Shell Oil Company reported that profits exceeded expectations in the last quarter, driven by an increase in sales volume and trading margins.
The company announced today, Thursday, that it will distribute an additional $3.5 billion to shareholders.
According to the London-listed company, adjusted profits reached $5.43 billion for the third quarter of 2025, surpassing analysts' forecasts, as reported by the German news agency DPA.
This marks a 27% increase from the previous quarter but is lower than the $6 billion recorded in the same period last year.
Sales volume improved compared to the previous quarter, while the company also benefited from $161 million in tax reductions during the quarter.
Shell was also supported by its gas operations, which saw income jump by 28% and profits rise by 23% for the third quarter.
