Shell's (SHEL) stock price experienced a significant decline today, falling to its lowest level since July 2023, with an intraday drop of 2.01%.

Shell's stock price has been influenced by several factors recently. One of the primary reasons for the decline is the company's announcement of lower first-quarter gas production due to unplanned maintenance. This news led to a 2.8% drop in Shell's U.S. shares, reflecting investor concerns over the company's operational efficiency and production capabilities.

On a more positive note,

announced its latest share buyback activity on April 9, 2025. The company purchased 2.1 million shares as part of its ongoing repurchase program, which is set to continue until April 25, 2025. This move is aimed at increasing investor confidence and reducing the number of shares available in the market, which could potentially support the stock price in the long run.
