Economic Observer Network: Shell’s financial report for Q4 and the full year 2025 shows an adjusted profit of $3.26 billion, down 11% year-over-year, reaching the lowest level in nearly five years, mainly due to deteriorating performance in oil trading and losses in the chemical segment. The company also announced a 4% dividend increase to $0.372 per share and launched a $3.5 billion share repurchase plan.

Performance and Operations

Shell released its financial results for Q4 and the full year 2025 on February 5, 2026, showing an adjusted profit of $3.26 billion, down 11% year-over-year, reaching the lowest in nearly five years, mainly impacted by worsening oil trading performance and chemical segment losses. The company also announced a 4% dividend increase to $0.372 per share and initiated a $3.5 billion share buyback program.

Project Development

Shell plans to begin new exploration activities offshore Namibia in April 2026, marking its return to a high-potential frontier basin, which could present growth opportunities for upstream operations. Additionally, the company expects capital expenditures to remain between $20 billion and $22 billion in 2026 and will continue implementing cost reduction measures.

Industry Policies and Environment

Investors will focus on how oil price fluctuations (such as Brent crude oil around $68 per barrel in early 2026) impact Shell’s cash flow, as well as progress in improving the chemical business. The company previously warned that losses in the chemical segment might persist, and monitoring its optimization efforts is necessary.
