On this Monday, SHELL PLC's stock presents a rare configuration: a crossing of historical highs coincides with the detachment of its quarterly dividend.
During Monday's session, SHELL's stock has risen by +0.92% to €39.305, after closing at €38.95 on Friday. The seven-day increase amounts to 8.67%, and over three months, the stock has gained 27.57%. This movement is part of a series of successive records established since the end of February, with the stock having crossed its all-time high during the session today at €39.61. This market context is directly fueled by the international oil situation: Brent crude stands at 105.59 USD per barrel (+1.64%) this morning, while WTI has reached 100.00 USD (+0.65%). The ongoing deadlock over securing the Strait of Hormuz, a key passage for global crude transit, maintains a structural upward pressure on hydrocarbon prices, from which Shell, as an integrated major, directly benefits. In this context, the CAC 40 slightly declines by 0.08% during the session, highlighting the uniqueness of the stock's trajectory compared to the Parisian index.

March 16th also marks the detachment date of the fourth quarter 2025 dividend, amounting to €1.32, with payment scheduled for March 30th. This detachment occurs while the stock is significantly above its reference moving averages: the MM50 is at €33.22 and the MM200 at €31.89, representing gaps of respectively 18% and 23% compared to the current price. The MACD shows a positive component at 0.31, confirming the persistence of the bullish momentum. However, the RSI at 85 indicates a marked technical tension zone, signaling that the stock is operating in a significantly extended territory. Moreover, the publication today of a strategic LNG Outlook document by the group is an agenda item to watch for operators exposed to Shell's liquefied natural gas activity. The conjunction of a record crossing and a coupon detachment enhances the visibility of the day on the stock, without these two events contradicting each other in their fundamental and technical reading.
