The battle between Labour's pro-growth wing and the net zero zealots rumbles on. Last week, it was Heathrow expansion-when Rachel Reeves, desperate to prove her economic credentials, threw her weight behind a third runway. Ed Miliband and his eco-warrior allies weren't happy then...Now a fresh row deepens the divide in the party, as Reeves and Starmer are gearing up to give the green light to the UK's two biggest offshore oil and gas projects-Rosebank and Jackdaw. The boss of energy giant Equinor has already warned Miliband that blocking these developments would wreck the UK's reputation with investors. That's not just hot air...Miliband has in the past slammed the Rosebank licence as "climate vandalism". Meanwhile, the Labour Growth Group-a group of mostly New Labour MPs pushing hard on housing and infrastructure-are said to be against the oil developments. Some backbenchers are fuming, saying "This is a line in the sand for almost everyone in the PLP," and "a breaking point for a lot of us" as more grumbles about U-turning on manifesto pledges sow deeper divides. If Reeves and Starmer override Ed again in pursuit of the almighty G-word, it could be his breaking point......order order

I well understand investors who want income to take out and use somewhere else will be disappointed with the pace of dividend increases.
But for investors looking to compound Shell remains an intriguing and probably compelling mathematical model if you believe O&G will remain relevant and roughly as profitable for the next 10years or more.
Roughly Shell has bought back 2billion shares over the past 5years ,lowering shares in issue to currently just over 6 billion.
If Shell can continue with the buyback at current levels for a few more years investors who reinvest they're dividen ds will find themselves owning a much higher % of shares in issue in 5years times ,which at some point will drive a significantly higher shareprice if the business remains as profitable as it is now.

Good post, also another 3.5bn buyback starts today, debt levels 5bn lower than a year ago & with interest rates falling in Europe today & England next week should provide a decent attraction for investors

The Standing Charge is a TAX, and there is a lot more................But – and this is a big but – renewables' infrastructure values are based not on free-market energy prices but on artificially high energy output prices – unwittingly subsidised and guaranteed by consumers and enforced by government regulation.....Efficient allocation of capital requires prices to send signals. When prices are artificially distorted, these signals become distorted and incentivise inefficient allocation of capital. This may sound a little esoteric but in reality it is disastrous for prosperity and growth.Renewables would not be built at all unless they were given preference at every level in the electricity grid – both in prices and priority access – hence their presence enormously worsening Western grid efficiency. For those who do not believe that renewables are expensive, consider the following.Britain and Germany have the most expensive electricity in Europe, and probably the world, at around 27p per kilowatt hour (kWh). These two nations have by far the most developed renewables infrastructure in Europe. Relative to their grids' sizes, they have the largest wind fleets in the world. The pressure on electricity prices in these two countries is upwards....https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/01/16/fossil-fuel-investors-not-anti-capitalist-want-jobs-prosper/

Didn't really impact the share price which means probably the retail investors selling looking at the volume..will be back up again soon (hopefully tomorrow)

#Pete160, yes it does, IF the primary listing is in the US investors would pay a 15%/30% WHT (withholding tax at source) on US derived dividend income inside an ISA, but not inside a SIPP..

Even with a W8-BEN in place you pay 15% tax with most ISA providers here in the UK..

The gap between BP (BP.) and Shell (SHEL) looked wider than ever after the latter released positive third-quarter results, and reassured investors its buybacks remained affordable. Earlier this week, BP flagged a potential cut to its $14bn (£10.8bn) buyback plan early next year as analysts focused on its rising debt levels. Shell reported adjusted earnings of $6bn for the three months to 30 September, down 4 per cent on the previous quarter and 3 per cent compared with last year. This was 12 per cent ahead of the consensus forecast. The drop compared with the second quarter was down to smaller refining margins, which fell from $7.70 a barrel in the previous quarter to $5.50. While Shell management had guided for a weaker trading profit, the marketing division actually increased its adjusted earnings by 9 per cent, to $1.2bn. This is almost double the figure from a year ago. Energy prices have dropped significantly since the industry's super profits of 2022, and adjusted earnings are down around a third since then. Shell's strategy has shifted to spending heavily on buybacks and putting cash back into the business, and "every decision is benchmarked against our shares", said chief executive Wael Sawan. "Given where [the shares] have been trading, we continue to preferentially allocate incremental capital towards share buybacks," he added. Buybacks for the next three months will again total $3.5bn. The dividend is maintained at 34.4¢. The company has announced new spending in recent months, and announced final investment decisions on the Manatee gas project in Trinidad and Tobago and the Vita project in the Gulf of Mexico. Capital spending will be at the low end of the $22bn-$25bn guidance, Sawan said. Net debt at $35bn is down $3bn from the end of June. "The fall in net debt (even after adjusting for working capital) confirms the sustainability of Shell's capital allocation while the cut in FY24 capex guidance confirms the company's capital efficiency," said Jefferies analyst Giacomo Romeo. Shell's short-term strategy is still clear – send free cash to investors, limit new spending and costs where possible. What comes next is less clear, given Sawan's preference to maintain or even increase oil and gas production. Hold.

Shell back in listings spotlight amid fears of New York switch


Shell will this week face questions from investors over its future on London's stock market amid fears it could switch its listing to New York.

Chief executive Wael Sawan sparked speculation earlier this year when he said the FTSE 100 giant was looking at 'all options' as London was an 'undervalued location'.

While no decision is imminent, he will face questions when Shell reports its figures on Thursday.

Shell and BP are valued lower than US competitors ExxonMobil and Chevron, which have doubled down on oil and gas production.

Sawan is hoping his strategy, including share buybacks to reward investors, will bridge the valuation gap.

A Shell spokesman said: 'A change of listing is something we will always keep under review, but this is not a live discussion.'

"Shell

It seems that the main reason to buy Shell (GB:SHEL) remains its cheap valuation, especially compared with its US peers.

Invesco Comstock managers Kevin Holt, James Warwick and Devin Armstong are the latest top-performing investors to have seized upon the shares’ low rating, buying into the oil giant in August.

‘Shell has underperformed recently, which allowed us to initiate a position in this top-tier oil and gas firm,’ they said in their latest update to investors.

They are three of 55 Elite Investors backing in the shares, resulting in Shell’s status as the top London-listed stock in the Citywire Elite Companies rankings.

Jon Bosse and Jujhar Sohi, who own Shell in their Nuveen Large Cap Value and Multi Cap Value funds, said the shares were ‘exceptionally undervalued’, adding that chief executive Wael Sawan was ‘driving positive change and a commitment to shareholder returns’ in an update to their investors.

These shareholder returns are in the form of growing dividend and share buybacks, with Shell’s investment strictly controlled to generate plenty of cash flow.

Oil and gas and production and trading profits are under pressure from an oil price which has been drifting lower since the summer. However, over the medium term, Shell should benefit from being one of the leading integrated liquified natural gas (LNG) players as gas remains a key transition fuel for countries aiming to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions.

With Shell shares trading on just 7.5 times forecast earnings for the next 12 months, it’s not hard to to see why management is growing buybacks.
