Shell stock dividends

Shell dividend payout ratio: 65% of net profits

Recently Shell has paid out, on average, around 65% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.34% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are not a guarantee of future payouts), Shell shareholders could enjoy a 3.34% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Shell's case, that would currently equate to about 1.45 per share.

Shell's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Shell's most recent dividend payout was on March 30, 2026. The latest dividend was paid to shareholders who bought before February 20, 2026.

Shell stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Shell stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Shell's P/E ratio

  Shell's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 13x.

  That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

• Shell's PEG ratio

  Shell's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio comes out to about 1.2887.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Shell's expected earnings growth.

• Shell's EBITDA

  Shell's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $45.9 billion.

Has Shell stock ever split?

Shell's stocks were split on a 4:1 basis on June 29, 1997. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you'd have owned 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Shell stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 300% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Shell stocks, which in turn could have impacted Shell's stock price.

How volatile is Shell stock?

Over the last 12 months, Shell's stocks price has ranged from $62.31 to as high as $94.90. Shell's beta measurement of stock volatility is -0.24. For comparison, the market () average beta is 1. This would suggest that Shell's stocks have been inversely-correlated to the average (on this exchange)—so when the broader market trended up or down, Shell has bucked the trend.

Some analysists use "beta" to gauge a stock's volatility. Beta is a popular way to measure a stocks volatility in relation to the market. Here is a breakdown of Shell's beta stock volatility rating.
