ChiefB: 'So Shell is considering a bid but the boss man has just said he’d rather buy back his own shares. Who writes this nonsense.'

No offence intended but this response reminds me of why you see zillions of 'Trump withdrew, U-turned, backed-down' etc headlines when we're witnessing steps on a journey (hard-ball negotiation with him, or possibly considering a corp take-over here with Shell).

I mean of course Shell can't announce they're weighing up a take-over of a competitor and so 'big them up' + the share price. Better they infer Shell's own stock is cheap, hence buy-backs are their focus.

I wouldn't be surprised if Shell and many corporates periodically and routinely scan the market for the potential from a merger. If this story is true, that is all this might simply be. And if BP are currently down on their luck, I think it would be remiss of Shell to not give a merger a once-over.

Shell Reportedly Studying BP Bid
By Irina Slav - May 05, 2025, 2:30 AM CDT

Shell is reportedly considering a takeover bid for fellow supermajor BP, which has seen its fortunes dim recently after its rather premature bet on a fast energy transition. The report comes from Bloomberg, which quoted unnamed sources familiar with the developments.

The Financial Times, meanwhile, quoted Shell’s chief executive, Wael Sawan, as saying he would rather buy back Shell’s own stock than take over BP. “We will always look at these things, but you are also looking to see what the alternative is,” Sawan told the FT. “Right now, buying back Shell [shares] for us continues to be absolutely the right alternative to go for.”

“As we have said many times before, we are sharply focused on capturing the value in Shell through continuing to focus on performance, discipline and simplification,̶1; a Shell spokesperson told Bloomberg in an emailed response to the report.

The Bloomberg sources, however, said the supermajor was studying a takeover that would depend on whether the BP stock will continue to decline, after shedding close to 30% over the past 12 months. At the same time, the sources added that nothing was certain and Shell might eventually decide to focus on share repurchases and bolt-on acquisitions, the Bloomberg report said.

BP reported a net profit of $1.38 billion for the first quarter, missing analyst expectations and booking a 49% annual decline in its net result. It also said it would spend $750 million on share buybacks.

Shell, meanwhile, reported stronger than forecast net figures for the first quarter, at $5.58 billion, which was down 28% on the year. The supermajor also said it would spend $3.5 billion on stock repurchases over the second quarter of the year.

Shell currently has a market value that is twice as high as BP’s, at close to $200 billion versus BP’s $74 billion.

'Shell considers bid for BP amid rival’s net zero crisis
FTSE 100 giant explores possible takeover after rival reverses pivot to green energy. --
Shell is considering a takeover of BP after the oil giant’s botched pivot to net zero left it vulnerable.

Shell is considering a takeover of BP after the oil giant’s botched pivot to net zero left it vulnerable.

FTSE 100 giant Shell is seriously exploring how feasible and beneficial a takeover of BP would be, according to Bloomberg. It is engaging with advisers to plan out what a deal would look like.

It comes amid turmoil at BP over its approach to green energy. The company vowed to slash its oil and gas production and invest heavily in renewables in 2020, making the boldest commitment to net zero in the fossil fuel industry.

However, the strategy failed to deliver financial returns and BP has recently abandoned the plans in favour of a return to focusing on oil and gas. It follows intense pressure on management from US hedge fund Elliott Management, which has become one of BP’s biggest shareholders after building a 5pc stake.

The muddle at BP has left its stock price languishing. Shares have slumped 30pc over the last 12 months and are just 11pc above where they were when BP launched its green energy strategy. By contrast, Shell’s stock has rallied almost 90pc over the last five years as it has focused on oil and gas. The divergence has left BP worth just £55bn, compared to Shell’s £148bn.
A combination of Shell and BP has long been speculated but a deal would be likely to face intense political scrutiny and attract the attention of competition regulators. Any deal would also trigger a bonanza of fees for advisers and bankers.
Shell is understood to be biding its time and awaiting further drops in BP’s shares and oil prices before deciding whether to bid.
A Shell spokesman said: “As we have said many times before we are sharply focused on capturing the value in Shell through continuing to focus on performance, discipline and simplification.”

Shell CEO Prefers Share Buybacks to Takeover Bid for BP

Published on 02/05/2025 at 17:01

(MT Newswires) -- Shell (SHEL) CEO Wael Sawan prefers to repurchase more of the company's shares rather than initiate a takeover bid for BP (BP), the Financial Times reported Friday, citing the executive.

Sawan also told the news outlet that the company was well-prepared for lower oil prices in the coming months.

Sawan said that Shell's balance sheet was in the best shape in the past ten years, with leverage at below 19%, or 7% excluding the company's equipment leases, according to the report.

Shell did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.

7:44AMShell profits hit by falling oil pricesShell has revealed a dip in profits for the latest quarter, as it pushed ahead with investment plans and shareholder returns despite a recent drop in oil prices partially triggered by Donald Trump's trade war.The oil giant told shareholders that adjusted earnings dropped by 27.9pc to $5.6bn (£4.2bn) for the first quarter of 2025.It came as President Trump's tariff tirade raised concerns about a slowdown in the world economy, which has sent the price of oil below $60 a barrel amid concerns over demand.Shell said it was also impacted by a $509m (£382m) charge related to UK windfall taxes but still announced another $3.5bn share buyback over the next three months.Chief executive Wael Sawan said: "Shell delivered another solid set of results in the first quarter of 2025."...Daily Telegraph

The above article is about Fresnillo but ends with an update on Shell.

Update: Shell

Given the $11-a-share received in dividends coupled with our 40pc-plus capital gain in Shell over the past eight-and-a-half years we cannot help but be pleased by the oil and gas major’s new cost reduction, cash flow and capital return plans.

Wael Sawan, its chief executive, emphasised a commitment to liquid natural gas and plans to maintain oil output out to 2030. Meanwhile, the capital expenditure budget is to be capped at between $20bn and $22bn a year, with 10pc allocated to low-carbon projects, and costs are to be cut. The role within the group of some parts of the chemicals business will go under review.


The plan behind all of this is to grow cash flow per share by 10pc a year until 2030 and increase the percentage of operational cash flow that is returned to shareholders to 40pc to 50pc from 30pc to 40pc. Commodity prices can have a big say in the outcome here but the combined value of dividends and share buybacks in 2024 was $22.6bn, equivalent to around 10pc of the company’s current stock market capitalisation.

Any goal to try and increase that is noteworthy and likely to catch the eye of income-seekers, or at least those ones whose environmental, social and governance screens do not exclude hydrocarbon producers.

Questor says: hold. Things are about to get even better.

Shell shock warning on plot to move listing to New York could fuel oil and gas exodus

By DAILY MAIL CITY & FINANCE REPORTER

Updated: 22:00 GMT, 1 January 2025


Shell will face questions over its future on London’s stock market in 2025 in what is set to be a crucial year for the energy giant, writes Jessica Clark.

Chief executive Wael Sawan has warned he will consider moving its listing to New York if attempts to boost its valuation in the UK do not pay off.

He set a deadline to increase value and cut costs by the end of 2025 before taking more drastic measures, which could include ditching London for the US.

Such a move would be a major blow for the City as Shell is one of the biggest companies in the FTSE 100 with a valuation of almost £152billion.

It is feared that Shell’s exit would prompt rival exploration giants such as miners Rio Tinto and Glencore and oil and gas group BP to follow suit.

‘I have a location that is clearly undervalued,’ Sawan told Bloomberg in April.

He said the oil giant was on a ‘sprint’ to close the valuation gap with US rivals ExxonMobil and Chevron by the end of next year.

If no improvement was made, Sawan said the firm would look at ‘all options’ including the possibility of moving its share listing to New York.

‘If we work through the sprint and we still don’t see that the gap is closing, we have to look at all options,’ he said.

Shell declined to comment on its plans for 2025.

Shell to sell Sinco pipeline system and Colex terminal to Edgewater Midstream

29 August 2024 - 9:39PM

PR Newswire (US)



HOUSTON, Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell Pipeline Company LP and Triton West LLC, respective subsidiaries of Shell USA, Inc. (Shell), have agreed to sell their 100% interest in the Sinco pipeline system and Colex terminal to a subsidiary of Edgewater Midstream LLC (Edgewater), pending regulatory approval.

This sale follows Shell's Capital Markets Day to simplify our portfolio as we deliver more value, with less emissions

"This sale follows our guidance at Shell's Capital Markets Day to continue to simplify our portfolio as we seek to deliver more value, with less emissions," said Andrew Smith, Shell Executive Vice President Trading & Supply. "After the completion of the sale of Shell's equity in Deer Park Refinery, these assets are non-integrated and no longer fit within Shell's Powering Progress strategy. This transaction enables re-deployment of capital to other projects that will do so."

The sale of both assets is expected to be completed in Q4 2024.

Notes to editors

The Sinco pipeline system and the Colex terminal are located in the Houston Ship Channel area and have historically been operated as integrated assets with the Deer Park Refinery.

In 2022, Shell completed the sale of its equity share in the Deer Park Refinery to Pemex, rendering the Sinco pipeline and the Colex terminal non-strategic and non-integrated.

Both Shell Pipeline Company LP and Triton West LLC are subsidiaries of Shell and own 100% of Sinco pipeline system and Colex terminal, respectively.

Edgewater focuses on the acquisition, development and operation of pipelines and terminals in proximity to major North American petroleum trading hubs and demand centers, primarily in coastal markets.

Shell Pipeline Company LP transports over 1.5 billion barrels of oil annually through its vast network of pipelines and tank farms, ensuring reliable delivery of essential products like crude oil, gasoline, and chemicals.

The U.S. is a key market for Shell, where it has interests in 50 states and employs more than 13,000 people who work to provide a secure supply of energy today, while tackling the energy challenges of the future.

Shell's U.S. portfolio of operated companies and interests consists of oil, natural gas, petrochemicals, lubricants, and refined fuel products along with renewables such as wind, solar, and mobility segments like electric vehicle charging.

Typical of oil companies to buy back their shares when their share price is near all time highs.

The problem is when the oil price is high, oil companies are making huge profits and their share price in turn is high. At these times I would like to see Shell hold on to their profits until the oil price falls back leading to a drop in their share price then use the profits they've held back to buy back share.

How about Shell buying back their shares during covid, buying back as many as they could when the share price was under £10, could have bought back 3 shares for the same price as they are now buying back just 1.

It would be in the share holders interests for Shell to stop buying back shares when over a certain price, for example when the share price is above £20 Shell stops and when falls below restarts it share buy back programme.

More often then not, share buy backs destroy value in a company.

It would not have much immediate impact on the FTSE due to the way that is calculated, but it would probably result in a significant increase in BP and SHEL share prices due to the way they would be valued as a company listed in the States. A declared focus on focil fues would further support the share price and renewed investment in fosil fuel projects.
