Shell plc reported a fourth quarter 2025 income attributable to shareholders of $4,134 million, a decrease from $5,322 million in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to unfavorable tax movements and lower marketing margins. For the full year 2025, income attributable to shareholders was $17,838 million, an 11% increase compared to $16,094 million in 2024, driven by higher volumes and favorable tax movements, despite lower realized prices.
