DBRS turns BP trend to stable

DBRS said it changed the trend on BP plc to stable from negative and confirmed its A issuer rating.

The trend change reflects the expectation BP’s key credit metrics will improve substantially through 2022 to support the ratings. “The expected improvement is driven by a recovery in crude oil prices and BP's focus on reducing financial leverage,” the agency said in a press release.
