Welcome to our dedicated page for Bp Plc SEC filings (Ticker: BP), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
BP p.l.c. filings document a foreign private issuer that reports under Form 20-F and furnishes current information on Form 6-K. The company’s regulatory record includes group results, trading statements, operating cash flow, capital expenditure, dividends, debt metrics, upstream production, downstream reliability, and market conditions affecting oil, gas and refined products.
BP’s filings also disclose share capital, total voting rights, treasury shares, preference shares, employee share-scheme transfers, director and PDMR share transactions, and Annual General Meeting voting results. Certain Form 6-K reports are incorporated by reference into registration statements for BP p.l.c. and related BP Capital Markets issuers, linking periodic disclosures to securities registration and employee share-plan records.
BP p.l.c. reported a weak fourth quarter 2025 with a $3.4 billion loss attributable to shareholders and full-year profit of just $0.1 billion, driven largely by sizeable impairment charges in its transition businesses. Underlying replacement cost (RC) profit was stronger, at $1.5 billion for the quarter and $7.5 billion for 2025, down from $1.2 billion and $8.9 billion in 2024 as lower liquids realizations and softer gas marketing and trading offset better customers & products performance.
Operating cash flow remained solid at $7.6 billion in the quarter and $24.5 billion for the year, while finance debt declined to $58.0 billion and net debt to $22.2 billion, with gearing at 23.1%. BP announced a fourth-quarter dividend of 8.320 cents per ordinary share and 32.960 cents for the full year, but the board decided to suspend share buybacks and redirect excess cash to strengthening the balance sheet, retiring previous guidance of returning 30-40% of operating cash flow.
Segment results were mixed: gas & low carbon energy swung to a Q4 RC loss of $2.2 billion after $3.2 billion of net impairments, oil production & operations remained profitable but lower year on year, and customers & products delivered a sharply higher underlying result on stronger refining margins and structural cost reductions. BP agreed to sell a 65% shareholding in Castrol at a $10.1 billion enterprise value, expects $6 billion of 2026 proceeds from this transaction, and plans 2026 capital expenditure of $13-13.5 billion with divestment and other proceeds of $9-10 billion.
BP p.l.c. reports its share capital and total voting rights as at 31 January 2026. The company has 15,719,635,323 ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares), each carrying one vote, and 12,706,252 preference shares of £1 par value, with two votes for every £5 in nominal capital held.
BP also holds 766,677,671 ordinary shares in treasury, which do not carry dividend or voting rights. In total, there are 15,724,717,823 voting rights in BP p.l.c., a figure shareholders can use to assess whether they must notify holdings or changes under UK disclosure rules.
BP p.l.c. reports January 2026 share repurchases, voting-holdings notifications and director-related updates. On multiple trading days between 5 and 30 January 2026, the company bought between 2,791,510 and 3,200,000 ordinary shares of $0.25 each on the London Stock Exchange and Cboe (UK) under the buyback programme announced on 4 November 2025, with daily volume‑weighted average prices typically in the mid‑400 pence range, including 460.3139 pence on 30 January 2026.
BP intends to transfer these repurchased shares into treasury under authority from its 2025 Annual General Meeting. After the 30 January 2026 purchases, it held 772,294,758 ordinary shares in treasury, with 15,714,018,236 ordinary shares and 12,706,252 preference shares in issue (excluding treasury shares). TR‑1 notifications show a shareholder’s voting rights position at 2.999070% of voting rights, with hundreds of millions of voting rights attached to ordinary shares and ADSs. The filing also records small share acquisitions through the BP ShareMatch UK Plan by the interim CEO and the chief financial officer, and notes that Albert Manifold, BP’s non‑executive chair, is expected to join the board of Clariant International AG as a non‑executive director from 1 April 2026, subject to Clariant shareholder approval.
BP p.l.c. issues a trading statement outlining expectations for fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results. Reported upstream production in the fourth quarter is expected to be broadly flat versus the prior quarter, with oil production & operations broadly flat and gas & low carbon energy lower. Segment results are being affected by weaker realizations, with gas & low carbon energy and oil production & operations each seeing estimated negative impacts of up to several hundred million dollars compared with the third quarter.
Customers & products is expected to face seasonally lower customer volumes and broadly flat fuels margins, while stronger realized refining margins of around $0.1 billion are offset by heavier turnaround activity and temporary capacity loss after a fire at the Whiting refinery; the oil trading result is expected to be weak. Fourth-quarter results are expected to include post-tax impairments of $(4) to (5) billion, mainly in transition businesses in gas & low carbon energy, excluded from underlying replacement cost profit. Net debt is expected between $22 and $23 billion versus $26.1 billion at the end of the third quarter, supported by about $3.5 billion of divestment proceeds in the quarter and around $5.3 billion for the full year. The underlying effective tax rate for 2025 is now expected to be about 42%, up from prior guidance of around 40%. Full-year and fourth-quarter 2025 results are scheduled for publication on 10 February 2026.

Between 1 and 18 December, the company repurchased multiple daily blocks of its ordinary shares of $0.25 each, typically around 1.5–1.7 million shares per day, on the London Stock Exchange and Cboe (UK) under the buyback programme announced on 4 November 2025, at volume‑weighted average prices generally between about 424 and 462 pence per share. The repurchased shares are being transferred into treasury, increasing treasury holdings from 838,644,900 to 858,649,137 ordinary shares and reducing ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury) from 15,647,668,094 to 15,627,663,857.

BP p.l.c. has agreed to sell a 65% shareholding in its Castrol lubricants business to Stonepeak at an enterprise value of $10.1 billion, implying an EV/LTM EBITDA multiple of about 8.6x. BP expects total net proceeds of roughly $6.0 billion, including around $0.8 billion of accelerated dividend payments on its retained 35% stake, and plans to use all proceeds to reduce net debt.
The deal forms part of BP’s previously announced $20 billion divestment programme and lifts completed and announced divestment proceeds to about $11.0 billion. As of the end of 3Q 2025, BP’s net debt stood at $26.1 billion, and the company is targeting net debt of $14–18 billion by the end of 2027.
After completion, expected by the end of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals, Castrol will operate as a new joint venture owned 65% by Stonepeak and 35% by BP. BP highlights Castrol’s nine consecutive quarters of year-on-year earnings growth and says the retained stake maintains exposure to this growth. BP does not expect to recognize earnings or receive dividends from Castrol in the short to medium term and notes that Stonepeak has a preference on distributions.
