Just to elaborate, that was in response to sharemania.

I have received divi with Halifax within the last half hour.

I have. It was within the last half hour.

Correct, $0.0661 as per Q4 2022.

The results download on BP website is somewhat misleading though.

Page 1 correctly states $0.0661 for Q4 2022, but page 24 has a table that shows $0.06006 as per Q4 2022.

Quite sloppy for such a large concern, particularly considering the extortionate fees that are probably paid out for accounting and auditing.

Thanks for that Littleaston,

Just been on London Stock Exchange website and can see the "transaction in own shares" notifications are still coming on a daily basis. Wonder why they stopped showing on here on 1st March. Must be due to the source being GNW instead of RNS. BP, Lloyds, Aviva etc still reporting daily buybacks on here.

Oh well, as long as they are still ongoing I'm happy.

Did Shell conclude the buyback on March 1st or halt it for some reason?

If you buy today you will NOT get the dividend.

Thanks Ciaskin & Bobbust

That's how I understand it Ciaskin.

But what about the other 6 (of the 14)?

Is there a chance they are slower to respond and a later scan may show signs? Is there scope for them to have further/increased doses? Or has it simply not worked for them?

Not now he won't, he's only worth $155bn ;)

Yes, and I for one am still here from the Fitbug days. Who also got bogged down in a legal dispute that ultimately went against them.

Not so sure Azerion have decided they can do it themselves so much as they do not feel the deal has turned out to quite as exclusive as they originally believed, what with Bids signing other deals and all. Bids must feel the other deals do not conflict with the Azerion deal, Azerion feel they do.

Worrying indeed.

$400,000,000 / 1,301,000,000 shares = roughly 30.75 cents.

At today's exchange rate of roughly $1.21 to the £1 the share price would be approximately 25.41p.

I had always been hoping for more than that, but would now take it in a flash.

Who have they got counting it, Jim Bowen?

Another good news story in the fight against cancer.

Tinker,

isn't it a poor show though, when a company the size of BP can issue it's results with incorrect data. I know these are massive and complex documents, but a lot of time and money goes in to preparing them, with so called expert accountants / auditors being engaged. They should be able to get it right.

Anyway, I'm happy with BP at the moment and am happy to continue holding. May take a few off the table if it goes above £5.

Unfortunately I think they would accept it.

Seems ridiculous saying "unfortunately" when I average just over 17p, but with the potential here, £2 could be very cheap indeed.

Lots of "ifs" of course, and still a long way to go, but the signs are very positive.

Tinker,
I agree that the Beeb article is a bit misleading, possibly deliberately so, and to people who don't actually follow the share, could cause outrage.

I just don't think it can be called a lie, when the fact is the Q3 2022 dividend is 10% higher than the Q2 2021 dividend(in Dollar terms). It could be deliberately provocative, I don't disagree with that.

However, it could simply be lazy. The actual results download from the BP website looks incorrect to me. Note 8. Dividends, on page 27 suggests the Q2 2022 dividend was 5.46c (4.356p) and that the Q3 2022 figure is 6.006c (5.168p), thus it looks like a 10% increase on last quarter. This is simply an error in the published numbers for me. The Q1 2022 figures were 5.46c (4.356p) and the Q2 2022 were 6.006c (5.168p). They've obviously got this wrong because the report shouldn't be showing a Q3 Sterling figure of 5.168p as we won't know the Sterling figure until 6th December.

Sorry for the rambling and the figures, but I just think it a bit poor that the official website can present the numbers wrong, possibly leading to incorrect interpretation.

Bottom line, I agree the BBC report is written in a way to increase calls for a WFT, but don't feel they can be accused of lying.

All the best

But it isn't a lie, the dividend is 10% more than Q3 last year.

Any set of results tends to refer to it's declared interim with reference to the previous year's interim, not to the last declared (final) dividend. I don't think anyone is claiming the dividend is a 10% increase on the last declared one (Q2), just on the equivalent quarter last year.

I suppose it's how you interpret it.

Thank you

Talking of privileged few, I can't see any evidence of this RNS that's being mentioned today.
