I don't think they want to run any risk of ever having to cut the dividend again. I think they're going to be very pro-buybacks because they're much easier to turn up and down without negative headlines and each share bought back reduces total dividend outflow.
If oil goes to $80 as some believe it will, then I can see a step change in the divided, perhaps $0.25 or something, particularly if the stock rises significantly so the yield becomes really quite low but I don't think there's any chance of a return to $0.47 for at least a decade unless oil goes absurdly high. It definitely isn't going to happen next year.
Buybacks at the current share price are far preferable to dividends IMO although a big dividend increase would probably boost the stock more.
I dont think it will return for a lot of years and possibly ever.
The higher dividend the more difficult to pay especially when long term future profits are likely to be low than now.
I think they will stick to the plan this year with buy backs from Q2/Q3 subject to hitting debt target.
Next year it will rise again but i dont think by much more than the 4% they mentioned....
Things seem to be going their way in that they are making monster profits (subject to covid) to reinvest in renewables just at the right time....
34adsasddsa, So you think the dividend will never return? the company has never said what will happen next year so there is nothing to read.
Shell has raised the divi 3 times since cutting it by 66%. Most of the inrease has been lost with the falling dollar. I think its now 17,35¢ a share. Shell said that it intends to raise divi 4% each year. Once debt has been reduced to 65 billion then they will look again. Maybe share buybacks or dividend rise. But no chance of dividend back at old levels for a long haul. Talk is cheap. What one intends to do & what one does ate usually miles apart. Van baurden said 3 months b4 he slashed divi he intended to grow it, as did Vodafone c e o. Talk is cheap. You just never know how it will pan out. You just never what's around the corner, as covid proved. Maybe a bp & shell merger is 1 way out of the share more for both. But we won't be that lucky.
Since the dividend was cut 66? last year , shell has given 3 4% rises. Like ypu say with the fall of dollar it isnt a lot. Shell have said they will raise it by
They aren't going to do that. Why aren't you reading what the management are saying?
The dividend has only risen 1c but has actually dropped due to better pound so not really a time for excitement. As long as both BP and RDSB return to full dividend next year is a good enough hope for me.
are gradually creeping up from the re base. This should be a good stock for income seekers in the coming years as well as the prospect of significant capital increase.
I will be surprised to see a dividend cut again in my lifetime following the first recently since the 2nd world war.
