-- RBCキャピタル・マーケッツは、BP(BP.L)の第1四半期決算発表後、同社の業績予想を「小幅に修正」したが、セクター・パフォームのレーティングと目標株価7ポンドは据え置いた。 「新CEOのメグ・オニール氏は、現在の価格環境に大きく支えられ、好調な業績で就任をスタートさせた」とアナリストは火曜日に述べた。「この点において、BPの石油トレーディング事業は(予想通りではあるが、予想をやや上回る)第1四半期の際立った業績となり、コンセンサス予想を下回った上流部門の業績(石油生産・操業:6%減、ガス・低炭素:10%減)を補った」。 そのため、同調査会社は2026年の石油生産・操業(OPO)とガス・低炭素(GLC)の収益予想を引き下げる一方、下流部門の収益予想を引き上げた。 2026年のEPS(1株当たり利益)予測は2.6%、2027年は2.4%、2028年は2.5%それぞれ下方修正された。 一方、アナリストらは、石油・ガス会社BPがハイブリッド燃料の保有量を削減する計画は、事業の負債削減に向けた「前向きな一歩」だと評価している。BPは2026年末までに、同社が設定した「保守的な」純負債目標を上回ると予想している。

Crude Oil Prices Surge as U.S. Plans to Extend Iran Blockade, Fueling Supply Worries

Crude oil prices jumped on Wednesday, with Brent crude reaching a one-month high, amid reports that the U.S. plans to extend its blockade of Iranian ports.Brent crude at last look surged 3.2% to US$114.76/barrel and West Texas Intermediate crude climbed 3.5% to $103.40/barrel. U.S. President Donald Trump has instructed aides to prepare for an extended blockade, Reuters said in a Wednesday report, citing The Wall Street Journal.The move will prolong supply disruptions in the Middle East despite a ceasefire in the war with Iran, as talks to end the war have stalled, the report said."The recent rise in oil prices has been driven by the Strait blockade. If Trump is prepared to extend the blockade, supply disruptions would worsen further and continue to push oil prices higher," Reuters quoted Yang An, an analyst at Haitong Futures, as saying.Investors are also digesting market impacts of the United Arab Emirates' announcement to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, according to the report. However, analysts do not see major near-term impacts so far."The United Arab Emirates' exit from OPEC+ formalises the organisations weaker cohesion, but the near-term impact is limited," Reuters quoted an ANZ Research note as saying. "The move reflects long-standing quota tensions, but prices are still being driven more by geopolitics, inventories and logistics than by institutional changes."
