Oil major Shell launches $3.5 billion share buyback after first-quarter profit beat

  • British energy giant Shell reported a 35 percent fall in first-quarter 2025 profit to $4.8 billion amid weaker oil prices and lower revenue.
  • The profit decline follows a slump in crude prices caused by concerns over global economic slowdown and US tariff policies impacting demand.
  • Despite the profit drop, Shell beat analysts' expectations, maintained shareholder returns, and announced a $3.5 billion share buyback over the next three months.
  • Shell’s CEO Wael Sawan expressed assurance from the recent financial outcomes, prompting the company to initiate an additional $3.5 billion in share repurchases over the upcoming three months, while the stock price increased by more than three percent.
  • Shell’s strategic focus on oil and gas, combined with a resilient balance sheet, positions it to sustain payouts if oil prices stay above $60 per barrel.
