Shell (SHEL) - Among the Best LNG Stocks to Buy Now

Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) is an integrated energy company with operations spanning exploration, production, refining, marketing, and chemical manufacturing, alongside growing investments in biofuels and hydrogen.

On February 6, Wells Fargo slightly reduced its price target on Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) from $78 to $77, while maintaining an ‘Equal Weight’ rating on the shares. The analyst highlighted how Shell maintained its quarterly share repurchase pace following its Q4 results, despite missing profit estimates amid a low-priced environment. The energy giant can do that because it has maintained its debt at target levels and boasts a robust balance sheet. However, the analyst believes the market is waiting for a resource-catalyst to drive further re-rating.

Shell plc (NYSE:SHEL) announced its Q4 2025 results on February 5, reporting earnings and revenue below forecasts. The firm reported 2% YoY production growth during the quarter, but was held back by lower crude prices, weak oil-trading performance, and a struggling chemicals business. However, despite the tough results, Shell maintained its quarterly share buyback program of $3.5 billion.
