Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 10 days.
The thesis — published March 6, 2026
Shell is being watched because it's a large, easy-to-trade way to bet on near-term strength in energy without the extra risk of small companies. Recent agreements in Venezuela and a higher price target from a big bank add credibility. The stock has held up better than many peers, so if oil and LNG stay firm over the next 0-3 months it could slowly move higher, but timing buys matters because it hasn't plunged to very low levels.
Primary drivers
- Deals in Venezuela could give more options for selling gas
- Mix of oil, gas and LNG benefits from firmer fuel prices
- Share price has been steadier than many other energy names
- A higher target from a major bank encourages institutional interest
