BP stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If BP's earnings keep growing at the 11.5% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 4.97 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (6.7 to 13.1) that is 33.41 to 65.06 a share, or 52.45 at its average P/E of 10.5. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 8.48 | 56.97 | 89.42 | 110.93 |
| FY2027 | 5.77 | 38.73 | 60.79 | 75.41 |
| FY2028 | 4.00 | 26.85 | 42.15 | 52.29 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 4.46 | 29.95 | 47.02 | 58.33 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 4.97 | 33.41 | 52.45 | 65.06 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 11.5% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (6.7, 10.5, 13.1).
