石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯2月8日消息，英国石油公司(BP)公布了疲软业绩，并宣布今年实现盈亏平衡所需的油价水平为60美元/桶，这对于关注该公司第四季度业绩的投资者来说是一个令人不高兴的意外消息，但巴克莱表示，这个决定是BP做出的短期牺牲。该公司在进行了一系列收购之后计划在今年进一步增加支出，导致覆盖支出及股息所需的油价水平上升。另一方面，巴克莱称，基于其对该公司截至2020年的前景分析，相对于以前的业务组合，同样的收购交易将有助于提高BP的自由现金流产生潜力以及韧性。巴克莱还表示：“我们仍认为BP正进入一个新的增长阶段。”

DJ BP Entering “New Phase of Growth”, Says Barclays
BP PLC’s weak earnings and announcement that it needed $60 a barrel to breakeven this year were an unpleasant surprise for investors looking at its fourth quarter results, but Barclays says that decision is a “short-term sacrifice.” The company made plans to spend more this year after a series of acquisitions, driving up the oil price it needs to cover costs and dividend payouts from cash. On the other hand, “the same acquisitions serve to increase both BP’s free cash flow generation potential and resilience on our analysis by 2020 relative to the previous portfolio,” says Barclays. “We remain convinced that BP is entering a new phase of growth,” it adds.
