Shell reported solid Q4 results, with earnings up 17% on the previous quarter, and well ahead of consensus estimates. Performance was helped by another “exceptional” end to the year in LNG trading and optimisation. There was no update on strategy or messaging, with Shell reaffirming what was laid out at CMD23. And there was a degree of expectation management ahead of the company's Energy Transition Strategy update in March. While there will be additional clarity on strategy beyond 2025, including in low carbon energy solutions, we were warned not to expect much by way of new guidance and targets. Shell announced a 4% dividend increase for Q4 2023, and committed to repurchasing another US$3.5 billion of shares in Q1 2024. Shareholder distributions for 2023 amounted to US$23 billion, equivalent to 42% of reported CFFO for the year.
