???? 據(jù)道瓊斯2月2日消息,英國石油公司(BP)周二表示,隨著油價(jià)持續(xù)回升,該公司在2020年第四季度扭虧為盈。
????在截至去年12月31日的三個(gè)月里,這家英國石油巨頭實(shí)現(xiàn)凈利潤13.6億美元,而第三季度凈虧損4.5億美元。
????去年第四季度該公司的基本重置成本利潤從上個(gè)季度的8,600萬美元增至1.15億美元,但低于該公司根據(jù)26家經(jīng)紀(jì)商的估計(jì)編制的3.7億美元的平均預(yù)期。基本重置成本利潤這個(gè)指標(biāo)與美國石油公司使用的凈利潤數(shù)據(jù)類似,但剔除了一次性項(xiàng)目。

????BP Swings to 4Q Profit
????BP PLC said Tuesday that it swung to a profit in the fourth quarter of 2020 as oil prices continued to recover.
????The British oil major made a net profit of $1.36 billion in the three months to Dec. 31, compared with a net loss of $450 million in the third quarter.
????Its underlying replacement cost profit increased to $115 million from $86 million quarter-on-quarter, but was below the company-compiled market consensus of $370 million, based on 26 brokers' estimates. The metric is similar to the net profit figure that U.S. oil companies use but strips out one-off items.
????BP declared a quarterly dividend of 5.25 cents a share, bringing the full-year payment to 31.50 cents, down from 41.00 cents in 2019.
????The company said that oil prices have risen since the end of October and demand is expected to recover in 2021.
