Shell Plc stock price dips as buyback rolls on and North Sea gas sale unravels

Shell Plc stock price dips as buyback rolls on and North Sea gas sale unravels

London, Jan 16, 2026, 08:46 GMT — Regular session Shares of Shell Plc edged lower on Friday morning, falling 0.8% to 2,725 pence as of 0814 GMT. (StockAnalysis) Shell’s share price remains anchored to two familiar drivers: crude prices swayed by geopolitical shifts, and a steady stream of capital-return and portfolio news. Investors are also bracing for the sector’s earnings season, when oil majors must prove their cash flow stays strong. Oil prices barely moved, with Brent rising just 0.1% to $63.81 a barrel by 0749 GMT, following a steep climb earlier this week on Iran-related concerns. “Sentiment is driving

BP share price slips again after $5bn low-carbon hit warning; buyback nerves linger

London, Jan 16, 2026, 08:54 GMT — Regular session BP shares (BP.L) slipped in early London trade Friday, following the company’s alert about a potential multi-billion dollar hit linked to its low-carbon investments. The stock dropped 0.6% to 435.1 pence, after sliding 1.3% the day before. (Investing.com) This matters now because write-downs often serve as a warning sign. Even when labeled “non-cash” and excluded from certain profit metrics, they reveal projects falling short of their expected returns. The selloff has intensified the usual debate over cash returns. BP has relied on buybacks to prop up its shares, and if commodity

Sembcorp Industries share price rises as Alinta Energy vote nears and FY2025 results date set

Singapore, January 16, 2026, 15:23 SGT — Regular session Sembcorp Industries Ltd shares rose 2% to S$6.10 by midday in Singapore on Friday, as investors sized up the next steps on its proposed purchase of Australia’s Alinta Energy. The stock traded between S$5.97 and S$6.10, and about 3.7 million shares had changed hands, according to data. (Investing.com India) The move matters because Sembcorp is pushing for shareholder backing on a deal that would deepen its bet on Australia, and it is doing it on a tight schedule. That is forcing the market to put a price on financing risk, regulatory

Seatrium share price slides 3% — why a U.S. Empire Wind ruling matters for SGX:5E2

SINGAPORE, Jan 16, 2026, 15:10 SGT — Regular session Seatrium Limited shares dropped 3.1% to S$2.22 in Singapore by mid-afternoon on Friday. The stock fluctuated between S$2.21 and S$2.27 during the session. (StockAnalysis) The shift comes amid new legal developments in the U.S. offshore wind space, where delays in projects often translate into sudden changes in vessel demand. Seatrium is set to deliver a $475 million wind vessel to Maersk, originally intended for Equinor’s Empire Wind project off New York, The Business Times reported. This is key because the vessel anchors Seatrium’s most high-profile offshore wind stake. Back in December,

Woodside Energy share price slides as oil cools; JERA winter LNG deal fails to lift stock

Sydney, Jan 16, 2026, 17:33 AEDT — Market closed. Woodside Energy Group Ltd shares fell on Friday, weighed down by a drop in oil prices that eclipsed news of a new liquefied natural gas supply deal with Japan’s JERA. The stock finished down 1.42% at A$23.68. (Investing.com Australia) Woodside’s shift stood out since it acts as a stand-in for crude and LNG prices in Sydney, yet energy lagged despite gains across the broader market. The ASX 200 eked out a roughly 0.5% gain, but energy wrapped up at the foot of the leaderboard. (ABC) Oil set the tone heading into

Vistra (VST) stock jumps nearly 7% after Meta nuclear pact — what traders watch next

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 20:50 EST — Market closed Shares of Vistra Corp climbed roughly 6.6%, finishing Thursday at $180.18, outperforming gains across the utility sector. Vistra remains at the center of a trade drawing attention to power producers as Big Tech seeks long-term electricity deals for AI-driven data centers. Last week, Meta Platforms announced 20-year power purchase agreements with three of Vistra’s nuclear plants. The company also partnered with Oklo and TerraPower on smaller reactor projects. Joel Kaplan, Meta’s chief global affairs officer, said these moves would “make Meta one of the most significant corporate purchasers of nuclear

Bloom Energy stock pops again after hours — why BE is moving and what traders watch next

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 19:46 ET — After-hours Bloom Energy Corp shares climbed 4.3% to $139.17 in after-hours trading Thursday, having briefly touched $144.41 earlier in the session. The latest surge keeps the fuel-cell maker locked into a market narrative drawing in utilities, data-center developers, and an expanding group of momentum traders. The pitch is straightforward: data centers demand reliable power delivered quickly, and a significant portion of that demand seeks sources outside the traditional grid queue. American Electric Power revealed last week that its unit will purchase a large portion of an option for solid oxide fuel cells,

Oklo stock slides after insider sales disclosures as traders reassess Meta nuclear deal

NEW YORK, Jan 15, 2026, 15:40 (ET) — Regular session Oklo Inc. shares dropped 3.8%, slipping $3.69 to $92.28 on Thursday afternoon. The stock swung between $99.14 and $92.25, with roughly 8.7 million shares changing hands, as investors reacted to insider-sale disclosures and trimmed gains from the recent nuclear power rally. Timing is crucial. Oklo, a high-volatility stock linked to the hunt for “firm” power solutions for data centers, has attracted momentum investors. In such a volatile setup, insider selling—even when expected—can unsettle shareholders. Big Tech is making moves into nuclear power. Last week, Meta Platforms announced deals with Vistra

The fuel-cell manufacturer last traded up 8.0% at $144.11. The shift came as investors zeroed in on firms tied to the growing electricity demand, particularly from data centers. Tristan Abbey, Administrator of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, noted that electricity consumption “rises through 2027, driven largely by increasing demand from large computing facilities, including data centers.” (U.S. Energy Information Administration) Bloom sells solid oxide fuel cells—devices that produce electricity

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 08:17 EST — Premarket Devon Energy (DVN) shares closed up 2.93% at $37.92 on Wednesday, putting the U.S. shale producer within roughly 2.5% of its 52-week high. About 16.7 million shares traded, a busy day for a stock that has been churning with crude headlines. (Devon Energy) That set-up comes as oil prices swung again overnight.

Oil prices tumble 4% on Trump Iran remarks, putting Exxon and Chevron in focus premarket

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 06:49 EST — Premarket Oil prices fell more than 4% on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump said killings of protesters in Iran were ending, cooling fears of U.S. military action that could disrupt supply. Brent, the global benchmark, was down $2.84, or 4.27%, at $63.68 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell $2.68, or 4.32%, to $59.34 by 1012 GMT.

SSE stock steadies near highs after Berwick Bank wins 20-year UK wind price deal

London, Jan 15, 2026, 09:26 GMT — Regular session SSE shares nudged higher on Thursday, staying close to recent peaks after the UK utility locked in a long-term price agreement for a portion of its Berwick Bank offshore wind project. By 0926 GMT, the stock had gained 0.2% to 2,299 pence. (Investing.com) The award matters because it sets a government-backed price for a significant portion of output just as developers grapple with rising construction costs and tougher financing conditions.
