Predicted for 30. July 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Shell reported Q1 2026 adjusted earnings of USD 6.9B. Brent rose to approx. USD 88–90/barrel in Q2 (as of 20 July 2026) driven by Iran/Hormuz tensions – well above the Q1 average. Higher crude prices directly improve Shell's upstream margins. Beat rate over past 8 quarters: 6/8. Risk: European refining margin pressure, higher cash taxes. No direct Polymarket contract found.

Verdict: Hit
Shell plc veröffentlichte am 30. Juli 2026 seine Q2-2026-Ergebnisse und übertraf den bereinigten EPS-Konsens deutlich. Der bereinigte EPS (CCS-Basis, bereinigt um Sondereffekte) lag bei 3,52 USD je ADS gegenüber dem Zacks-Konsens von 3,23 USD – ein Beat von +0,29 USD (+9 %). Der bereinigte Konzerngewinn betrug 9,84 Mrd. USD und übertraf damit den Analystenkonses von 8,92 Mrd. USD deutlich sowie mehr als verdoppelt gegenüber 4,26 Mrd. USD im Q2 2025. Treiber waren – wie in der Vorhersage antizipiert – gestiegene realisierte Ölpreise infolge Nahost-Spannungen sowie Rekordauslastung der Raffinerien und Rekordproduktion in Brasilien. Ein separater Investing.com-Bericht weist zwar ein GAAP-EPS von 1,76 USD (Konsens 2,80 USD, Miss) aus, jedoch bezieht sich die Vorhersage explizit auf den 'bereinigten' EPS, der klar geschlagen wurde.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
