Shell (UK) ( (GB:SHEL) ) has provided an announcement.
Shell plc has launched a new $3.5 billion share buyback programme, aimed at reducing its issued share capital by repurchasing and cancelling up to 400 million ordinary shares over an aggregate term of around three months. The buyback, which is split evenly between London and Netherlands market venues under two irrevocable, non‑discretionary contracts with a single broker, is expected—subject to market conditions—to be completed before the announcement of Shell’s first‑quarter 2026 results, signalling continued capital returns to shareholders and potentially supporting earnings per share and equity valuation while operating within the company’s existing shareholder authorities and European and UK market abuse regulations.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SHEL) stock is a Hold with a £32.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shell (UK) stock, see the GB:SHEL Stock Forecast page.
