[ad_1] The BP (LSE: BP.) share price gained 7.2% at one point Wednesday (25 June) on rumours that Shell (LSE: SHEL) had made an approach that could create a £200bn UK oil giant. The excitement faded after a Shell denial the next day. And at the time of writing, both are down around 3.8% on the week. Talk is getting louder again that BP could be a juicy takeover target.

In other words, it’s up 859% and has left the rest of the FTSE 100 in the dust. Some of this is obviously the result of Covid-19 challenges subsiding, but the stock is now over 100% above where it was before 2019. So have investors missed their opportunity?
