BP plc’s approach to insurance, which involves purchasing coverage primarily when legally required, could leave the company vulnerable to significant uninsured losses. This strategy may expose BP to financial strain, especially if substantial operational events occur that demand high costs, thereby impacting their liquidity and cash flows. The reliance on third-party insurance and internal reinsurance might not suffice in mitigating these risks, potentially leading to material adverse effects on their financial standing. Consequently, BP’s financial resilience could be tested under circumstances of concurrent operational and uninsured financial pressures.
The average BP stock price target is $30.56, implying 5.05% upside potential.
