Royal Dutch Shell‘s dividend yield has reached a high of over 8%, given that its stock price fell by almost 18% in the last three months. The company has committed to paying its current dividend for the current financial year despite the pressure on its net income. However, it is now uncertain whether the company will be able to sustain this dividend in the future. The market seems bearish on Shell’s growth prospects.Our current price estimate for Shell stands at around 30% above the market price. In our bear case scenario, our price estimate faces a 20% downside, based on a reduced forecast for global crude oil prices, Shell’s exploration success, and downstream EBITDA margins. However, we remain optimistic on Shell, given its long standing history of dividend payments, we believe that Shell will not initiate a dividend cut. read more

Chief executive Ben van Beurden, speaking at the Oil and Money conference in London, said: “Shell is pulling out all the stops to safeguard our dividends and buy-back programme, and to keep our investment programme steady for the future.” read more

…just last Friday, the ex-minister was collared in London along with four other people.  They were all charged with bribery, corruption and money laundering.  Already, money is being taken off her.

BY MICHAEL EGBEJUMI-DAVID: OCT 06, 2015

I have met the former Minister of Petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke before.  It was about three years ago in an Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston.  Unfortunately for me, former US president, George W Bush Jnr was also at the event.  Everyone – including my woman! – rushed off to have their picture taken with Bush.  Not me.  I kept my eyes on Diezani.  In the end she gave me her card and asked me to call on her whenever I was in Nigeria. read more
