BP stock (GB0007980591) is trading at 540.1 pence as of September 3, 2026, with a market capitalization of GBP 83.44 billion and a 52-week range from 399.35 pence to 609.40 pence, according to AJ Bell.
Shell deal adds a fresh angle
Reuters reported on September 2, 2026 that Shell will acquire a stake in BP-operated Conifer prospect in the Gulf of Mexico, giving BP another headline around upstream assets and partner activity. The same Reuters item puts the story in the energy complex, where crude prices also remain a direct share-price driver.
BP's latest visible operating snapshot on AJ Bell shows 2025 liquids production at 1.2 million barrels a day and natural gas output at 6.5 billion cubic feet a day. It also shows proved hydrocarbon reserves of 6.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent at end-2025, with 56 percent liquids.
Price sits below the yearly peak
The share price of 540.1 pence is 11.4 percent below the 609.40 pence 52-week high and 35.4 percent above the 399.35 pence low, a gap that keeps the stock in the upper half of its yearly band. Volume stood at 379,475 shares, while the previous close was 542.50 pence.
BP shares, reserves and production
BP's latest market snapshot and operating figures give readers a compact view of valuation, scale and balance-sheet strength.
Conifer keeps BP in view
For investors, the combination of 2025 output at 1.2 million barrels of liquids per day, 6.5 billion cubic feet of gas per day and 6.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent in reserves matters more than a single intraday move. The stock's 540.1 pence level remains close to the prior close and well below the 52-week high, so the market is still pricing BP against both operational scale and oil-price sensitivity.
Oil scale and London quote
BP is an integrated energy company, and its London quote keeps the stock tied to crude, refining and asset-portfolio headlines rather than to one quarterly number alone. As of September 3, 2026, AJ Bell shows BP at 540.1 pence on the LSE, with market capitalization at GBP 83.44 billion.
