Shell Plc (LSE:SHEL) reported a decline in income for the second quarter of 2025, driven by lower trading margins and reduced realized prices for both liquids and natural gas. However, the impact was partially offset by stronger marketing margins and lower operating costs. As part of its continued focus on shareholder returns, Shell unveiled a new $3.5 billion share buyback program, scheduled for completion by Q3 2025. The company also marked key portfolio milestones, including the first LNG shipment from its LNG Canada facility and an increased stake in the Ursa platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
Shell maintains a positive outlook, supported by solid financial fundamentals, strong technical momentum, and its commitment to capital returns. While revenue pressures and sector-specific headwinds remain, the company’s strategic positioning and active portfolio management reinforce its long-term investment case.
