Oil giant BP beats third-quarter profit expectations despite weaker crude prices
BP's third-quarter profit reached $2.21 billion, exceeding analyst forecasts as its divestment and cost-cutting strategies advance its strategic reset.

- Targeting $20 billion in divestments by the end of 2027, BP highlighted progress on cost-cutting and asset sales, including Monday's $1.5 billion sale of minority stakes in U.S. pipeline assets to Sixth Street.
- Investors have broadly welcomed the shift, with share prices up more than 13% year-to-date and sentiment boosted by leadership shake-up, cost-cutting progress and recent oil discoveries.
