???? 據今日油價網站2月4日消息 殼牌公司公布稱，2020年利潤為48.5億美元，較2019年的164.6億美元下降87%。
????雖然這一結果受到疫情的負面影響，但殼牌仍設法保持盈利，這與BP和埃克森美孚等同行不同。該公司對本季度也持樂觀態度，將2020年最后一個季度的股息分配從每股0.1665美元上調至每股0.1735美元。
????殼牌首席執行官Ben van Beurden在殼牌業績發布會上表示：“2020年是不平凡的一年。我們采取了強硬但果斷的措施，并表現出高度彈性的運營交付，同時關心我們的員工、客戶和社區。2020年，我們的資產負債表將更加強勁，準備加快我們的戰略步伐，開創能源的未來。我們致力于我們的漸進式股息政策，預計到2021年第一季度，我們的每股美元股息將增長4%左右?！?/p>
????與其他歐洲超級巨頭一樣，殼牌公司也加快了向可再生能源和其他新業務的轉移，這是受疫情引發的油價暴跌的刺激，油價暴跌對支出計劃和增長戰略造成了嚴重破壞。該公司最新的一項舉措是收購英國最大的電動汽車充電網絡ubitricity，該公司沒有透露任何財務細節。

????Shell’s Profits Plunge 87% In 2020
????Anglo-Dutch supermajor Shell reported a profit of 4.85 billion for 2020, down 87 percent on the year, from $16.46 billion booked for 2019.
????While the result was negatively affected by the pandemic, Shell still managed to remain in the black, unlike peers including BP and Exxon. The company was also upbeat for this quarter, raising its dividend to $0.1735 per share from $0.1665 per share to be distributed for the final quarter of 2020.
????“2020 was an extraordinary year,” chief executive Ben van Beurden said at the release of Shell’s results. “We have taken tough but decisive actions and demonstrated highly resilient operational delivery while caring for our people, customers and communities. We are coming out of 2020 with a stronger balance sheet, ready to accelerate our strategy and make the future of energy. We are committed to our progressive dividend policy and expect to grow our US dollar dividend per share by around 4% as of the first quarter 2021.”
????Like the rest of the European supermajors, Shell has accelerated its shift to renewable energy and other new business ventures, spurred by the oil price crash brought about by the pandemic that wreaked havoc on spending plans and growth strategies. Its latest move in that direction was the acquisition of the biggest EV charging network in the UK, ubitricity, for which the company did not disclose any financial details.
