On April 14, 2025, Shell's trading volume reached 3.04 billion, marking a 42.92% decrease from the previous day. The stock ranked 285th in terms of trading volume for the day.

Shell plc has continued its share buyback program, purchasing 1.5 million shares on April 14, 2025. The buyback included 900,000 shares on the London Stock Exchange at an average price of £23.65 per share and 600,000 shares on the Amsterdam exchange at an average price of €27.63 per share. This transaction is part of a broader buyback program announced on January 30, 2025, which is set to continue until April 25, 2025. The trading decisions for this program are independently managed by Natixis, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, including UK Listing Rules and Market Abuse Regulations.

Shell's ongoing buyback program demonstrates the company's financial strength and strategic use of excess cash. This initiative is part of Shell's capital return strategy, aimed at providing value to shareholders by reducing the number of outstanding shares and increasing earnings per share. The buyback program signals management's confidence in the company's financial position to investors, although it is an anticipated execution within the previously established framework rather than a new strategic initiative.
