Shell stock (ISIN GB00BP6MXD84) closed at 3,511 pence on the London Stock Exchange on September 22, 2026, up 0.6 percent from the previous close. The move followed a higher earnings forecast and Shell's completed USD 840 million sale of interests in Gulf of America assets.
EPS forecast rises by 29.4 percent
According to TradingView on September 22, 2026, Baader raised its 2026 EPS forecast to USD 5.76 from USD 4.45. The USD 1.31 increase represents a 29.4 percent revision and gives the latest market move a specific earnings connection.
The same September 22, 2026 update raised Baader's 2027 EPS forecast to USD 5.57 from USD 4.48, an increase of 24.3 percent. The cited drivers were higher oil-price assumptions and additional production linked to Shell's planned acquisition of ARC Resources.
Asset sale brings USD 840 million
According to StockTitan on September 22, 2026, Shell completed the sale of its interests in the Na Kika platform and Coulomb tieback for approximately USD 840 million in cash proceeds. The transaction involved assets that supplied 37,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of Shell entitlement production in 2025.
The sale also transfers 11.5 million barrels of oil equivalent in proved reserves measured at the end of 2025, comprising 4.3 million barrels for Na Kika and 7.2 million barrels for Coulomb. Shell retains offtake rights and may receive uncapped upside-linked payments through 2027, while buyers assume certain decommissioning obligations.
Stock remains below yearly high
Shell's London price of 3,511 pence on September 22, 2026 was 243 pence below the 52-week high of 3,754 pence and 917 pence above the 52-week low of 2,594 pence. The dated market snapshot recorded 4,654,766 shares traded on September 21, 2026 and a market capitalization of USD 261.60 billion as of September 22, 2026.
The earnings revision improves the numerical outlook, but it also exposes Shell stock to the same commodity-price assumptions that supported the forecast. A reversal in oil or gas prices would therefore work against the 29.4 percent EPS revision.
