7 Large-Cap Stocks to Sell Right Away: Royal Dutch Shell PLC (ADR) (RDS.A)

Market Cap: $205.9 billion
Industry: Commodities

Speaking of oil and natural gas, I assume you have noticed the significant drop and subsequent rebound in oil prices in the past quarter.

Royal Dutch Shell PLC (ADR) (NYSE:RDS.A) is a leader in the oil and gas business, which means it’s not having a banner year to say the least.

Granted, first-quarter earnings were good, but it has its hands full with some big issues beyond the future of oil and gas prices.

Greenpeace and other environmental advocates have made if very difficult for RDS.A to start its Arctic operations. China is tying the company’s hands there.

And RDS.A is now obligated to clean up its substantial mess in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, the low price for oil has meant that RDS.A has had to suspend offshore drilling operations in West Africa.

Long-term, its acquisition of BG Group will be a good thing, but not for the near future. Stay away.

Stocks to Sell: Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A)

Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) has not had a good year.

Sure it’s off 33% year to date, but that performance only tells part of the story.

Most recently, Shell had to write a $6 billion loss for its ill-fated Arctic drilling operation in Alaska. It looks like the company is trying to wrap up operations in New Zealand to save some money.

And while its British Gas merger has been greenlit, it will now be the world’s largest distributor of liquified natural gas (LNG) at a time when LNG is trading at multi-year lows.

Its upstream operations aren’t doing well, which isn’t surprising and so it will look downstream to retail operations to turn their investors’ frown upside down.

But don’t count on that or RDS.A stock’s 8% dividend.

Shell plans US$125b payouts in five years for shareholders

Royal Dutch Shell Plc expects to return US$125 billion or more to shareholders from 2021 to 2025 via dividends and buybacks, the Anglo-Dutch company said today.

The integrated energy giant raised its guidance for organic free cash flow in 2025 to US$35 billion at an oil price of US$60 a barrel.

Shell said the expected shareholder returns are an increase on the period ending in 2020, where shareholder returns are anticipated at around $90 billion.

The company said it expects to raise its dividend when it is closer to completing the current US$25 billion share-buyback program. Shell maintained its quarterly dividend in the first quarter of the year at 47 cents a share.

The company will invest an average of US$30 billion in capital expenditure a year during the period, capped at US$32 billion a year. This includes minor acquisition spend of up to US$1 billion but excludes major inorganic opportunities.

Shell said it has re-focused its strategic themes into three categories--core upstream, leading transition and emerging power--to shape its portfolio and drive capital allocation.

Royal Dutch Shell Continues to Impress

The oil and gas giant's most recent earnings results and updates should give investors confidence in the stock for years to come.

by Tyler Crowe

May 6, 2019

One of the remarkable aspects of Shell's most recent earnings results was the fact that its downstream segments -- oil products and chemicals -- performed reasonably well.

Other oil majors this past quarter noted that refining margins were some of the weakest they had experienced over the past decade.

Fortunately for Shell, though, much of its refining business is outside North America and it was thus less exposed to that particular market weakness.
