Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Alex Planes]

  Investors love stocks that consistently beat the Street without getting ahead of their fundamentals and risking a meltdown. The best sto! cks offer sustainable market-beating gains, with robust and improving financial metrics that support strong price growth. Does British Petroleum (NYSE: BP  ) fit the bill? Let's take a look at what its recent results tell us about its potential for future gains.

• [By David Smith]

  Criminal charges initially leveled against employees of Chevron and driller Transocean (NYSE: RIG  ) have been dropped, but the country is still seeking $20 billion in damages from the pair. For the sake of perspective, that's identical to the amount of the initial trust established by BP (NYSE: BP  ) in response to the 2010 Macondo blowout, which gushed 4.9 million barrels of Louisiana sweet crude into the Gulf of Mexico.

• [By WALLSTCHEATSHEET]

  BP is an oil and gas company that supplies energy products and services worldwide. The companyis reportedly in discussions to turn over control of a major oil and natural gas project in Libya, and is apparently negotiating a deal with Libyas state-owned National Oil Co. The stock has not made significant progress in recent years, however, its currently trading near highs for the year. Over the last four quarters, earnings have been rising while revenues have been mixed, which has left investors mostly pleased about recent earnings announcements. Relative to its weak peers and sector, BP has been a relative year-to-date performer. Look for BP to OUTPERFORM.
