    British oil major Shell on Thursday reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter profit, citing robust operational performance and higher trading contributions.

    Shell posted adjusted earnings of $5.4 billion for the quarter, beating analyst expectations of $5.05 billion, according to an LSEG-compiled consensus. A separate, company-provided analyst forecast had put Shell’s expected third-quarter profit at $5.09 billion.

    The London-headquartered firm reported adjusted earnings of $6 billion over the same period last year and $4.26 billion for this year’s April-June period.

    “Shell delivered another strong set of results, with clear progress across our portfolio and excellent performance in our Marketing business and deepwater assets in the Gulf of America and Brazil,” Shell CEO Wael Sawan said in a statement.

    The company also announced another $3.5 billion in share buybacks over the next three months, maintaining the pace of its shareholder returns. The company said it marked the 16th consecutive quarter of at least $3 billion in buybacks.

    The company’s net debt, meanwhile, came in at $41.2 billion at the end of the third quarter, down from $43.2 billion on a quarterly basis.

    Shell’s London-listed share price has climbed more than 16% year-to-date, outperforming its industry peers.

    Its results come after Norwegian energy firm Equinor on Wednesday posted a steeper-than-expected drop in third-quarter profit, with adjusted operating income coming in at $6.21 billion for the July-September period.

    U.S. oil giants Exxon Mobil and Chevron are both scheduled to report third-quarter results on Friday, with Britain’s BP set to follow suit on Tuesday.

  • Stellantis Reports 13% Year-Over-Year Increase in Q3 2025 Shipments and Net Revenues

    Stellantis Reports 13% Year-Over-Year Increase in Q3 2025 Shipments and Net Revenues

    AMSTERDAM – Stellantis N.V. today announced its Q3 2025 results, reporting a 13% year-over-year increase in Net revenues to €37.2 billion, primarily driven by growth in North America, Enlarged Europe and Middle East & Africa, while South America saw a moderate decrease. Consolidated shipments(1) totaled 1.3 million units, up 13% (152,000 units), with most of the increase due to a 35% improvement in North America reflecting the benefits of normalized inventory dynamics, compared to the prior year in which the U.S. dealer stock reduction initiative temporarily decreased production.

     

    Progressing Product Launches

    By the end of Q3, six of the ten new vehicles planned for 2025 introduction were successfully launched. Additional launches in the fourth quarter will reintroduce several volume nameplates which exemplify important, decisive changes already made in the Company’s strategy to provide customers with greater freedom to choose the cars and the configurations they want. Ordering is now open for the SIXPACK-powered Dodge Charger Scat Pack (2-door), the four-door Dodge Charger Daytona, Jeep® Cherokee, Fiat 500 Hybrid and DS No.8.

    Sales momentum in the U.S. improved, with a 6% increase in Q3 sales year-over-year. This trend was evidenced across the Jeep®, Ram, Chrysler, and Dodge brands – taking the Company to a monthly market share of 8.7% in September, the highest in 15 months. Another milestone in September was the return to market of the HEMI® V-8-powered Ram 1500.

    In Enlarged Europe, several recently introduced models, including the Citroën C3, C3 Aircross, Opel/Vauxhall Frontera and Fiat Grande Panda, supported an improved market share in the B-segment, underpinned by increased production. Net revenues rose 4% compared to the prior year period. Market share in EU30 fell to 15.4%, affected by market declines in France and Italy, where Stellantis has greater exposure and a moderately lower market share in the LCV segment.

    Outside North America and Enlarged Europe, Stellantis delivered solid commercial results. Aggregated sales grew 6% year-over-year, led by Middle East & Africa, partially offset by South America.

     

    Stellantis Leadership Team

    On 8th October Stellantis announced a number of new appointments to its Senior Leadership Team, promoting exceptional talent from both inside and outside the Company to sharpen regional focus and drive long-term sustainable success.

     

    $13 Billion Investment to Grow in the United States

    On October 14, Stellantis unveiled a strategic $13 billion investment program for the next four years to accelerate growth and expand its manufacturing footprint in the United States. This marks the largest U.S. investment in the Company’s 100-year history and will include the launch of five new vehicles and the creation of over 5,000 jobs.

    • Belvidere, Illinois, plant to reopen for production of two new Jeep® models – Cherokee and Compass
    • All-new Ram midsize truck to be assembled in Toledo, Ohio
    • Warren, Michigan, plant to produce all-new large SUV with both range-extended EV and internal combustion engine powertrains
    • Next-generation Dodge Durango to be built in Detroit
    • Kokomo, Indiana, facilities to produce all-new GMET4 EVO engine

    The new investment will further expand Stellantis’ already significant U.S. footprint, increasing annual finished vehicle production by 50% over current levels. The new product launches will be in addition to a regular cadence of 19 refreshed products across all U.S. assembly plants and updated powertrains planned through 2029.

     

    Stellantis H2 2025 Financial Guidance

    Stellantis reiterates its H2 2025 financial guidance, which anticipated continued improvement in Net revenues, AOI and Industrial free cash flows compared to H1 2025.

    As we continue making important and necessary changes to our strategic and product plans, also in response to regulatory, geopolitical, macro-economic and other external and internal developments, we anticipate incurring charges in H2 2025, which, once finalized, we expect will largely be excluded from AOI.

    We have also initiated a review of our warranty estimation process, which we expect to result in changes in those estimates and one-off charges in H2 2025.

     

    Upcoming Events

    On October 30, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. CET / 8:00 a.m. EDT, a live webcast and conference call will be held to present Stellantis’ Third Quarter 2025 Shipments and Revenues, with the presentation expected to be posted at approximately 8:00 a.m. CET / 3:00 a.m. EDT. The webcast and recorded replay will be accessible under the Investors section of the Stellantis corporate website (www.stellantis.com).
