The oil spill will hammer BP. It will continue to be the bad boy and out of favor for the next year or so. Nothing positive until the leak is under control.

I am finally going to plunge and buy BP becasue:

1. It appears it is highly probable that the company will reach a settlement with the U.S. Government on civil and criminal charges in the near future related to the gulf oil spill.

2. BP made good progress with resuscitating its brand image in 2011.

3. A federal judge in late December ended BP's three-year probation for the negligent discharge of oil in Alaska in 2007. This allows BP to resume drilling in that territory and should provide a psychological lift to the stock as well.

The stock provides a robust 3.8% dividend. Given its improving cash flow, the company should begin raising its dividend again once it completes putting the gulf oil spill fallout behind it. The median analysts' price target on BP is $54 a share and S&P has a price target of $58 on the stock. BP still sells in the bottom third of its five year valuation range based on P/E, P/B, and P/S. Jefferies just upgraded BP from Hold to Buy due to good news in BP's legal battles and the stock is cheap at less than 7 times forward earnings.
