Shell (SHEL): news on Thursday 12 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Thursday morning, 12 November 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 leaned negative, led by critical pieces on a Namibia setback and US discrimination lawsuits, plus a technical view showing seller pressure. A halt to a run of share price falls and a confirmed dividend offered some modest balance.
What drove it
- Namibia setback
- US discrimination lawsuits
- share price weakness
