BP Reports Strong Earnings; To Sell US Biogas Business for $4bn
August 5, 2026
– Amruth S
Energy major BP reported strong earnings with a 144% rise in Q2 adjusted profits to $5.7bn, beating expectations of $5.1bn and marking its highest quarterly profit since 2022. This came on the back of higher oil, gas and refined fuel prices during the US-Iran conflict. Alongside its financial results, BP announced a major strategic portfolio adjustment with the sale of its US biogas business for $4bn. The divestment marks a pivot as the energy giant streamlines its low-carbon assets to focus capital on higher-margin, core operational areas. Proceeds from the transaction will be deployed toward optimizing BP’s balance sheet, funding strategic growth initiatives, and supporting ongoing share buyback commitments. The major asset sale underscores a broader industry trend where integrated energy firms are re-evaluating their renewable portfolios to prioritize profitability and capital efficiency. By offloading its non-core U.S. biogas assets, BP expects to sharpen its strategic focus while strengthening its overall financial position. BP said that it would bring net debt below $18bn by end-December 2026.
BP’s dollar bonds trade stable with its 5.227% 2034s at 100.7, yielding 5.1%.
