Royal Dutch Shell has cut its dividend for the first time since World War Two
following the collapse in global oil demand due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The energy giant also suspended the next tranche of its share buyback
programme.
The move came as it announced a 46% fall in first-quarter net income to
$2.9bn (￡2.3bn).
Chief executive Ben van Beurden warned of "continued deterioration in the
macroeconomic outlook".
He said Shell was taking "further prudent steps to bolster our resilience"
and "underpin the strength of our balance sheet".
Shell is cutting its quarterly dividend by two-thirds, from 47 cents to 16
cents, starting in the first quarter of this year.
The company said it had also cut activity at its refining business by up to
40% in response to the sharp fall in demand for oil.
David Barclay, senior investment manager at Brewin Dolphin, said: "Royal
Dutch Shell's decision to cut its dividend for the first time since World War
Two reflects the unprecedented economic impact of Covid-19.
"There was a great deal of speculation about what the energy company would do
leading up to these results and the market was braced for bad news.
"On the face of it, the dividend cut and cancellation of share buybacks may
be seen by some shareholders as a negative move in the short term. However,
looking further ahead it could well prove to be the right step, as Shell
looks to strengthen its financial position and cut costs during a very
difficult time."
3.心得/评论：
干，我失算了。原本犹豫要等财报公布还是先买，最后决定参考4/28公布的BP。
BP当天虽然财报也是悲惨，但股息不变，股价上涨，因此我决定不等财报，没想
到比我想的惨很多...
