Shell (SHEL): news on Thursday 29 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Thursday morning, 29 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
Most coverage reported that Shell has started the third stage of output at Silvertip, a Gulf of America field, which is clearly positive. Its continuing share repurchases gave slight support, whereas talk of Nord Stream possibly being revived was conjecture.
What drove it
- Silvertip Phase 3 production
- share buybacks
- Nord Stream speculation
