In the second quarter, BP PLC reported a net adjusted profit of $5.73 billion, more than doubling from the previous year and surpassing Bloomberg's forecast of $5.01 billion. This profit increase was fueled by rising global oil and gas prices due to supply interruptions in the Middle East.
Additionally, BP's profit attributable to shareholders rose to $3.91 billion from $1.63 billion year-over-year. The company also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0866 per share. BP is initiating a potential sale of its U.S.-based biogas business, Archaea Energy, alongside other operational reductions, including previous sales of its Gelsenkirchen refinery and retail operations in Austria.
