BP profits tumble after 'planet-wrecking' shift back to oil and gas
Profits for the oil giant, which earlier this year abandoned its ambitions to be a world leader in green energy, fell 49% year on year to $1.38 billion, short of analyst's forecasts. Its net debt has risen by $4bn to $27bn since the end of last year because of weaknesses in its gas marketing and trading business, the company said. Activist investors Elliott Management, which took a 5% stake in the company this February, have been putting pressure on the company to boost profits by expanding oil and gas production and more than halving its investment in renewable energy. Patrick Galey, of green pressure group Global Witness, said: 'BP has spent the last year flip-flopping on its climate commitments, lurching back towards fossil fuels just as the world needs a clean energy transition. (Image: Ithaca Energy) 'The fact that its returns are now dwindling and investors seem to be losing confidence shows BP's climate U-turn is not only planet-wrecking but financially wrong-headed too.' He added that it was time for investors to 'change direction', saying: 'Continuing to back fossil fuel giants as the world moves towards safer, cleaner, home-grown energy is a decision that could leave them empty-handed in the years ahead, with falling demand and billions' worth of stranded assets.' Robert Palmer, deputy director of campaign group Uplift, said: 'Despite endless claims to be driving the green transition, oil and gas majors have shown their true colours time and time again. BP joins many of its peers in rolling back on renewables of late, many of whom have sought to capitalise on Trump's denial of climate change. READ MORE: More than 1100 jobs saved as major Scottish manufacturing plant acquired 'We know that just seven of the 87 offshore oil and gas companies operating in the North Sea plan to invest anything in renewables by 2030.' He said that the fossil fuel industry 'cannot be trusted to facilitate a fair and rapid energy transition', adding: 'The UK Government should recognise these rollbacks for what they truly are - concrete evidence that fossil fuel majors have no interest in shifting to more affordable clean energy and take responsibility for this task out of their hands.' But BP appeared to be sticking with its focus on fossil fuels at the expense of renewables as the profit hit was announced. Chief executive Murray Auchinloss said: "In February, we announced a fundamental reset of our strategy – to grow the upstream, focus the downstream and invest with discipline in the transition – and we have already made significant progress. 'So far this year we have started up three major projects, made six exploration discoveries and have progressed our divestment programme – all while delivering strong operational performance, with over 95% upstream plant reliability supporting the best operating efficiency on record, and over 96% refining availability. 'We continue to monitor market volatility and changes and remain focused on moving at pace.'

LPT Realty - The Fastest Growing Real Estate Brokerage Firm in the U.S. - Is Now in All 50 States and Canada
LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Robert Palmer, founder and CEO of LPT Realty and RP Funding, announced that his cloud-based real estate brokerage firm is now in all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and three provinces of Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan) – all in just three years. This rapid, record growth makes LPT Realty the fastest-growing, largest, single-entity brokerage by agent count in history with over 15,000 agents. It is also the first privately-held brokerage to achieve full U.S. market coverage, setting a new industry benchmark and laying the groundwork for unstoppable global growth. RealTrends Verified, which analyzes brokerage, team, and agent performance data and highlights the top 1.5% of real estate pros, released its 2024 rankings and has just placed LPT Realty at #10 by transaction, up from #28 last year. According to Caroline Scanlon, Director, RealTrends Verified, 'This level of growth is rare. . .more than doubling both transaction sides and volume year over year. This represents one of the largest year-over-year gains we've seen — a clear signal of serious momentum and market share gains.' The Real Estate Almanac, published annually by T3 Sixty, trusted advisor to the residential real estate brokerage industry, has just named LPT Realty #10 nationally in transactions (36,369) with year-over-year Transaction Sides Change of 175.2%, and sales volume of $13,860 million. LPT Realty was also named the Inman 2024 Most Innovative Brokerage as it continues to innovate the real estate brokerage industry. Robert Palmer explains, 'Most brokerage models serve one agent avatar, but what if one brokerage could serve all of them? That's what we built. We call it a 'brokerage for life.' Wherever an agent is in their life cycle, we have a model for them. Agents need freedom, flexibility and support. They need to define success on their own terms. That's why we've built a brokerage model with no walls — physically or philosophically.' Palmer's leadership and industry foresight helped him move up 103 spots to No. 68 on the Swanepoel Power 200, an annual ranking of the most influential leaders in residential real estate published by T3 Sixty for 2025. Additionally, Inman Power Players just named Palmer as one of the most innovative and influential executives in the real estate industry. LPT Realty's agent-centric model offers flexible compensation, including the option to choose one's own commission plan and revenue-sharing opportunities. They provide 'unfair advantages' to agents with first-of-its-kind technology, proprietary marketing tools, and one of the industry's most comprehensive training programs. Palmer says: 'We're here to build the best brokerage platform agents have ever seen. I'm so proud of what our brokers have accomplished, and we are just getting started!' Over the past year, LPT Realty has been scaling for growth and positioning for a future IPO. As the founder of LPT Realty, Palmer has built a portfolio of industry-leading companies focused on innovation, agent success and consumer empowerment. 'From the outset, LPT Realty's mission has been to redefine what a real estate brokerage can achieve. Growing to 15,000 agents within the first three years demonstrates the strength of this vision. Now, with operations in all 50 states and Canada, we are thrilled to extend the opportunities that have energized our agents to an even broader audience,' stated Palmer.
