シェルの第2四半期の利益は予想を上回り63億ドルとなり,株価の買い戻しプログラムが発表されました. Shell Q2 earnings surpass expectations at $6.3bn, share buyback programs announced.

シェルは予想以上に高い第2四半期利益を報告し,市場予想を59億ドルに打ち破り,化石燃料の価格と精製の利潤の低下は,マーケティング部門の利潤の上昇と総額で相殺されました. Shell reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter earnings of $6.3bn, beating market expectations of $5.9bn, with lower fossil fuel prices and refining margins offset by stronger profit margins and total volumes in its marketing division. 会社は今後3ヶ月間35億ドルの株価買い戻しプログラムを発表し,さらに27億ポンドの株価買い戻しプログラムを計画していることを確認した. The company announced a $3.5bn share buyback program for the next three months and affirmed plans for a further £2.7bn share buyback program. シェルの純債務は,四半期に22億ドル減少し,383億ドルとなった. Despite the slowdown in earnings, Shell's net debt was reduced by $2.2bn to $38.3bn during the quarter.
