Oil and gas company Shell on Tuesday won its appeal against a landmark climate ruling in the Netherlands, which in 2021 ordered the oil and gas company to sharply reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
A Dutch court will decide on Tuesday whether to uphold a landmark climate ruling against Shell , which in 2021 ordered the oil and gas company to sharply reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
SHEL and Deltic Energy confirm significant gas discovery at the Selene prospect in the U.K. Southern North Sea, signaling development.
A rather unsubtle change is afoot at the world's two British oil majors - BP (LON: BP) and Shell (LON: SHEL). Having pledged and burnt millions on renewable energy moves under their former bosses, both are now turning to traditional oil and gas plays to earn back more than few millions under current ones.
Shell PLC's (LSE:SHEL, NYSE:SHEL) next round in its battle with Dutch environmentalists concludes on Tuesday when the verdict on its appeal against the 2021 ruling is announced. The Anglo-Dutch giant was stunned when it lost the original case, which has been cited though not confirmed as a reason for its domicile shift from its traditional home of the Netherlands to the UK.
SHEL is all set to lead Europe's energy landscape by converting its Rheinland refinery in Germany: shifting from crude oil to premium base oils.
Q3 earnings came in 12% ahead of consensus, as strong results in LNG and further progress in cost savings offset a weaker refining business. On both a Q3 and 9M 24 y/y basis, Shell significantly outperformed peers in earnings power, being the only major to deliver y/y EPS growth for both periods. Cash generation was another key highlight with $9.7B in FCF implying a ~$40B/year run-rate (~20% FCF yield) while buybacks continue at $3.5B/quarter (~7% yield).
SHEL reported cash flow from operations of $14.7 billion in Q3, returned $2.2 billion to its shareholders through dividends and spent $4.7 billion on capital projects.

Shell PLC (LSE:SHEL, NYSE:SHEL) is firmly entrenched as one of RBC's top thirty investment ideas after its third-quarter update, with its appeal underpinned by what the Canadian bank describes as a 'fortress balance sheet'. Notable in the latest numbers was that the earnings beat was not driven by a single division but broad-based, RBC adds.
Shell should outperform the coming period of weak oil and gas prices. Mr. Market usually goes to extremes. Extreme pessimism often means a bargain price. The company will get its share of growth projects for a long-term growth rate in the single digits.
