Shell (SHEL): news on Monday 26 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Monday morning, 26 October 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage was mixed. A record refining margin for Q3 and the Infineum sale, worth $8bn, were positive, but commentary on energy transition departures and a collapsed German battery project weighed on the overall picture.
What drove it
- record refining margin
- Infineum sale
- energy transition setbacks
