Shell plc stock (NL0000009827) closed at GBP 28.60 on the London Stock Exchange on September 10, 2026, up 0.8 percent for the day. The move came as Shell also backed its Q2 2026 beat with buybacks and a USD 715 million US power asset swap.

Q2 2026 beat

According to MarketBeat on September 11, 2026, Erste Group Bank raised its FY2026 EPS estimate for Shell to USD 11.20 from USD 11.18 and kept a Buy rating, while the wider consensus stood at USD 10.84. The same report said Shell's latest quarterly EPS was USD 3.52 versus USD 3.23 expected, and revenue was USD 94.66 billion versus USD 86.22 billion expected.

That is a clear beat in both profit and sales, and the numbers matter more than the broad energy backdrop. MarketBeat also said Shell had 7 Buy ratings and 11 Hold ratings, with an average price target of USD 107.46 across 18 analysts.

Buybacks and assets

As Ad-hoc-news reported on September 11, 2026, Shell's shares were trading near USD 95.34 on September 10, 2026, close to a 12-month high of USD 96.99 and a market capitalization of about USD 269.14 billion. The same report said Shell agreed to sell its RISEC interest for USD 715 million and acquire full ownership of Hunlock Creek Generating.

For investors, the combination of a USD 715 million portfolio move and ongoing repurchases is the more important signal than the daily market noise. The report also said Shell's adjusted Q2 2026 earnings reached USD 9.84 billion, more than double USD 4.26 billion a year earlier.

London close near highs

Shell stock finished September 10, 2026 at GBP 28.60 on the London Stock Exchange, with an intraday range of GBP 28.25 to GBP 28.90. The shares ended less than GBP 1 below a recent 52-week high near GBP 29.50, keeping the chart close to the upper end of its range.
