Market Focus06-15

On June 15, Shell fell 3.01% in pre-market trading, trading at $82.84/share, with turnover of $1.0881 million.

On the news front, Shell announced on June 12 the suspension of its ongoing $3 billion share buyback program. The suspension is effective from June 12 through July 14, related to securities law compliance requirements following the publication of a shareholder circular by ARC Resources. Shell stated that unexecuted buyback amounts will be carried forward to subsequent programs upon board approval.

Additionally, Shell is reportedly preparing to sell its offshore wind farm assets valued at over $1 billion by year-end, having engaged Rothschild & Co. and PJT Partners to lead the transaction. The move signals a further retreat from renewable energy as the company refocuses on its core fossil fuel business.

Within the Integrated Oil & Gas sector, the broader industry is under pressure. Among peers, Exxon Mobil down 2.6%, Chevron down 2.54%, Cenovus down 1.5%, Occidental down 3.41%, BP PLC down 3.6%.
