中國石化新聞網訊 據道瓊斯2月8日消息,英國石油公司(BP)公布了疲軟業績,并宣布今年實現盈虧平衡所需的油價水平為60美元/桶,這對于關注該公司第四季度業績的投資者來說是一個令人不高興的意外消息,但巴克萊表示,這個決定是BP做出的短期犧牲。該公司在進行了一系列收購之后計劃在今年進一步增加支出,導致覆蓋支出及股息所需的油價水平上升。另一方面,巴克萊稱,基于其對該公司截至2020年的前景分析,相對于以前的業務組合,同樣的收購交易將有助于提高BP的自由現金流產生潛力以及韌性。巴克萊還表示:“我們仍認為BP正進入一個新的增長階段?!?br />

DJ BP Entering “New Phase of Growth”, Says Barclays
BP PLC’s weak earnings and announcement that it needed $60 a barrel to breakeven this year were an unpleasant surprise for investors looking at its fourth quarter results, but Barclays says that decision is a “short-term sacrifice.” The company made plans to spend more this year after a series of acquisitions, driving up the oil price it needs to cover costs and dividend payouts from cash. On the other hand, “the same acquisitions serve to increase both BP’s free cash flow generation potential and resilience on our analysis by 2020 relative to the previous portfolio,” says Barclays. “We remain convinced that BP is entering a new phase of growth,” it adds.
