In that report, analysts expect BP to post earnings of $0.53 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 53.91%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $78.86 billion, down 2.41% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $2.93 per share and revenue of $287.80 billion. These totals would mark changes of -22.89% and -5.25%, respectively, from last year.
