BP's dividend boosted even as profit slumped 70% to $2.6 billion. Rivals Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell and TotalEnergies also reported sharp drops in quarterly earnings, hurt by a drop in energy prices from highs hit following Russia's invasion of Ukraine

BP's gearing, or debt-to-capital ratio, stood at 21.7% in the second quarter, compared with 19.6% in the first quarter and 21.9% a year earlier. For the third quarter, BP expects oil prices to be supported by OPEC supply cuts alongside above-historical-average refining margins helped by lower inventories and U.S. demand.
