Shell PLC Shares Hit a Record High of €34.74 Amid Sustained Upward Momentum
On Thursday, Shell PLC reached a new all-time high of €34.74, surpassing its previous peak on April 12, 2024. The stock traded around €34.66 in late morning, up 0.25% from the previous day. This performance is part of a favorable trend over several time frames, with an increase of more than 3% over the past week and nearly 9.6% over three months.
Technical Breakthrough for Shell PLC
Shell PLC's breakthrough of its previous record at €34.74 represents a significant technical event. The stock price broke through the upper Bollinger band, set at €34.57, a level that had previously acted as resistance. This breach signals an acceleration of buying pressure beyond the usual fluctuation zone of the stock over the last twenty sessions. The positioning of the price well above the 50 and 200-day moving averages, located respectively at €31.87 and €31.54, confirms the strength of the upward trend. The increasing gap between the current price and these medium and long-term benchmarks indicates a well-established bullish momentum. The RSI, at 62, remains distant from the traditional overbought zone identified beyond 70, which leaves room for further progress before a technical excess signal appears.
Key Dates Ahead for Shell
Beyond market dynamics, Shell's calendar looks busy in the coming weeks. March 6 marks the deadline for choosing the dividend payment currency, a key date watched by shareholders who wish to optimize their payout based on currency exchange trends. On March 12, the group will publish its 2025 annual report along with the associated regulatory form, providing a complete overview of its financial results and governance. Finally, on March 16, Shell will release its strategic document on the prospects of liquefied natural gas, titled 'LNG Outlook.' This publication is particularly significant for assessing the major's positioning in a key segment of the global energy transition. These three events could provide new catalysts for the stock in a context of valuation at its peak.
