BP p.l.c. (NYSE: BP) starts $750 million buyback and posts 2026 dividend dates
BP p.l.c. has launched a new share buyback programme of around $750 million, running up to and including 6 February 2026, with the stated purpose of reducing its issued share capital. The programme is executed on the London Stock Exchange and Cboe (UK) under shareholder authority granted at the 2025 annual meeting and within pre-set trading parameters.
Across multiple days in November 2025, BP repurchased roughly 1.5 million ordinary shares of $0.25 each per trading day at volume‑weighted average prices generally in the 450–470 pence range, and intends to transfer these shares into treasury. Following the 28 November 2025 purchases, BP will hold 837,150,897 ordinary shares in treasury and have 15,649,162,097 ordinary shares and 12,706,252 preference shares in issue. BP also published its provisional 2026 dividend timetable online and disclosed routine share plan–related dealings by senior management.
