Shell Share Discussion Threads

[maywillow] 05/3/2003 08:26

WASHINGTON (AFX) - General Motors Corp and Royal Dutch/Shell unit Shell
Hydrogen said they have teamed up in the US to promote and help begin the
commercialisation of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
The centerpiece and foundation of the partnership will be a real-life
demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and fueling infrastructure
technology in the Washington DC area between GM and Shell Hydrogen (US), the
statement said. The demonstration will feature the nation's first hydrogen pump
at a Shell retail gas station to support a GM fleet of fuel cell vehicles.
The companies said the partnership plans to focus on on three key areas:
increased awareness and understanding on the part of policymakers, regulators
and the general public in the US via demonstrations of the combined hydrogen
technologies; combining the expertise from both the vehicle and fueling
infrastructure sides; and "experience and learning" from the trial under
real-life, real-time conditions.
"GM and Shell will provide an entire system -- from the generation and
distribution of hydrogen to a retail station, and the storage of hydrogen on a
vehicle to the actual vehicle itself".
Under the terms of the MOU between GM and Shell Hydrogen, Shell's hydrogen
station is expected to be operational by October 2003, with GM's commitment to
use the station for support of its vehicle fleet, which will arrive in
Washington DC in May of this year.
Shell Hydrogen CEO Donald Huberts described hydrogen as a "clean and
abundant energy carrier" which can be extracted from water or from natural gas.
When used in a fuel cell vehicle, the only exhaust is water.
The New York Times cited GM vice president for research and development and
planning Larry Burns as saying that the six experimental minivans that are
scheduled to arrive in Washington in May have cost more than 1 mln usd apiece,
but the company still believes it can produce a "compelling and affordable car"
by 2010.
The paper said some experts wonder if the cars will ever be affordable,
however, with some environmentalists -- while supporting the development of
environmentally friendly vehicles -- sceptical whether the government initiative
will ever get off the ground.

Rebel_Rouser

it's not just the price of oil, but the quantity as well

[lalita] 26/2/2003 09:32

when is the divi due?

[rebel_rouser] 25/2/2003 08:48

How come share pice is falling in the midst of an oil price surge?
(I'm a novice, I would have expected a rise as most oil price rise = pure profits)

Lehman Brothers cut Shell Transport price target to 420 from 450
Goldman Sachs cut Shell target price to 410p from 500p

[chris001] 19/2/2003 00:58

bought at 351

[bigspenner] 18/2/2003 11:30

Great buy if you are not in a panic rush, the longer the iraq issue is undecided the better for shells stock but in any event the stock is cheap at anything under 4.00

[oakville] 14/2/2003 09:10

Good morning folks, just bought into shell for the first time paid £3.49.This looks a good buy to me, but i usually get it wrong. Any thoughts from you long termers?

[bigspenner] 14/2/2003 00:41

oil is still going up for a barrel of crude and this may well continue. since shell makes most of its money from barrels of crude this means that the earning potential is still good.

This means that it is cheap. £4.00 is a safe prediction.

the only thing that will cause a problem with this shares growth is the opening up of oil from iraq but my bet is shell has a strategy for dealing witgh that and will make money in a different way. long term this means that it will increase the number of barrels which will compensate for a falling crude price. Remember though there is no guarentee of iraqs oil being available and that means more increases in the oil price short term. the share price should follow it.

What I am confused about RE: BP Price target cut to 390p BUT SHELL PRICE TARGET WAS CUT FROM 520 (?) TO 410p last week YET SHELL KEEPS FALLING ????? WHY???? MM Playing games or investors nervous? SHELL WILL SOON BE 4* I think.


12 Februray 2003
Investment bank Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein on Wednesday reduced its rating on oil company BP Plc (LSE: BP.L - news - msgs) to "reduce" from "hold" on signs the company's growth in earnings and dividends was set to slow.

DrKW also cut its price target on the stock to 390 pence from 445p.

12th February 2003


Financial Times



The Lex Column:

*Blinded by the light - BP (LSE: BP.L - news - msgs) 's (BP.L) presentations to investors are a bit like firework displays. There may be washouts sometimes, but you always know you will get more razzle-dazzle next time. Already, BP's returns, at 13%, are weaker than those of Shell (SHEL.L) and ExxonMobil. That gives it less of a cushion when the world does not run as smoothly as its
presentations

[eddie max] 12/2/2003 00:57

Keep adding - the divi isn't far away

You can be sure of Shell !

same for BP !

[grlz] 11/2/2003 18:24

A current 4.15% divi yield which moves on average +3% per annum or inline with inflation plus a AAA rating.

Its a good income play at these levels.

[bigspenner] 11/2/2003 16:45

I dont worry too much about the little bobbles of share price movement on the day , i am just waiting for it to top 4.00 again which i think is a short term bet.

[jen2000] 11/2/2003 16:43

Not So!! This happened yesterday as well!!

[jen2000] 11/2/2003 16:12

looks like shares dipped because of rns.

[bigspenner] 11/2/2003 15:40

I cant see a single reason why not, it is the most profitable company in europe now. That has got to count for a lot.

[jen2000] 11/2/2003 13:55

Eddie Max

Hope so!!

Hope Shell goes up as quick as BP today!!

[jen2000] 11/2/2003 00:56

BP reports the Russian deal is "speculation" and the share price goes up?

[jgray] 10/2/2003 13:59

Why not, it went down just as quick?

[jen2000] 10/2/2003 13:22

Anyone know why the share price is going up today?

[jen2000] 10/2/2003 13:22

Why is the sudden price up?
