據道瓊斯7月18日消息，Panmure Gordon分析師Colin Smith稱，預計英國石油公司(BP)將把第二季度股息削減近三分之二。Smith稱：“考慮到BP的杠桿情況，殼牌削減股息的消息，長期現金創造預期減弱，加之BP致力于能源轉型之際，其未來狀況、利潤和現金流可能存在不確定性，削減股息可能性存在。”Panmure Gordon預計BP第二季度股息將從之前的10.5美分削減至4美分。

BP Expected to Cut Dividend

BP PLC is expected to cut its dividend in its second quarter earnings by almost two-thirds, says analyst Colin Smith at Panmure Gordon. Mr. Smith says a cut is likely, "given the leverage position, the cover provided by Shell's dividend cut, a likely lowered view of longer term cash generation, and probable uncertainty over the future profile and earnings and cash flow as BP commits to the energy transition." Panmure Gordon expects a quarterly dividend of 4 cents, down from 10.5 cents.
