So how do you have it Shell (LSE: Shel) Actions recently made? Quite limp, the answer is coming.

In the last 12 months they are modest 7%. For comparison FTSE 100 As the dividend increased, it increased by 16.3%. The oil and gas giant at that time lasted at that time.

Most of the actions – as it is – appeared in recent weeks. The price of SHELL shares increased by 5.5% since the beginning of the year. If the investor placed 10,000 pounds in shares, when the markets opened in January 2025, today they would have 10,555 pounds. This is a profit of 555 pounds, before turnover.

When will this FTSE 100 supply be released?

The expression “shooting to light” does not come to my mind. Often, however, the best time to invest in shares is when it looks a bit disappointing. Before recovering, not later. Assuming there is one.

Shell financial results have been mixed up, reflecting the challenges related to energy price fluctuations. On January 30, the Council reported a keen decrease in corrected earnings from USD 6 billion to a quarter to USD 3.7 billion in the fourth quarter. Weaker refining margins did not support.

Despite this, Shell generated USD 39.5 billion in free cash flow in 2024, compared to last year’s USD 36.5 billion despite lower energy prices.

The Council also continues the amazing purchase of shares, paying another USD 3.5 billion before the Q1 results. It is 13 in a row a quarter of at least USD 3 billion, while limiting the net debt and wandering to the latest dividend by 4%.

Analysts remain carefully positive. 19 analysts offering annual stock price forecasts created a median target 3292 Pens. If it is precise, it would be an augment of over 23% of today. In addition, there is a forecast dividend performance of 4.7%, nicely covered 2.5 times by earnings.

Forecasts are not guaranteed and, of course, are subject to various market risks.

This is a huge redemption of shares, as well as dividends

Brent oil withdrew below 73 USD for a barrel. While Shell can crack even at much lower prices, further slipping the revenues.

If we receive a peace agreement in Ukraine and Russian oil production, the price of oil may break down. Donald Trump calls the US to obtain drilling, which can augment production and sink the price. Both can harm Shell. Oil supplies are on the edge of the knife. They are usually.

The current Shell valuation seems attractive. The price ratio to profit (P/E) is 8.84. This modest valuation, combined with the involvement of management in shareholders and mighty generation of cash flows, makes it convincing for long -term investors.

There is talk of a basic list in New York to raise a valuation. I don’t pay much attention to it. It can only be speculation or a coating plate that swims as a threat to the Great Britain’s government. And when Glencore He said he wanted to go to the USA and his price actually dropped.

I already have exposure to the oil and gas sector via BP. For an investor who wants to raise his own exhibition, I would say that Shell is worth considering today. Long -term profits should pay off, provided that they can withstand low -term variability.
