Global energy giant BP posted a $1.4bn profit in the first quarter of 2025, about half its first-quarter profit a year ago, as a mix of corporate and market challenges impacted performance.

CEO Murray Auchincloss pointed to market volatility and economic uncertainty for the weaker results. BP is also in the midst of a ‘resetting strategy’ and is reallocating capital.
