Shell Doubles Q3 2026 Earnings, Highest Since 2022

In a recent earnings release, major oil companies announced their quarterly results, with Shell reporting a near doubling of its Q3 2026 earnings compared to the same period last year. The quarter marked Shell’s highest earnings since 2022, a year that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While the report notes that combined earnings with other Big Oil firms were also strong, specific figures for those companies were not disclosed. The data suggest that the fossil‑fuel sector remains profitable despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and increasing scrutiny over climate policy. Investors and market analysts will likely use these results to gauge the resilience of oil majors and their capacity to sustain high returns in a shifting energy landscape.
