Shell Plc (SHEL)

Following the management day last month, Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) went over its 2025 outlook in considerable detail, which has proven to be quite useful in understanding just where this company wants to be in the long term. The question for shareholders is whether or not the value proposition today is compelling enough or not. I believe that if investors are willing to take the risk that the company can deliver on its buyback, dividend growth, and medium to long-term cash flow targets, then this is absolutely a stock worth owning today as it will have one of the most competitive total return prospects in the sector, all the while retaining its high quality, major producer status.
