The Bullish Case for Shell plc: Analyzing Q2 2025 Results

Recently, a bullish analysis on Shell plc has gained traction on the Investing With Purpose Substack. As of September 18, SHEL shares were trading at $71.44, with trailing and forward P/E ratios measured at 15.95 and 10.76, respectively, according to Yahoo Finance.

Q2 2025 Financial Summary

Shell’s Q2 2025 earnings report indicates a decline in headline earnings, yet foundational operational strength persists. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) decreased to $4.3 billion from $5.6 billion in Q1. The income attributable to shareholders fell to $3.6 billion, attributed largely to a drop in Brent crude prices, which averaged $71.7 per barrel during the first half of the year—a significant decrease from $84.1 per barrel the previous year.

In spite of the decline in earnings, Shell showcased an impressive cash-generating capability, with $11.9 billion derived from operations and $6.5 billion in free cash flow. The company successfully returned $5.7 billion to shareholders and maintained a conservative gearing ratio of 19%, illustrating a balance sheet designed for flexibility and resilience.

Segment Performance

Performance across segments reflected broader macroeconomic trends. The Integrated Gas and Upstream segments reported earnings of $1.7 billion each, a decline from $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. Conversely, the Marketing segment demonstrated resilience, increasing earnings to $1.2 billion from $0.9 billion, which highlights the company’s ability to leverage its downstream operations amid market volatility. The Chemicals & Products segment saw earnings contract to $0.9 billion, while Renewables & Energy Solutions held steady at $0.2 billion. Year-over-year, the adjusted earnings for H1 2025 totalled $9.8 billion, reflecting a substantial 30% drop from $14.0 billion in H1 2024, primarily due to falling commodity prices and compressed downstream margins.

Strategic Initiatives and Long-Term Value Creation

Shell is actively executing strategic initiatives aimed at bolstering long-term value. This includes achieving $3.9 billion in cost reductions—of which over 60% stem from structural changes and non-portfolio measures. Operating expenses have declined from $39.5 billion in 2022 to $34.6 billion on a rolling four-quarter basis. A significant development for Shell was the delivery of its inaugural LNG Canada cargo, establishing a competitive edge in the Asian LNG export market.

Conclusion: A Narrative of Resilience

While headline profits have softened, Shell’s strong cash generation, disciplined capital allocation, and focus on high-return projects position the company favorably for long-term success. With its resilient balance sheet and strategic execution, Shell represents a compelling investment narrative poised for sustained growth.

In previous insights, we explored a bullish thesis on Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY) by Magnus Ofstad in May 2025. OXY’s stock has risen approximately 10.03% since that coverage, fueled by operational enhancements and a robust long-term outlook. The bullish perspective on Shell aligns with this, focusing on the company’s strong cash flow, financial health, and effective strategic execution.
