Cash Net from operating activities for the quarter was $ 6800000000, including $ 2100000000 outflows related to the MBO of oil spill compared to $ 6.8 billion in the quarter a year earlier.

Our recommendation

GOM oil spill tragedy has finally broken the fundamental principles the Palestinian Authority, but its ongoing effort to fight against the consequences of gaining momentum. Company has already taken prudent measures to protect the interests of residents in the affected region. The company is also considering the sale of certain assets to raise funds to pay expenses associated with the deepwater incident Horizon.

We maintain our neutral recommendation for long-term BP the back of his career leading the industry in terms of reserve replacement ratio and strong fundamentals.

As the effects continue for long Macondo, BP will incur huge expenses in the coming years would be more difficult for the reference group. In the short term, this issue will heavily on the evaluation The company is based. Our short-term rating of the PA is a Zacks # 5 Rank (Strong copy).
