据道琼斯2月2日消息，英国石油公司(BP)周二表示，随着油价持续回升，该公司在2020年第四季度扭亏为盈。
在截至去年12月31日的三个月里，这家英国石油巨头实现净利润13.6亿美元，而第三季度净亏损4.5亿美元。
去年第四季度该公司的基本重置成本利润从上个季度的8,600万美元增至1.15亿美元，但低于该公司根据26家经纪商的估计编制的3.7亿美元的平均预期。基本重置成本利润这个指标与美国石油公司使用的净利润数据类似，但剔除了一次性项目。
BP宣布派发季度股息每股5.25美分，全年股息从2019年的41.00美分降至31.50美分。

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.
