US EditionOil giant Shell beats profit expectations despite weaker crude prices
Shell's adjusted earnings of $5.4 billion exceeded expectations as higher sales volumes, trading margins, and tax benefits offset weaker crude prices in Q3 2025.
- On Thursday, British oil major Shell reported adjusted earnings of $5.4 billion for the quarter, beating analyst expectations of $5.05 billion.
- Weaker crude prices forced British oil major Shell's third-quarter profit below six billion from last year, though it rose 27% on the previous quarter, the firm said.
- Operationally, increased volumes helped, and a $161 million benefit from favourable tax write-offs supported profits, offset by depreciation, depletion, and amortisation expenses.
- The group said it would hand a further 3.5 billion US dollars back to shareholders and Shell will commence buybacks for the next three months; its London-listed share price has climbed more than 16% year-to-date.
- U.S. oil giants Exxon Mobil and Chevron are scheduled to report third-quarter results on Friday, with Britain's BP set to follow on Tuesday after Norway's Equinor posted $6.21 billion on Wednesday.
