The report highlights a notable upside from Trading & Optimisation and margin expectations, which can lift cash flow even with volume headwinds.

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Shell's update outlines a Q2 2026 outlook with weaker Integrated Gas and Upstream volumes versus Q1, but stronger Trading & Optimisation. Margins point to ~$17-20/bbl refining and ~$139-240/tonne chemicals, with refinery utilization near 100%. The mix suggests improved near-term cash flow despite volume headwinds, with consensus due late July.
