energy major's push to become a simpler and more profitable business, Rainforth says. However, the company's capital-allocation credibility is severely impaired, she says. It needs to change how it communicates with investors and specify how the capital-allocation processes that led to expensive write-downs has changed, she says. BP's shares rise 0.25% to 4.46 pounds.
