Shell (SHEL): news on Wednesday 28 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Wednesday morning, 28 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 centred on previews of Shell's third-quarter results, with the shares slipping ahead of the figures. A sale of its Nigerian gas unit and a positive take on its LNG strategy were offset by its involvement in Raizen's debt restructuring.
What drove it
- Q3 earnings preview
- Nigerian gas unit sale
- Raizen restructuring
