This is the peak quarter to price in: refining lifted BP's indicator margin to an average $46.70 a barrel versus $15.80 a year ago, beating expectations. Management already flagged a significantly lower customers result in the fourth quarter.
BP reports before the open with consensus at $2.62 EPS on $64.54 billion in revenue, and the bar is higher after two straight beats, including a 12% surprise last quarter. Firmer crude is the swing factor on whether the streak reaches three.
