BP will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release.

Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $45.31 billion, down 37.22% from the prior-year quarter.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for BP. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
