VERBATIM: The London-based company says underlying replacement cost profit jumped to $27.7 billion in 2022 from $12.8 billion a year earlier. BP’s earnings growth comes amid growing calls for the British government to boost taxes on companies profiting from the high price of oil and natural gas after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. BP also increased its quarterly dividend by 10% and announced plans to buy back $2.75 billion of stock from shareholders.
