BP p.l.c. (ADR) (NYSE:BP)

BP was about $60 at the time of the Gulf Oil crisis. BP has about 300 billion dollars worth of assets. With a cost estimated around $30 billion dollars, the price should have only dropped 10% or to about 54 dollars. Thus at these levels BP is still a bargain and still remains severely oversold. At $54 BP will be fairly valued.

Energy stocks to outperform the next couple of years - especially oil.. and especially when BP's 'fine' turns out better than expected and they start to pay dividends again.

BIG OIL!!! always makes money

Americans are known for a short memory and a love of all things petroleum. The spill was a PR nightmare and people vowed to boycott BP. Yet, as gas pump prices edge toward $3.20 a gallon in Los Angeles, I'm seeing more customers at discount ARCO stations filling up on BP gasoline. This company will recover and the $44 dollar stock price will return to the $60 range. $15-20 a share? I'll take it.

Once OBAMA is no more POTUS!!!

Inflation, and plus this bad boy is just beaten down.

This stock has been beat down after the Gulf oil incident and is on the track to recovery. When they reinstate the dividend in 2011 is should be on its way back to $60+ within a year or two.

We are an oil driven country. BP is down because of its spill. Only a matter of time... till its back to 60+

BP will resume its dividend next year in all likelihood. It has assets world-wide which are valued much lower than comparable assets of other major integrated oil firms such as Exxon and Chevron, Total, Stat Oil, etc. Stock will go up when dividend resumes and it becomes clear to investors that the cost of the oil spill was overestimated. BP has enormous cash flow which can easily handle the claims from the spill. Once the dividend is restored to its former rate a purchase of BP stock in the low 40's will give an investor roughly a 6 or 7 percent yield. Look for this stock to trade up to 58 in 2012

International corporation with big earnings, but a price that still reflects bad press. Will go up.

My math says a decent estimate for the costs of the big mess was about $12/share. If/when BP gets back to its dividend (maybe quietly a few weeks past the fuss at the 1 year anniversary), this stock pops back to $48-50 ($60 before oil spill less the $12 costs).

Neo

Stock is undervalued still and with the concern over bp spill pass.; Company has strong prospects, some of the losses of the spill will be offset by tax savings due to the losses. Dividends will be restored middle next year and I think there's a 50% upside with little downside risk.

Natural gas investment, marketing redirection post gulf disaster should enable this stock to outperform

Will recover from spill

BP is a global company that has already shown significant recovery since closing the oil well. Despite the impact locally, worldwide they are still turning huge profits. They also have taken a substantial moral step in providing the necessary cleanup, thus minimizing the imact to the environment.

OIL/GAS Limited Supply. Unlimited demand. Can do nothing but go up. Bought IRL @$33

Who else is kicking themselves for not snatching up a pile of BP stock when it tanked down in the $26 range? I am. This is a company that quite seriously does print their own money. Though the gulf spill was horrible, BP handled it well (not perfectly, but well). They stood there and took their beatings, unlike Exxon years ago. Liquidating less-profitable assets around the globe, implementing a massive war chest for gulf relief, and looking to the future - BP will return to what it was; divideds will be handed out again. Just a question of when.

Beaten down by the recent GoM Horizon spill, BP is an energy bellweather unlikely to see its long term performance affected. Does Exxon suffer from Exxon Valdez 25 years later? Nope. If anything, this event should give BP management a chip on their shoulder to prove the doubters wrong.
