What believers are saying

  • Q2 2026 adjusted earnings hit $9.8 billion, with $21.4 billion operating cash flow.
  • ARC shareholders approved Shell’s $13.6 billion acquisition; closing is expected in Q3 2026.
  • Raízen court approval on July 30, 2026, advances Shell-backed deleveraging and control clarity.

What critics are saying

  • Milieudefensie’s 2026 Dutch Supreme Court case targets a 45% emissions cut by 2030.
  • Raízen’s July 2026 restructuring dilutes Shell and keeps Brazilian biofuels exposure unstable.
  • ARC integration and Middle East outages can disrupt Q3 2026 volumes and investor trust.

What makes Shell unique

  • Shell’s integrated gas, trading, and refining scale cushions commodity swings better than peers.
  • Wael Sawan’s portfolio discipline targets 4% production CAGR through 2030 via ARC Resources.
  • Shell’s global brand and Shell Recharge network still anchor downstream customer access.

Shell and oil majors see profits double amid market volatility, not price gouging

US President Donald Trump has accused oil companies of price gouging and called for a Department of Justice review as oil prices rise amid Middle East geopolitical tensions. Major oil companies have reported strong earnings in the first half of 2026. Shell's earnings more than doubled to $2.94 per share from $1.40, whilst revenues rose 22%. Chevron saw earnings surge to $7.23 per share from $3.46, with revenues up 28%. ExxonMobil's earnings increased roughly 66% to $5.60 per share, with revenues up around 22%. The companies operate in commodity markets where prices are determined by market forces rather than individual firms, contradicting price-gouging allegations despite consumer and political concerns about rising fuel costs.

Shell posts record Q2 profit of $10.8B as oil and gas prices surge following Iran conflict

Shell reported record second-quarter profits, its strongest quarterly performance in four years. Earnings more than doubled as oil and gas prices rose following the US-Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The company maintained operations whilst repairing damage at its Qatari gas-to-liquids facility and advancing a North Sea gas project. Shell is awaiting regulatory approval for a major acquisition of ARC Resources that could reshape its portfolio. Net income reached $10.8 billion for the quarter. The company declared a dividend of $0.39 per share and continued share buybacks. Shell shares closed at £33.19, up 20.3% year-to-date and 27.2% over the past year. New production guidance for Q3 2026 excludes ARC and Qatar volumes whilst factoring in higher maintenance costs.

Shell to acquire ARC Resources for $22B in cash and share deal expected to close in Q3 2026

ARC Resources reported second quarter 2026 results on 30 July, with average production of 390,465 barrels of oil equivalent per day, a 9% increase compared to the same quarter in 2025. The Canadian energy company generated funds from operations of $816 million and free funds flow of $349 million. The announcement comes as ARC shareholders overwhelmingly approved Shell's proposed acquisition of the company on 14 July. The $22 billion cash and share transaction, including assumed net debt, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. Several regulatory approvals have been obtained, including under the Competition Act and Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. ARC's capital expenditures totalled $467 million during the quarter, with its 2026 capital budget of $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion unchanged.

Shell doubles profit to $9.8B as European stocks navigate Fed uncertainty and US-Iran strikes

European stocks traded in a narrow range on Thursday as strong corporate earnings offset concerns over US monetary policy and escalating US-Iran tensions. The pan-European STOXX 600 hovered near flat, whilst Germany's DAX slipped 0.2% and France's CAC 40 gained 0.6%. Shell provided an early boost, more than doubling its second-quarter adjusted profit to $9.8 billion, beating market expectations. Société Générale rose 2% after reporting a record quarterly profit, whilst Spain's BBVA gained 2.6% following increased second-quarter net profit. Schneider Electric jumped 7.3% after raising full-year guidance on strong energy infrastructure demand. However, sentiment remained constrained after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged but delivered an unclear monetary policy outlook. Fresh US military strikes inside Iran further escalated geopolitical tensions, keeping global energy markets under scrutiny.
