BP’s share price is no higher today than it was over two decades ago — so why are investors starting to look at it again?

In this episode of the Intelligent Wealth Podcast, we explore whether BP could be a genuine turnaround opportunity or simply a long-term value trap.

We discuss the company’s historical performance, including its lack of share price growth despite strong cash flow and consistent dividends. We also compare BP to major competitors such as Shell and ExxonMobil, and examine why it has underperformed in recent years.

The conversation covers BP’s strategic shift back towards oil and gas, the role of new leadership and activist investors, and how global energy demand and geopolitics could impact the company’s future.

We also break down key financial metrics, including valuation, returns on capital, and dividend yield, before sharing our personal views on whether BP is worth considering as an investment today.
