Shell Exceeds Q2 Forecasts, Maintains Buyback
Shell reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of $4.26 billion, a 32% decrease from the previous year but ahead of analyst expectations of $3.7–$3.74 billion. The company maintained its $3.5 billion share buyback for the next quarter, marking 15 consecutive quarters of at least $3 billion in buybacks despite the earnings decline. Shell achieved $3.9 billion in structural cost savings since 2022, with a target of $5–$7 billion by 2028, and operating cash flow reached $11.9 billion. Net debt increased to $43.2 billion from $41.5 billion in the prior quarter. The company highlighted ongoing investments in deep-water and LNG projects, and CEO Wael Sawan emphasized strong operational performance. Shell’s decision to sustain shareholder returns follows similar strategies by European peers such as TotalEnergies.
