Ah hairydavey, go easy on the idiot shorters !! Aren't we all greeeedy ?!! Saw someone mentioned a £7.20 share price 😃

JAS78, Yeah, just generated Gemini AI response, part of which is "Market Sentiment: Prediction markets currently give a 19% chance of a permanent peace deal being finalised by May 31, reflecting significant skepticism."

So 19% chance of an agreement according to Google's AI !! BP VERY STRONG BUY !!

Admit I sold my 3,000+ Ceres shares too soon (v their rise yesterday) at 618p last week, having more than doubled in 4 months, because was concerned I had too much invested in Green Hydrogen, also have small amount in AFC, and have more confidence in ITM's journey. Thus great to see ITM (and AFC) continuing its rise today !!

Formerlyeasyp, "Oil going to $30.....not for a year or two imo." And then Labour can have a "reverse EPL" and financially support all the oil and gas cos that have been paying the EPL since it started !!

Saw that TerryM1, as I'm also with ii, and gives confidence to be invested in by such a high income Trust fund.

Rookie1, Trump may agree to it all, as you say, but will Iran receive everything, eg compensation for reparations, all assets released, all sanctions cancelled 🤣?

Sekforde, why would the "oil companies [be] cast as the main villains" for high oil prices ? Are Undertakers blamed for the deaths of those they bury/cremate ? Are doctors blamed for the illnesses of their patients ?

FangKat, that 60-day rule being delayed during a ceasefire argument by White House is on very shaky ground as nothing is stated within the legislation allowing such a delay. However, the uncertainty of the latter argument and Congress threats to stop the war are probably behind Trump's willingness to possibly basically give in to Iran's demands. Oil prices will remain over $85 for rest of 2026 I predict even IF this "Peace Deal" is agreed and holds.

Spights, if only we could know what President Xi will be / is thinking in reality, not what's said, about Trump 🤭!!

I don't - 1 against to start this off ?

JAS78, first thought I had too, threatening bad consequences for your other party unless they agree to a specific deal amounts to coercion surely so is it, therefore, legally binding ? Up late this morning and hoped the stock market jump up was because Donald had decided finally to "end it all" !! Very disappointed when I read it's simply because of "hopes" of an agreement sourced from P a k i stan !! Ah well, don't want to sour today's Party !!

Gemini AI - "As of late April/early May 2026, Goldman Sachs maintains a "Buy" rating on BP PLC (LON: BP), recently reiterating this stance with a target price around GBX 650–680 per share. Analysts, including Michele della Viana, are positive, citing strong Q1 2026 earnings, "exceptional" trading gains, and a strategic focus on capital efficiency."

Gemini AI cites the following which is materially my view also:

"As of May 2026, analyst consensus for BP p.l.c. (BP) is generally a "Moderate Buy" to "Overweight," with a focus on strong operational metrics and, in some cases, high valuation upside. Average 12-month price targets suggest a potential upside of approximately +8.27% from recent levels. Ratings commonly include a mix of holds and buys, with a focus on 2025/2026 EBITDA targets.Analyst Ratings Summary (as of early May 2026):Consensus Recommendation: Overweight / Moderate BuyActionable Ratings: Roughly 8–12 analysts hold a "Buy/Strong Buy" position, with 10–15 holding, and a small minority recommending "Sell".Price Targets: Average 12-month target around 620–650 GBX, with a high estimate over 700 GBX.Key Analyst Considerations:Positive (Bulls): Strong operational performance (1.1M barrels of liquids/day), high LNG portfolio flexibility, and improved cash flow.Negative (Bears): Slower debt reduction compared to peers like Shell and ExxonMobil, alongside high exposure to oil price volatility.Valuation: Some analysis suggests BP remains undervalued on a price-to-sales basis compared to peers.Credit Ratings:Fitch: A+ (Stable)S&P: A- (Positive)Disclaimer: Analyst ratings and forecasts are subject to change and do not guarantee future performance."

A few recent price targets issued by analysts are from 650p to 700p so maybe 650p is my target !!

Harmonica, could the BP price also be now reflecting a possibility of them leaving the UK given that indication last week ?

I don't think the current price does reflect the current higher Brent price and their potential moving forward tbh, but there are large sellers keeping the price down at present.

Fordm, I admit I am in such awe of your exceptional intelligence, insight and talents, but surely there's nothing wrong with moving countries to reduce a considerable tax burden ? Monaco has much better weather and is also probably better socially.

Fordm, maybe people should use public transport more, walk or cycle more or simply not go out ? Too many cars on the road anyway, especially the very large more dangerous SUV's.

Agreed wookiee...., Rheinmetall's experts would have spent lots of time researching before signing with ITM. And why didn't HUI throw its hat in the ring ? ITM is way ahead.

JR69, HUI needs some external power surely ? The plastics waste doesn't just miraculously convert !! Why didn't HUI contact Rheinmetall or the UK Govt as isn't that what businesses are meant to do to sell product, etc . ? I bet that HUI were considered but rejected for various scientific reasons ?

Gustavk, all "potential" !!

Spights, oh dear, didn't Donald teach his warship navy personnel to respect an order to stop from IRNG ? How much more cost of damage now, another $1b or two .... ?
