Question
Shell Cancels 3M Shares in Ongoing Buyback; Energy Sector Gains Support
Direct answer
Shell's latest share cancellation is a continuation of its commitment to return excess cash to shareholders. By reducing the share count at an average price of £31.62, the company is driving EPS growth even in a flat commodity environment. This move is particularly relevant for energy sector investors looking for defensive qualities amid geopolitical tensions.
